AIN’T NO OTHER MAN - CHRISTINA AGUILERA
Christina Aguilera has come a long way from the youth pop class of 2000. Upcoming album “Back to Basics,” a “modern take on vintage jazz and blues,” may test her core, but first single “Ain’t No Other Man” is primed for radio saturation, with its hip, melodic imprint and the world-class diva’s instantly recognizable vocals. “Man” isn’t the best song Aguilera has offered, but this is an event record that will further catapult X’tina into the millennium pop pantheon. Just hearing that voice again is refreshing — and the fact that she’s wise enough to know that white girl urban is passe is all the more awe-inspiring. Billboard
