Christina Aguilera Claims New Album ‘Lotus’ Is Inspired By ‘The Voice’ Contestants

Christina Aguilera describes her forthcoming album, "Lotus" as a "Rebirth" - which is fitting since the singer revealed to MTV News that much of her mojo came from the many talented singers to have graced the stage of her popular TV show, "The Voice."

"The term 'lotus' means to me the unbreakable flower," she said. "No matter the harshest of weather conditions, or its surroundings, it still survives and it thrives throughout time."

"At this part of my life, I feel that I've reached a place where I'm completely embracing everything about who I am," Aguilera explained.

Mentoring an amalgamation of unique talents has not only inspired the singer but has also breathed new life into her music. I "see through the eyes of aspiring artists at the beginning of their journey, to be part of their journey, to see the hunger in their eyes and to sort of regain some of that back for myself," she shared.

Aguilera - who first appeared on the music scene as a pop tart with saccharine lyrics back in 1999  has evolved significantly --  but seems to be reverting back to her roots for season three of the show -- claiming to have a "pop oriented team."

"This year in particular, season three, I have a very pop-oriented team," she said. "And they come to me and they're like, 'You know, I remember being in my room trying to dissect and learn all of the little ad libs and your technique and the runs and things like that, hitting your notes.' It inspired me also to want to give more of myself vocally on this record to let the next generation of great singers evolve and be inspired once again to dissect and learn certain lyrics and things."

She's hoping to reach out to loyal fans as well as acquire an entire new breed of followers.

"I wanted to make a record that speaks to those fans who grew up listening to my music and yet reintroduce new fans ... watching me on 'The Voice' at 6 years old who don't know about my first record," she said.

Aguilera is currently taking a hiatus from "The voice" to focus on "Lotus," which is poised to hit music shelves this upcoming November. Fellow judge, Cee Lo, has likewise decided to focus on other projects, however, singers Shakira and Usher, will fill their seats for the show's forthcoming season. The duo will reprise their judging duties for season five.
