FINALLY! Christina Aguilera is back with new music and a new album, six years after last. The track is called "Accelerate" and it's from her forthcoming album, "Liberate," due out June 15. Chicago son Kanye West produced the track. Look for Aguilera's next track to be the Demi Lovato duet, "Fall In Line." Reports indicate it could be as soon as two weeks for that track to drop.

JOFFREY BALLET
The Joffrey is closing out its 2017-2018 season with a spectacular show from choreographer Alexander Ekman called "Midsummer Night's Dream." It's a tribute the Swedish midsummer festival. The show is bizarrely beautiful and a sight to see. The opening "straw" number alone is worth the price of the ticket. This is not the Joffrey Ballet you are used to. It's a mix of classical ballet and modern dance. "Midsummer Night's Dream" runs through Sunday, May 6 at the Auditorium Theatre. Purchase tickets at http://Joffrey.org.
