LISTEN: Christina Aguilera is back with the Kanye West-produced ‘Accelerate’, her first single in six years

Will Lavin

XTINA is back!

It’s been six years since we had a Christina Aguilera album but today the superstar singer breaks the hiatus by announcing that her sixth studio Liberation will arrive this coming June.

To accompany the announcement Christina also dropped off her brand new track ‘Accelerate’, a song that features Hip Hop heavyweights Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz, and is produced by Kanye West himself

Also releasing a video for the song, it might start off looking like any other pop video but towards the end things get a little, well, weird.

Closing her eyes, Christina holds her head up while a clear liquid is poured all over her face. The first thing that came to my mind was: “What is it?”

Is it baby oil? Syrup? Hair gel? I just don’t know. But what I do know is that it’s a little on the strange side.

Take a look for yourself.
