Christina Aguilera previewed her upcoming album, Lotus, in a new ballad entitled “Blank Page.”
“Blank Page” – the second song we’ve heard off Xtina’s upcoming album – tones down the sex and shows the songstress’ vulnerable side. The 31-year-old singer and coach on The Voice released the album’s lead single, “Your Body” in September.
“Draw me a smile and save me tonight/ I am a blank page waiting for you to bring me to life/ Paint me a heart/ let me be your art/ I am a blank page waiting for life to start,” Xtina sings in the chorus of the new song co-written by Sia.
The duo previously collaborated on “You Lost Me” from Aguilera’s last album, Bionic.
Listen to the new ballad below.
Aguilera appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon Friday to promote her fifth English-language album, Lotus, due Nov. 13. Check out her performance of “Your Body” with Fallon and the Roots playing office supply instruments.
Lotus, named after “an unbreakable flower that survives under the hardest conditions and still thrives,” will feature duets with Xtina’s The Voice colleagues Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton on “Make The World Move” and “Just A Fool,” according to the full track list for the standard and deluxe editions of the album.
Her previous album, 2010’s Bionic, had a short stint at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and produced singles in “Not Myself Tonight” and “Woohoo” with Nicki Minaj.
As if the former Mouseketeer didn’t have enough to keep her busy with an upcoming album and TV show, she also lent her vocal talents for Pitbull’s new song, “Feel This Moment,” which samples the A-ha’s “Take On Me.”
Tune in Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this week to catch Xtina mentoring her team of five for the first live shows of the season on NBC’s The Voice.
