Ladytron Pen Songs for Christina Aguileras Next Album
When Christina Aguilera enlisted Ladytron to write songs for her upcoming fourth album, Light & Darkness, she could have wielded her diva powers and told the British electro-pop group exactly what she was looking for. Thankfully, thats not what happened. She just told us she wanted to enter our world, Ladytron multi-instrumentalist Reuben Wu tells Spinner. She didnt want to give us any idea what she wanted the music to be. She wanted us to do our own thing.
Wu says Aguilera approached the group two years ago and that the surprisingly modest pop star wasnt shy about declaring herself a fan. She said she was inspired by our music and we were one of her favorite bands, he says. Although Wu and his cohorts fellow keyboardist Daniel Hunt and vocalists Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo were initially required to remain hush-hush about the project, they couldnt keep their secret from everyone.
What do we do but tell our parents? Wu says. Christina is one of those people where you know your parents would have heard of her, so its kind of good for us to tell our moms and dads, Look, mom, look, dad were actually doing something you can understand.
Over the course of 10 years and four studio albums, Ladytron has earned praise from and toured with the likes of Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode, but the Aguilera collaboration marks the first time the Liverpool quartet has written for another artist. Working with Christina was a completely different experience, Wu says. To hear her singing on those tracks, it was pretty shocking how great her voice is. Obviously, you hear it on MTV and on the radio, but to actually listen in front of you, singing in front of you, its a completely different thing. And quite a few of the songs, she just did one take, and that was it.
Due out early next year, Light & Darkness will also feature contributions from Goldfrapp and Sia Furler electronic artists whose involvement suggests Aguilera is trading the retro-pop vibe of her last album for something more futuristic. My feeling is that she got to a point in her life where she wanted to take her music to a different level, Wu says. She was willing to take a risk and go in a completely different direction. It wasnt like, Oh, I want to be all electro. It wasnt anything like that. She just wanted to evolve her music according to what she was listening to at the time.
Besides Ladytron, Aguilera has evidently been getting down to Brazilian dance rock and 90s British punk. While visiting the singer in Los Angeles recently, the members of Ladytron rode with her to a CSS show, blasting Elastica jams in the back of her limo. Shes got really good taste, Wu says.
Wu isnt sure how many of Ladytrons tracks will make the finished Light & Darkness, but he says all of the songs pick up where the groups last album, 2008s Velocifero, left off. In working with Aguilera, Wu and company were even inspired to write some major-key tunes, something the darkly dressed, quasi-Goth party starters arent exactly known for.
Im glad to say theyre still very Ladytron, and theyre also very Christina, because her voice is on the tracks, he says. Were very pleased with it.

ขอสรุปคร่าวๆ คือ
อีติ๊ติดต่อวงนี้ไปตั้งแต่ 2 ปีที่แล้ว โดยบอกว่าอีติ๊เป็นแฟนตัวยงของวงนี้ และอยากให้ทำเพลงให้ โดยเงื่อนไขการทำงานเพลงคือ "ทำมาเลย... ติ๊ร้องเอง" กล่าวคือ... อีติ๊ไม่ได้ขอร้องให้อลดี้ตรอนทำเพลงแบบที่อีติ๊ต้องการ แต่อีติ๊ขอให้ทำเพลงแบบที่เป็นเลดี้ ตรอนจริงๆ ...เสมือนกับว่าทำเพลงให้ตัวเองแต่เปลี่ยนเสียงร้องเป็นอีติ๊นั่นแหละ
การทำงานลุล่วงไปด้วยดี โดยส่วนใหญ่อีติ๊ร้องเทคเดียวผ่าน
สมาชิกวงยังเสริมด้วยว่า การทำงานเพลงกับอีติ๊จะทำให้พ่อแม่ของพวกเค้าเข้าใจในตัวพวกเค้ามากขึ้น (ประมาณว่าพ่อแม่ไม่ปลื้มที่ลูกๆ ทำเพลงปวดหู ประสาทแดก... อารมณ์เอาพ่อแม่เรามาฟังเพลงกามิกาเซ่น่ะแหละ) อีติ๊จะเป็นคนที่ทำให้พ่อแม่ยอมรับพวกเค้าในฐานะศิลปินมากขึ้น
และก็ปิดท้ายดว้ยว่า เพลงที่พวกเค้าทำให้อีติ๊จะยังคงเอกลักษณ์ความเป็นเลดี้ตรอนและอีติ๊เอาไว้ทั้งคู่ และพวกเค้าภูมิใจผลงานและการร่วมงานครั้งนี้มากครับ
