We love our dear Kelis! Her latest interview for the Sunday Times is just a glimpse into the busy life of this singer, mother and chef! (yes, she's a formally trained cook).

On Her Present Life:

“My mom always used to tell us, ‘Your twenties? Whatever. In your thirties you’ll be your most beautiful, your sexiest, your smartest.’ I’ve been through so many life changes getting here, it’s, like, she was right.” She describes Acapella as “a love song — ‘before you, my whole life was acapella’ — like, before you came I was singing alone, there was no music”, and says she wrote it for her son.

On Standing Up for Yourself and Moving On:

Kelis seems to embody the notion of the alpha female — a woman who isn’t afraid to voice her full rage, who is in control of her sexuality and who will file for divorce from her husband six months into her first pregnancy if those “differences” are “irreconcilable” enough. Her message has always been about standing up for yourself — now it appears to be about moving on. She says she doesn’t hold grudges. “I definitely get verbal and confron­tational,” she says, “but once I get it out, I’m good. If life knocks you down, you just get up again. And again. And again.”

Check out this 15-second preview of Christina Aguilera’s new single “Not Myself Tonight,” off her forthcoming album, Bionic.

Aguileria describes the album as a mix of many genres and styles of music. “I was able to explore and create a fresh, sexy feel using both electronic and organic elements with subject matter ranging from playful to introspective. I am so excited for my fans to hear the new sound. It is something I don’t think anyone will expect” says the songstress.

 Bionic features songs co-written by Christina along with collaborations from Sia, Tricky Stewart, Polow Da Don, Le Tigre, Hill & Switch, and Ladytron among others. There’s even a ballad produced and written by Linda Perry titled “Lift Me Up”.

Christina notes, “Working on this album with so many talented artists and producers that I admire was really an amazing experience. The artists I chose to work with added so many unique sonic layers to Bionic. My intention was to step into their world and what they do combined with my own vision and sound. The results were magic.” 

The new track "Not Myself Tonight"  drops Tuesday night & the album on June 8th. Christina also recently wrapped up her first film, Burlesque which co-stars Cher, Stanley Tucci, and Kristen Bell.
