The Millennial generation grew up with Christina Aguilera’s music. That is probably one of the reasons she is loved by the global public with the nickname Voice of the Generation . Entering the entertainment industry in 1993 with Mickey Mouse Club, Christina’s talent and high-pitched voice were quickly recognized.
In 1999, she released her debut album Christina Aguilera . At that time, Christina Aguilera had global coverage with the hits Genie in the Bottle , What a Girl Wants , Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You). She is the one who laid the foundation and created the teen pop trend, stirring up the world music industry in the 1990s and 2000s.
The album Christina Aguilera earned her the Best New Artist award at the Grammys in 2000. The following albums Stripped (2002) and Back to Basics (2006) were both globally successful. Looking back on her artistic path, Christina Aguilera confided: “What do I miss most? Certainly the relationship with Disney, which laid the foundation for my career. Next were days immersed in the studio with many talented artists. Finally, there’s the performance! Standing on stage, in front of a sea of people filled with energy, helps me grow more and more.”
Almighty artist
Christina Aguilera is the perfect balance between talent and looks. After music and a series of awards, she became a coach on The Voice (2011–2016). Furthermore, Xtina also tried her hand at cinema through the works Burlesque (2010) and Nashville (2015).
That’s still not enough for Christina’s talent. She performed in The Xperience at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas. Multi-talented and multi-talented, vocalist Genie in the Bottle is a rare star known as a “triple threat entertainer” (an artist who works well in all three fields of music – cinema – dance).
Regarding her film career, she promised: “In the future, perhaps I will focus more on cinema. At that time, I will cooperate with the director and the script that makes me sympathetic and allows me to have fun in building the character.”
Return to Latin music
Earlier this year, Christina Aguilera released the Spanish extended play (EP) La Fuerza with 6 songs. In the final track, La Reina , her powerful voice rings out an emotional declaration: “Even if you’re an emperor, you still need a queen.”
“Recently, I rediscovered my Latin roots and delved deeper into this style of music,” said the music diva. Call it rediscovery, because this is the second Latin album in Christina’s career. In 2000, when she was at her peak, the powerful vocalist released Mi Reflejo, an album that topped Billboard Top Latin Albums for 19 consecutive weeks.
“I can clearly say that my music today is less influenced by external circumstances. They are art created from a creative soul.” La Fuerza means “strength”. “ La Fuerza is a mirror of my current life, filled with strength, pride, feminism and gratitude for life . ”
Christina Aguilera: Fashion icon
Along with music, the female singer’s style also changes. If in the Pop era, Xtina’s goddess-like blonde hair was iconic, then in this Latin era, she chose fiery red hair.
“Fashion and Beauty is a field I have never been bored with. I like to experiment with new styles, like the statements that those styles bring. Fashion is one of the great ways for me to express myself and my creative achievements,” Christina Aguilera shared with Harper’s Bazaar.
As an all-round artist and tireless artist for the past three decades, what is Christina Aguilera’s advice for young artists?
“Everyone has inner strength that makes them unique. Determine early on who you are and what you want to seek in life. Be steadfast in your beliefs and the type of art you want to create. Finally, always be kind to yourself and those who care about you!”
