While she maybe playing assistant on Billboard’s current #1 song ‘Moves Like Jagger’, it appears Christina Aguilera is ready to move back into the spotlight on her own. Aside from scoring a second season on top-rated talent show ‘The Voice’, the ‘I Turn To You’ belter is turning up the heat on her yet-titled, forthcoming project – the successor to 2010’s ‘Bionic’.
Speaking with Hello! magazine, the 30-year-old songstress spoke on a number of topics including her new album and if fans can soon expect another foray into film. Find out her thoughts after the jump:
On new album:
“I’m in the studio now working on my next album and I’m writing so much. I’ve been inspired by a lot over the past year, the experiences I’ve had, the good, the bad, the highs, the lows – it will all be apparent in the lyrics. The mood of the album will be very introspective, heartfelt and deep rooted.”
On new movie roles:
“I’m always reading scripts. ‘Burlesque’ was something that came to my door that I was truly inspired to do. It was the right time and place for me to dive into that world I’ve always been inspired by. But I’m not going to do back-to-back movies just to do them. Music is always my first love and where my time and attention will remain. Film is something that will be on my mind and I am looking for the next project.”

While ‘Burlesque’ was not a complete bomb at theatres, the mixed reception was indication that maybe movies aren’t Christina’s lane. Unfortunately, so many other music stars and starlets don’t take the same hint. Be that as it may, here’s hoping the ‘Bionic’ follow-up boasts better material and sees the songstress some solo chart success. With seeming reignited interest, given the response to ‘Jagger’, maybe a buzz single should be thrown out to test the waters.
The success of such would definitely yield proof of her existent star power and combat the claims of those who feel her contribution to ‘Jagger’ wasn’t partly what fueled its success.
