On November 19, 2005 Aguilera married music management executive Jordan Bratman. Her latest album, Back to Basics, was released on August 15, 2006 to positive critical reception and included elements of soul, jazz, and blues music. On January 12, 2008 Aguilera gave birth to her son, Max Liron Bratman. His name translates to “Our Greatest Song” in Hebrew. Christina is currently working on a new album slated for a November 2009 release collaborating with artists such as Goldfrapp, Ladytron and Sia. . Most of the fans know that Aguilera is no stranger to switching things up. In 1999 she started out as a pop star (like the rest of them) that could actually sing. In 2002, she became X-Tina, known for her raw lyrics and racier outfits. Then, finally, in 2006, with the release of Back to Basics, she became known as Baby Jane, dressing down a bit from the Stripped era in 2002, dying her hair platinum blond and looking like someone from the 50s or 60s… Who knows what’s next?
