Statistically, ‘Beautiful’ stands as one of Christina Aguilera‘s biggest hits.
It’s little wonder, then, why the potent vocalist has re-enlisted its writer, Linda Perry, for her upcoming eighth studio album.
Details below…
The news came via Aguilera herself at the Verizon Hopeline event this week.
Speaking on her current ventures, she told Wonderwall:
“I’m mainly focused on my music right now and trying to finish [the album] up and proceeding to work and accumulate with different producers and so far it’s going amazing. I’m just making sure I have time to let things simmer and cook in the pot so that the outcome is really the best that it can be.”
She went on to dish on Perry’s involvement:
“I’m working with some new producers that I haven’t before. And I’m reuniting with some old producers that I have always had a long time connection with, including Linda Perry who I did ‘Beautiful’ with. We have such a beautiful chemistry and connection.”
As for what can expect from the LP (the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Lotus’), Xtina was coy but added:
“[I can’t say anything] specific but, greatness in store! I wish I could say a little bit more but I kind of really love the element of surprise.”
Well come through Christina!
Perry, who joins a list of producers which includes the likes of Da Internz and Pharrell, is the name which gets us most excited.
For, beyond ‘Beautiful,’ she’s also responsible for stellar cuts from Xtina’s discography such as ‘Hurt,’ ‘Lift Me Up,’ and ‘Candyman.’
Thus far, the LP is shaping up to be an eclectic affair. We just hope Christina is ready to serve it up come her return to The Voice next Spring. Because, it’s one thing taking time to create a cohesive body of work, but it’s another to make sure one properly uses the platforms available to promote it when the time arrives.
In any case, exciting development!
Adele killed bey and taylor, rihanna and xtina are next, an album full of songs similar to “lift me up” and “I am” might save her, but she doesn’t promote so the era is over before it even started.
Excuse me? Adele can never kill BEYONCE
Too late sis.
I like Adele but Beyonce slays her in every way.. Smh don’t be messy.
21 outsold Beyonce’s entire discography. 19 outsold Ciara’s.
Bye troll Adele loves king Bey.
Doesn’t take away from the fact that she slays her
If you did not mention Taylor I would say true that
Who?????
Lmao, now there’s a Adele stan???
I’ve seen it all on TGJ
This just gave me even more life!!!
Evena feature with a resurrated mj won’t give this p** a hit .She is done ! The sty is calling ,roll along sowtina .
No one uses her anymore.. A shakira T
I’m excited, but if she lets another potentially successful era fall through the cracks bc she’s too lazy to actually promote her work, she needs to retire.
Always clinging to Linda’s cl1t.
We don’t know ha and so are the charts.
Lover her, bionic was my sh*t come thru Xtina
Yes, bish, just do it!
Rihanna is the 13th Greatest Hot 100 Artist Of All Time in just 10 years!!! #GreatestOfAllTime http://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-hot-100-artists

That’s just it “hot 100” it says nothing but GREATEST ARTIST of all time
It’s in the headline of the article babe. Nicki is not on the list BTW ????????????. Seethe
obviously referring to impact on the singles chart and not overall artistry I mean if you believe that Rihanna deserves to be placed higher than Diana Ross,Prince,The supremes Rod Stewart and Madonna higher than Elvis Presley,Elton John and Mj then you need to re evaluate your life
And Nicki is not on the list nor is she a respected rapper. She’s not an album seller or hit maker or ticket seller or a seller of any kind. If you think she’s the Queen of Rap then you need to re-evaluate your life. ???? ????
YASSSSSSS I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEW XTINA MUSIC I LOVE THIS WO N AN SHE’S FAWKING AMAZING!

YAAASSS!!!! Her and Linda were amazing together on Stripped and Back To Basics! Now if she can work with Sia again, this actually could be amazing! A fusion of Stripped-Back To Basics-Bionic would give me life! It sounds like she’s really putting in labor on this album, and I really need her to cause Lotus left me thirsty. Come Thru Xtina!
