AceShowbiz - Ahead of the release of her highly-anticipated album "Liberation", Christina Aguilera has given fans one last taste of the effort. The blonde songstress recruits rapper GoldLink for sultry new track entitled "Like I Do", which was released on Thursday, June 8.
It opens with GoldLink delivering a poetic verse about how he feels unstoppable when he's around his own lover. He also references some of Tina's previous hits such as "Genie in a Bottle" and "Ain't No Other Man" in his verse. "Coexisting, you the moon, I'm the sun/ Genie in my bottle," he raps. "I'm trying to rub on your hips/ Ain't no other man who can talk to you like I did."
Tina takes charges from there, sultrily singing about how her and her younger lover should "Marvin Gaye and get it on." She sings over the syncopated, summery production, "Boy, you're so much better when you don't speak/ If you get something get one thing/ Can't play me, boy, I'm out of your league."
"Liberation" is due out on June 15. It will mark her first album since giving birth to her children, whom she shares with fiance Matthew Rutler. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, the singer admitted that having children "slow things down." She said of her album, "This album just encouraged me to get back to my truth and things that felt real and that little was truly passionate about music in the first place before the business of it swallows you up whole."
In support of the album, Tina is scheduled to embark on a North America tour, her first tour in ten years. The 24-dates trek will launch on September 25 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood and conclude on November 13 at Mahaffey Theater at St. Petersburg.
