NBC announced Tuesday morning that Christina Aguilera will be returning to The Voice for season 8.

Aguilera will replace Gwen Stefani. She’ll join newcomer Pharrell Williams and original Voice judges Adam Levine and Blake Shelton as judges when the show premieres in early 2015.

“We are excited to welcome Christina back to her red chair and can’t wait to see how she mixes things up among Adam, Blake and Pharrell, in what will be an incredibly competitive competition” said Paul Telegdy, President of Alternative and Late Night Programming, in a press release. “These four talented artists are at the top of their game as musicians and as coaches. The mentoring is sure to be intense and the stakes will be high.”

Aguilera last appeared on The Voice’s fifth cycle which aired this time last year. Has it only been a year?
