Beyond marking Christina Aguilera’s first decade in the business, the Nov. 11 Target exclusive “Keeps Getting Better: A Decade of Hits” serves as a sneak preview for the artist’s next RCA studio album.

Aguilera tells Billboard the as-yet-untitled set will arrive in summer 2009 and will be mostly produced by Linda Perry.

“With my last album, I had music that was very ’20s, ’30s and ’40s, and was very detailed and part of a very specific genre and sound,” she says. “But with this new album, I wanted to go in a completely opposite direction-a very futuristic, robotic sound and computer-sounding vocals. I’m experimenting with my voice in ways I’ve never done before, almost like a technical, computer-generated sound, which is different for me because I’m the type of vocalist that just belts. I’m always inspired by new things because I get bored.”

“The album is very pop and very upbeat, and it’s inspired by [Andy] Warhol and the late-’60s scene,” says RCA senior VP of marketing Scott Seviour, who adds that Aguilera has been in the studio as often as she can, considering she became a mother in January. “Once you hear the new material you’ll have a very clear idea what the direction of it is.”

As for “Keep Getting Better,” it includes new versions of “Genie in a Bottle” and “Beautiful,” titled “Genie 2.0″ and “You Are What You Are (Beautiful),” respectively, plus the new songs “Keeps Getting Better” and “Dynamite.” Staples such as “Dirrty,” “Come On Over” and “Hurt” also appear.

Produced by Perry, the new and remixed tracks all feature “futuristic sounds with beats driven more toward dance music,” Aguilera says. “This time around, I’m playing with this superhero element based on the fact that fans have grown up with me since I was 17 and have continually supported my changes throughout the years.”

Aguilera is planning to tour next year.

Here are some candids of Christina leaving her hotel in NYC with Jordan last October 28 that you might have not seen yet.

Added as well more pics of her shopping with Jordan and her father-in-law.

Also, I’ve replaced the pics of Christina leaving her hotel in NYC with Max on the other hand with HQ ones.

Caption: Christina Aguilera, hubby Jordan and baby Max made a special visit to Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in Hollywood last night, and it looks like the little guy is really enjoying his first Halloween! Xtina and Jordan videotaped their bundle of joy as he took in the spooky sights and sounds, and we can’t help but notice that Max is starting to look a lot like his daddy!

Christina Aguilera – A Decade of Hits

Hey all you blog readers, you are the first to know that the one and only Christina Aguilera will be calling tomorrow morning just after 8:30. She’s got a new Greatest Hits album out and we’ll chat about that, as well as her son.

If you miss the interview tomorrow morning, I’ll put up the audio here! The album title will get you points today.

Description: Christina and Jordan Bratman took their son Max to the Pumpkin Patch the day before Halloween. They crawled around and Christina seemed to have as much fun as her son!

Description: It’s been ten years since Christina Aguilera exploded on the scene, and now to celebrate her anniversary, she dressed up like a superhero — and Access was on the set!

Caption: Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman were spotted going to a medical center in Beverly Hills on Thursday. It probably was for a check-up. That’s what I am hoping for anyway. I don’t see their adorable tiny tot for Christ so hopeful it is just a routine check-up for the parents.
