In stark contrast with last year’s wonderfully lewd “Untitled,” “Love Letter” is a relatively chaste retro-soul set that Kelly says was influenced by the old-school work of Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye. Kelly sings in the a cappella introduction to his latest studio album, “and even all the bootleggers that couldn’t afford to buy me.” A characteristic bon mot from the Pied Piper of R&B-and yet much of “Love Letter” seems designed to confound our expectations about a new Kelly album. “This album is dedicated to the girls who stood beside me,” R. All together, it’s a campy celebration of diva-dom and an over-the-top, triple-threat performance. And Marilyn Manson gets a songwriting credit on “The Beautiful People,” a new dance number including his original’s unmistakable drums and guitar riff. Her second collaboration with songwriter Sia Furler, the ballad “Bound to You,” rings just as true as their first, on “Bionic.” With her first new material in seven years, “Burlesque” co-star Cher belts out a defiant Diane Warren ballad (“You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me”) in her alto growl. On “Burlesque,” Aguilera tackles jazzy Ella Fitzgerald and vampy Mae West covers, doused heavily with pop schmaltz.

The soundtrack comes on the heels of Aguilera’s 2010 set “Bionic,” the singer’s noble attempt at the current radio sound, which has fared less well sales-wise. NEW YORK (Billboard) - The soundtrack to “Burlesque,” Christina Aguilera’s first star vehicle, could be a continuation of her 2006 album “Back to Basics.” And why not? It showcased her distinctive flair for the big band style. ARTIST: CHRISTINA AGUILERA, CHER ALBUM: BURLESQUE: ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK
