American singer and songwriter Christina Aguilera has released her new single, “Somos Nada”. It follows the recent release of “Pa Mis Muchachas” which features Nathy Peluso.
Christina Aguilera spun a late-’90s breakthrough into an evolving and genre-hopping career that focused on uplifting ballads and sexually liberated anthems delivered with her iconic voice.
A leader in the parade of Mickey Mouse Club veterans who stormed pop music at the turn of the millennium, Christina Aguilera was the brassy diva of the bunch — the Rolling Stones to Britney Spears’ Beatles, as it were.
Initially, it was difficult to see Christina outside of the prism of Britney, whose 1999 success launched the new millennium’s teen pop boom, but Christina’s big hits of 1999 (“Genie in a Bottle,” “What a Girl Wants,” “Come on Over”) more than held their own with “…Baby One More Time,” while revealing a vocalist with considerably more power and range than her erstwhile rival.
Soon, Aguilera distanced herself from the rest of the pack, beginning with her carnal sophomore set, Stripped, a heavy R&B album from 2002 that found its greatest success with the ballad “Beautiful.”
In 2016, she released “Change” — a charity single for the families of the victims of a tragic shooting in an Orlando nightclub — and sang “Telepathy” for Baz Luhrmann’s Netflix series The Get Down.
In 2018, Aguilera returned with her eighth album, Liberation, which included the single “Accelerate” featuring 2 Chainz, Ty Dolla $ign, and production by Kanye West. The album peaked at number six on the Billboard 200. Also included on the album was the single “Fall in Line” featuring Demi Lovato.
With the 2020 release of Disney’s live-action version of Mulan, Aguilera revisited the franchise that helped break her career over two decades earlier. In addition to singing the new song “Loyal Brave True” for the film, she released an updated version of “Reflection,” which she first sang back in 1998 for the animated verison of the movie.
