Earlier today we learned that the new season of The Voice will be the last for Christina Aguilera as judge because she is planning to refocus her attention on her own music career. Right now, we learn a bit more about Xtina‘s upcoming new single and album. As you may recall, the demo version of Xtina‘s new single Your Body leaked online last month but it will be released officially on Friday. Click below to get your first look at the single coverart. Additionally, by clicking below, you’ll learn the title of Xtina‘s new album … and when it will be released.
Christina Aguilera had some big news for her fans on Wednesday (September 12). When she took to Twitter to answer her fans’ burning questions about her next album, she revealed that Lotus will be released in November. “Album title: Lotus. Representing an unbreakable flower that survives under the hardest conditions and still thrives,” she wrote, adding, “There will be a ‘Lotus’ intro to set the tone for the whole record. Conceptually I didn’t target one particular sound/genre. Self expression and freedom [are album themes]. The album represents a rebirth for me.” For fans who didn’t get to listen to the album’s lead single, “Your Body,” when it leaked last month, they will officially get to hear it when it drops on Friday, ahead of a sneak peek of the video, set to premiere during “The Voice” on Monday. Shot in August, it was directed by Melina Matsoukas (who also directed Rihanna’s VMA-winning “We Found Love”) and she described it as “playful, tongue & cheek.” While she didn’t confirm when the full video will drop, she revealed the single’s artwork, where she appears nude with a blush-colored sheer piece of fabric covering her. And while “Your Body” is a Max Martin-produced club banger, she confirmed that there will be some slower jams on there as well. She wrote, “There are some beautiful personal ballads on this album. I wouldn’t do a record without them.”
Now, I swear I’m not trying to be a hater … believe me or not … but I am not at all impressed by the album title Lotus and I’m really not impressed by this single coverart for Your Body. I don’t understand why but I find that I do not respond well to a majority of Xtina photos. There are rare times when I really love Xtina‘s photos but this is not one of them. This photo is not flattering at all. Something about the way her hair is covering her chest. It’s just …. no. For me, Lotus is kinda meh … but album titles have no real impact on my enjoyment of GOOD albums. I never liked the album title Femme Fatale but I did love every song on that album. Here’s hoping the songs on Lotus will be great. I dig Your Body (the song, not the coverart) so … thus far, I’m on board with Xtina‘s new music. What do y’all think of this news. Do you like the title Lotus? Do you like this coverart for Your Body?

The cover are reminds me too much of when L.Lo was trying to be Marilyn Monroe.
i like the single art, reminds me of ‘stripped’ (and her body looks bangin!) but i totally get what you mean about the hair..it doesnt have a natural fall to it & theres just too much fake hair. a part of me thinks it might have looked better if her hair was a little darker.
as for the title…i dont hold much to album titles. half the time, they dont have anything to do with the album itself…so i’ll hold judgement for when the album actually comes out.
Her body looks banging and amazingly fit. Wrapped up in the blush cloth, she has that Indian lotus feeling, but her hair just ruins it for me.
You’re effing hilarous Trent! Totes agree about this look (and the song aint that great either). Anyways, cheers to XFactor tonight!
I think the concept for the photo was good, but I feel like her face should have been more of the focus. The way her face is angled so far back, it makes her face look very short and distorted. There is a lot more hair and hip than face. I don’t think she looks awful though.
Lotus, @Trent… look it up *sipping my Madonna tea*
She looks great!
To me it come off more like an ad for a perfume. The other thing that is disappointing is that you can’t really tell its her. It could be any curvy blond
HATE the album cover, but the song sounds like it’ll be promising(judging from previously leaked demo). I’m here for this…I am looking forward to Friday. :)
its only the single art work, not the cover for the album.
