CHRISTINA AGUILERA SPEAKS ON NEW ALBUM & DIVORCE


In a recent interview pop singer Christina Aguilera opens up about her publicized divorce from her husband, she speaks about her new studio project that she has began working on Aguilera goes into details about exactly the message she wants to portray with the new record.

Read the full story below.

“The last year has probably, with the divorce and considering everything that’s gone on, has humbled me a little bit,” she says with a laugh.

Aguilera says The Voice represents a new beginning for her in every sense. The concept of the show intrigued her and took her back to why she started singing. “Being in this business for quite a few years now, sometimes you do take things for granted. I’ve had my ups and I’ve had my downs. You have to take the good with the bad in this business. It gets me back to the root of why I got into this business, and that’s real, raw talent,” says Aguilera, 30.

The show films in Los Angeles and has allowed Aguilera to stay near her son, Max, 3, and record her new album. The next release, Aguilera says, will focus on her personal evolution.

“For this one, I really want to make a real rooted, heartfelt record. After someone goes through the things that I have, regarding a divorce, there’s a lot of emotions that are stirred,” she says.

Aguilera, whose towering talent has never been questioned, says she keeps right on going, even when things get tough.

“I prove to myself that I’m stronger than just to let things take over me, and take over my head space,” Aguilera says. “I’m very honest with myself in seeing if there are things that I need to change about my life, or if there are things I need to do stepping forward.

“That’s in part why I got the divorce. It’s a new beginning for me. It’s all positivity for me. I’ve been through some hard things, but I’m on the up and up. “

The advice she would most want to impart to the contestants she’s coaching on her team? To always follow your gut and focus on why you’re making music. It’s not about the freebies or the fame.

“There’s so much in the media and in the press, opportunities to get swayed. That’s why I stay so far away from reading anything about myself.

“I love to sing. It’s what moves me and inspires me. To be able to do that is a gift.”
