    Christina Aguilera Admits Follow-Up to Her Debut Spanish Album Was 20 Years Overdue

    by

    Instagram

    Having been busy working on two records, the ‘Dirrty’ hitmaker claims to have fallen in love with music all over again after going through soul-searching over the past year.

    Apr 14, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Christina Aguilera has promised fans another Spanish album is in the works, confessing it’s “about 20 years overdue.”

    The “Dirrty” hitmaker, whose father is Ecuadorian, has been busy developing two new musical projects – one in English and another in Spanish, and although recording the new material has “re-inspired” the singer, she insists it will be a little while longer before she is ready to share her latest tracks.

    “I’m months away from anything being announced,” she tells Health magazine. “I’m simultaneously working on my English record and the follow-up to my debut Spanish album – about 20 years overdue.”

    “I’m a perfectionist and want to give everything my best – especially because of the soul-searching I’ve done over the past year and the new perspective I have. I am re-inspired and have reconnected with myself. I’ve fallen in love with music all over again, which is a really big thing to say, having spent my entire career in music.”

    Aguilera’s last album, “Liberation”, was released in 2018, while her only Spanish-language studio project to date is “Mi Reflejo (My Reflection)”, which dropped in 2000.

    Elsewhere in the interview, Aguilera was asked if she is proud of the success she has had. “I’m proud of my honesty. It’s a really hard thing to stick to in this business, especially when you’ve grown up under a microscope at a time when society was very critical of young women,” she responded.

    “I’ve had to work through a lot of insecurities in front of everybody,” the 40-year-old went on to add. “Every setback has catapulted me forward. I think that’s my fighting spirit. And, at the end of the day, living that truth and being honest has always propelled me forward.”

      Christina Aguilera in 'Work Mode' After Joining Jay-Z's Roc Nation

      The ‘Genie in a Bottle’ songstress seems to be cooking up some new music after parting ways with her manager of 20 years and quietly signing with Jay-Z’s management company.

      Nov 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Christina Aguilera is possibly preparing new music after she switched management companies. The singer has joined Jay-Z’s Roc Nation management after he parted ways with her manager of 20 years, Irving Azoff.
      Rumors of the switch sparked after Xtina’s name and bio appeared on the Roc Nation management roster. The company, however, has not officially announced her as its newly-signed artist though Variety reports that the move happened several weeks ago.
      With the move, the 39-year-old pop star joins a number of A-list artists under the Jay-Z-founded agency, namely Alicia Keys, DJ Khaled, Mariah Carey, Megan Thee Stallion, Meek Mill and Rihanna.
      Following the reports of her becoming part of Roc Nation, Christina seemed to tease a new project. On Tuesday, November 10, she posted two photos of her sporting a black latex outfit with round sunglasses. Looking stylish with a full makeup one and a pulled-back hairstyle, she simply wrote in the caption, “Work mode.”

      The caption has got her followers hopeful of new music from the “What a Girl Wants” hitmaker, with one asking in the comment section, “New music????” Another excited fan wrote, “New music coming soon.” A third fan begged, “New album please,” while another seemingly pleaded, “We need the album!!”
      Radio host Mike Adam also commented on Christina joining Roc Nation, believing that it’s going to take her career to a positive direction. “#ChristinaAguilera joins @RocNation for management! This is huge! @Xtina is one of the most astounding vocalists of all time. In recent years, due to lack of promotion, lack of proper management, she hasn’t garnered the acclaim she deserves. Hopefully, that’s all about to change,” he tweeted.
      Christina’s last album “Liberation” was released in 2018 to lukewarm responses from fans, despite majorly positive reviews from critics. It debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 68,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. She last recorded “Loyal Brave True” and a new version of “Reflection” for the soundtrack of Disney’s live-action “Mulan”.

      Alicia Keys Recalls Coming Close to Giving Christina Aguilera 'If I Ain't Got You'

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Girl on Fire’ singer opens up in a new interview about the story behind her 2004 track that stayed on Billboard Hot R’n’B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for over a year.
      Sep 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Alicia Keys came close to giving Christina Aguilera her hit song “If I Ain’t Got You”.
      The 2004 track helped catapult the Grammy winner to fame and it became the first song to stay on America’s Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs music chart for over a year, but Alicia’s hit almost belonged to someone else.
      “There’s a really funny, amazing story around this song,” Alicia revealed during an interview with Stereogum. “I think we were on the same label at the time. She (Christina) reached out and was like, ‘Would you write something for me?’ And then it came through so many emails.”
      “What a voice! I know I could write something fire for her. So time passed and I hadn’t written the song yet. And (the label) was like, ‘Do you have anything for Christina?’ I remember I had just recently written ‘If I Ain’t Got You’.”

        See also…

      Alicia eventually went on to pen Impossible for Christina’s 2002 album “Stripped”, but that song was born out of the conflict over “If I Ain’t Got You”.
      “I told my A&R (manager) at the time, ‘Let’s play her If I Ain’t Got You’. He said, ‘Are you f**king crazy? We’re not giving her that song. Are you out your mind?’,” she recalled with a laugh. “I was like, ‘Why not? I’ll write a hundred more of those, it’s fine. I think she should hear it. I don’t really think it’s a big deal’. But I thought, ‘Fine, I’ll go write another song’. So I went off and wrote ‘Impossible’.”
      Alicia cherishes the moments she shared at the recording studio with Christina while they laid down the vocals for “Impossible”, adding, “I went to cut it with her and I love how she sounded on it. It was such a cool vibe for us to be able to work together during those times… Iit’s really important to be in the same space to just get all the energy. That was great. She sounded so good and she’s very special too.”
      “But I will never forget that I would have given away ‘If I Ain’t Got You’. Isn’t that crazy?”

      Christina Aguilera's New 'Mulan' Soundtrack 'Loyal Brave True' Stresses 'Vulnerability and Strength'

      by

      Instagram

      Speaking of her return to her Disney roots 22 years after singing ‘Reflection’ for the 1998 original movie, the ‘Dirrty’ songstress tweets, ‘ ‘Mulan has been such a special part of my life and this is a beautiful continuation of the legacy.’
      Mar 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Christina Aguilera has made a return to her Disney root with a new soundtrack for “Mulan”. More than two decades after lending her voice to “Reflection” from the 1998 original movie, the five-time Grammy Award winner sings about “vulnerability and strength” in “Loyal Brave True”, which has been released on Friday, March 6.
      “My new song, ‘Loyal Brave True,’ represents the fine balance between vulnerability and strength,” the 39-year-old hitmaker said in a statement. “The film ‘Mulan’ and the song ‘Reflection’ coincided with getting me my first record deal. It’s amazing to come back to such an incredible movie that’s full of power and meaning, and that meaning holds the test of time: staying true to yourself, being who you are, and teaching how to be fearless.”
      “Loyal Brave True”, which integrated classic Chinese instruments to orchestral melodies, has Jamie Hartman, Harry Gregson-Williams, Rosi Golan and Billy Crabtree as its writers. Hartman has also served as the soundtrack’s producer, while the upcoming movie’s director Niki Caro helmed its music video which is scheduled for release later in March.

      The song hears Christina belting his powerful vocal in the chorus which dealt with the titular character’s self-doubt. “Should I ask myself in the water what a warrior would do?/ Tell me underneath my armor, am I loyal, brave, and true?” she croons. “Losing is easy/ Winning takes bravery/ I am a tiger’s fool/ Out in the open/ No one to save me/ The kindest of whispers are cruel.”
      Aside from “Loyal Brave True”, Aguilera has recorded a new version of “Reflection” for the new movie that will come out in theaters on March 27. Through her social media account, she shared with her followers, “#Mulan and #Reflection have been such a special part of my life and this film is a beautiful continuation of this legacy.” She added, “And the #LoyalBraveTrue single is out now! Hope you love it as much as I do.”

      On why Aguilera was once again chosen for the soundtracks, Walt Disney Studios president of music and soundtracks Mitchell Leib explained, “Her original performance of ‘Reflection’ from the animated film when she was a then 16-year-old unknown holds its appropriate place in the history of music and was a launch pad for her unparalleled career that would follow. … I think these songs will touch today’s moviegoers in that powerful way we saw 22 years ago.”
