Christina Aguilera stunned her dedicated fans (affectionately called #Fighters) when she took to press earlier this month to announce she would be toasting the 25th anniversary of her eponymous debut album with a live remake of the nearly Diamond-selling project.
Presented by Spotify, the specialty project was released Monday (September 23).
And while updated takes on the LP’s beloved hits like ‘Genie In a Bottle,’ ‘I Turn To You,’ and ‘Come On Over’ sent listeners into a frenzy, it’s the reimagined version of ‘What a Girl Wants’ featuring current music “it girl” Sabrina Carpenter that’s really rubbing listeners the right way.
The unexpected union not only sees the two Pop divas trade verses on the classic cut while being backed by powerhouse, Gospel choir-inspired singers, but it also sees Xtina remind why she is revered as one of the greatest vocalists of her generation.
Having lost none of her touch over the last decade-and-a-half, look inside to see Aguilera soar alongside Sabrina.
Christina and Sabrina sound so good, but WOW, Christina is truly the Professor. Her voice is anointed.
