The singer’s career-spanning documentary film was first detailed in 2022. Now, she shares that opening up for the camera has also influenced her work in the studio
Three years ago, Christina Aguilera was revealed to be the subject of an upcoming, career-spanning documentary to be produced by Time Studios and Roc Nation. The release will span her past and present as she reflects on the teen stardom that made her an international icon, and the life changes that came with becoming a mother and entering a new phase of her career. Opening up for the camera, it turns out, has also influenced her work in the studio.
“It’s going to be a really personal project coming up because it’ll tie in with a very personal documentary that we’ve been filming for the last few years,” Aguilera shared on The Jennifer Hudson Show. The singer’s most recent full-length LP, Aguilera, released in 2022, was her first album performed entirely in Spanish. It followed 2018’s Liberation.
“I do take a minute, but it’s to really be thoughtful with what I put out,” Aguilera said about taking time between projects. “I’m not someone that’s just like, ‘Oh, let me just keep pumping it out.” Integrity matters to me. I’m a message girl and I really like to absorb what’s happening in the world, things that are really moving me and affecting people, too. I really put thought into it.”
Her voice gets better with time, too, she thinks. Last year, Aguilera told Rolling Stone, “I much prefer my voice now, because it has experience, which is what I loved about all the singers that I grew up loving and wanting to emulate. It’s the emotional soaring and singing over the notes or the grain and the grit that goes into a rasp that only comes from experience. You can’t force it or buy it. It just feels lived in. Linda Perry got me over being a perfectionist vocalist in a way. The imperfections become the perfections because it’s where the emotion lies.”
In 2022, director Ting Poo, who will helm the Xtina doc, shared, “Christina Aguilera is one of the most iconic artists of our time, whose music has inspired millions of people around the world. I am truly honored to tell the story of the person behind the music because I know it will equally inspire.”
