The New Sassy Christina Milian

17 May 2004

Christina Milian is back on the charts with her new song 'Dip It Low', she's also made moves into the Beyonce arena by making the film clip as sexy as possible. Which in context is fine because that's what the song is about, "What the song is talking about is putting an effort into the relationship as a female. If you wanna be a little more sexy, you gotta dip it low," Milian has said. Christina first got noticed in the show biz world through the Disney Channe on "The Movie Surfers" - so a provocative single and video like "Dip It Low" might seem a bit surprising. But after her self-titled 2001 debut failed to take off even after she'd collaborated with Ja Rule on "Between Me and You," Milian was eager to take a different approach.

"My first single off my last album, 'AM to PM,' was more of a kiddie kind of thing, very pop," she said. "This new single is more R&B, kind of a club/party kind of vibe. And I'm excited about it 'cause it's a new me. I'm 22 now and there's been some maturity, and it's nice for people to see this change." 'Dip It Low' is the first single from Milian's second album, 'It's About Time', due June 15. The track list has yet to be finalized, but the album is sure to be star-studded. Milian has, after all, made some big connections since her last album, albeit through movies.

Christina has also been in plenty of movies in the last year and at the moment she's shooting the "Get Shorty" sequel "Be Cool" with Outkast's Andre 3000 and Steven Tyler as well as John Travolta, Uma Thurman and others.
