Aguilera recently appeared on the “Oprah” show, and has scheduled a number of television appearances — including live appearances at the MTV Movie Awards and on the Today Show Summer Concert Series — in conjunction with the album’s release.

Recorded in Aguilera’s home studio, “Bionic” features collaborations with Sia, Le Tigre, Christopher “Tricky Stewart,” Hill & Switch and Ladytron, and a ballad entitled “Lift Me Up” written by Linda Perry, who also penned “Back to Basics” singles “Hurt” and “Candyman” and Aguilera’s 2002 hit, “Beautiful.”
