Christina Aguilera sets off explosive ‘Your Body’ video

The Christina Aguilera comeback machine kicked into higher gear Friday morning with the online premiere of the music video for “Your Body,� the lead single from the pop star’s forthcoming “Lotus,� which is scheduled for release on Nov. 13.

“No men were harmed in the making of this video,� reads a notice at the beginning of the mayhem-filled clip. It’s a useful disclaimer, as Aguilera spends the next four minutes knocking off several of them (including one stubbled Adam Levine look-alike) in increasingly elaborate fashion. (Watch it below.)

Produced by Swedish hit-makers Max Martin and Shellback, “Your Body� layers Aguilera’s powerhouse vocals over a booming Euro-dance beat; it’s a more straightforward (and radio-ready) sound than Aguilera went for on 2010’s relatively edgy “Bionic,� which featured songs co-written by Le Tigre and M.I.A. and was widely perceived as a commercial disappointment.

That year’s ‘“Burlesque� -- an under-performing movie musical co-starring Aguilera and Cher -- didn’t provide much boost, but Aguilera regained her footing in 2011 as a judge on NBC’s “The Voice� and eventually teaming with Levine’s band Maroon 5 for the Hot 100-topping “Moves Like Jagger.�

Aguilera has said she’ll take a break from the “The Voice� next spring in order to tour behind “Lotus,� which will reportedly include collaborations with Alex Da Kid, Sia and fellow “Voice� judge Cee Lo Green.

“Your Body,� meanwhile, debuts this week in Billboard at No. 34.
