Ladytron are writing songs for Christina Aguilera
we know, we know.... Christina-Who?
You know the one, thinks you're beautiful no matter what they say, sweated until her clothes fell off, was a genie in a bottle with a sweet-talkin' sugar coated candyman...
Anyways, she's had the band Ladytron round to her gaff in LA to write some songs for her new album. Which is all good given the Goldfrapp-you-like stomp of her last single. Apparently Aguilera's place used to belong to Ozzy Osbourne, so maybe some rock vibes might slip in there.
Working with the reformed Xtina is a mere diversion in Ladytron's plans for world domination. They've a new single Tomorrow released... not tomorrow. 2nd March actually. 2009's hard grafting includes a confirmed Eastern European tour with Depeche Mode in May, a South American headlining tour and a co-headlining US tour with The Faint and an Australian show with Brian Eno. Phew! How do they have time to drop by for songwriting duties for major pop stars?!
Here's a sneaky rip, (probably soon to be disabled) of their new single:
Spooky video, huh? Reminds us of watching Ghost Hunting With Girls Aloud. Classic.
