[AUDIO] 'YOU LOST ME / BLANK PAGE' - CHRISTINA AGUILERA (FEAT. SIA)

It looks like the mastermind behind some of Christina's best remixes, Lucas (Twitter), has done it again, but in the form of a mash-up featuring Sia's vocals in "You Lost Me" and "Blank Page".

Check out the amazing job he did below.

@karlosacenteno oh wow I wonder where this came from!? It's just a guide vocal for the harmonies in the pre chorus!

[NEWS] THE LEGACY OF 'BIONIC': WHY CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S MOST MISUNDERSTOOD ALBUM WAS ACTUALLY AHEAD OF ITS TIME

Hey Little Dreamers! I'm Sam Lansky, pop scholar, and this is Pop Think, my weekly column dedicated to shining a light on the oft-ignored corners of the pop music universe. Let's get to it:

Is there a pop album from the last several years that was as unjustly sh***ed on (to borrow sentiment from Nicki Minaj) as Christina Aguilera's Bionic? The big-voiced chanteuse's sixth studio album received mixed reviews and underperformed commercially, while her image took a beating in the press for being messy and misdirected, even though the record was, at times, precociously brilliant.

So, surprise! As your resident pop apologist, on the eve of the two-year anniversary of Bionic's release (time flies, doesn't it, kids?), I'm traveling back through time to take a look back at Christina's wildly misunderstood, sometimes-genius Bionic—and reflecting on how the ferocious songbird, who's found a new life as the HBIC on "The Voice," had a surprisingly forward-thinking approach on her last album.

Expectations ran exceptionally high for Christina Aguilera's album Bionic, with a list of top-shelf collaborators both mainstream and indie; big names like Tricky Stewart, Ester Dean, Nicki Minaj, and Polow da Don were joined by more alt-leaning voices like Ladytron, Le Tigre, Santigold, Peaches, and Sia, for a sound that promised to be diverse and collaborative. But that left-of-center sound was missing from the album's debut single, "Not Myself Tonight," an aggressive stomper that drew comparisons to Lady Gaga and peaked at a decent-but-not-great #23 on the Hot 100. The second single, "Woohoo," featuring Nicki Minaj, topped out at a dismal #79 on that same chart, and the final effort, "You Lost Me," failed to enter the Hot 100 at all — Christina's first single to do so. Quietly, and without much fanfare, the Bionic era drew to a close.

So. What went wrong? Her collaborator, Daniel Hunt of Ladytron, blamed RCA, saying bluntly that Christina's label "f***ed up everything" when it came to putting together the final album. And while it's always convenient to blame the label for the faults of an artist, it did certainly seem as though Christina's original artistic vision — to create a distinctively fresh product — got muddled somewhere along the way, perhaps by the overreaching commercial expectations of a chart-conscious team.

But Ladytron was right -- most of the album's best tracks were relegated to the bonus tracks only available on the deluxe edition of the album. And what's startling is how thrilling most those songs are two years after their release. If the tracks on the standard edition were modern but fairly pedestrian, split neatly between uptempo, hypersexual club bangers like "Desnudate" and "Glam" and weepy ballads like "Lift Me Up" and "You Lost Me," the songs on the deluxe edition are forward-thinking and even timeless, galactic pop with subversive, ambient production. The hand-claps and dissonant layered vocals on "Monday Morning," co-penned by San by Santigold, evoke the '80s with subtlety and charm (it wouldn't sound out of place on Ladyhawke's first album). "Bobblehead" is a dazzlingly weird rap-and-percussion diss track, and the Ladytron-produced "Birds of Prey" is a masterwork of sinister bad-trip anxiety. My personal favorite, though, is "Little Dreamer," the iTunes bonus track, another Ladytron collab, which walks the tightrope between wistful affection and melancholy grief, and shows off Christina's vocals at their finest: Powerful, emotive, and more controlled than the melismatic belting for which she's frequently recognized.

In its own way, Bionic neatly illustrates the dangers artists face when aggressively trying to keep up with "current" music: Mainstream music is a runaway express train hurtling itself toward the trendiest end of the pop music zeitgeist. As a result, futuristic pop track can already sound dated by the time it's released. And even when they don't, those chart-chasing songs don't age particularly gracefully. But two years after the fact, Bionic's moments of greatness remain about as good as it gets. On her next album, I'm gunning for Christina to show us that side of her, stronger than ever.

THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}

It's hard to believe it's already the one year anniversary of Christina Aguilera's fourth studio album, ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, are you ready to go?

From the moment I first heard ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, Christina has taken over my mind frame, and has had me put it on replay over and over until I've gone insane. Christina has effectively made me 'feel unusual' and I don't care one bit. I haven't gotten off the rollercoaster, and I still don't want to. Each and every day I'm shouting XXX-TTT-III-NNN-AA, say!

Thanks to ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC}, I listen to it at least once every day since its release and I've even renamed my Wednesdays to 'Woohoo Wednesdays' ...so "more power to the 'Woohoo.'" Christina has her Naked Sundays and I got my Woohoo Wednesdays, xoxo.

The vision behind ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC} is just absolutely astounding from the musical direction to the visual imagery which has established unimaginable iconography in Christina's colorful catalog of artistry. Christina also collaborated with an unprecedented amount of artists for ∙∙∙ {Bi~ON~iC} from M.I.A. to Lil Jon (which came out of nowhere!), Le Tigre, Peaches, Santigold, Ladytron, and of course the bucket of sunshine, Sia Furler which has yielded tremendously spellbinding results.

[PHOTOS] EXCLUSIVE: CHRISTINA AGUILERA 'YOU LOST ME' MUSIC VIDEO STILLS

Christina Aguilera is back and better than ever with her powerhouse new ballad 'You Lost Me,' and PopEater is excited to bring you exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the music video shoot. On the somber track, the singer maintains the futurism of her 'Bionic' album while bringing the honesty and emotion that have made Aguilera one of the premier balladeers of our time.

Anthony Mandler, who wrote the treatment for the 'You Lost Me' video, explains, "From the first keys of the opening of the track, we know that we are about to watch something that is going to move and transform us."

The video will feature a series of connected vignettes.

"In the end, we've traveled through Christina's world. One that is physical, mental and spiritually charged. Nothing is what it seems. Everything is fractured and evolving, falling away ... fragile," he adds.

An official video premiere date has not been announced.

Christina Aguilera’s new video for You Lost Me doesn’t drop until next Tuesday, but we’ve got a sneak peek for you right now! The video looks much more like Beautiful as opposed to Not Myself Tonight. I don’t care if it’s a blank screen for 3 1/2 minutes as long as I don’t have to hear about her copying Lady Gaga anymore.

Here are more pics from the You Lost Me video shoot and don’t forget to check out the video on MuchMusic and MuchMusic.com when it drops on Tuesday July 20!

[VIDEO OF THE DAY] CHRISTINA AGUILERA: 'THE VOICE WITHIN'

Editor's Note:

As we patiently wait for the Release of the "You Lost Me" music video i thought it would be a good idea to go back and reflect on what Christina has brought to the table so far. Bionic IS Christina's most FUN album she has ever released with beat popping tracks like "Desnudate" "Elastic Love" "Prima Donna" among many more. The first single "Not Myself Tonight" was the phttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giferfect single to be released putting the cherry on top for the product with the Music Video, giving it the style and look of how she wanted to promote it..with the You Lost Me music video preview i saw almost 2 videos combined, "Beautiful" & "The Voice Within" But knowing Christina Aguilera shes going to push boundaries again and make a video that will be astounding. We still have a lot coming from Christina, remember we are still waiting for the Theatrical Trailer, book, and soundtrack for Burlesque. Among many more performances and surprises she has in store for you, like a ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE COVER she has made one for every album lets see what iconic cover she bring for this edition.
