You
all remember she started out as a mouseketeer first with the “Mickey Mouse
Club”. Just recently she’s a fellow New Yorker she is originally from Staten
Island, New Yorker born December 18, 1980. She was raised in Pennsylvania with
a single mother. She’s been doing this for over twenty years and she’s ready to
show the next generation of female and male pop singers this is how you stay on
top. Christina is back with a new album; “Liberation” is scheduled for this
summer and will be coming out on June 15, 2018. Already teaming up with the
woman with the voice of gold, Demi Lovato titled, “Fall in Line” which she will
perform this weekend on the Billboard Music Awards. I love the message this is
a song dedicated to young girls and teenagers not to settle and to speak their
minds. It’s important for young women to learn how to be comfortable within
themselves and dealing with all different challenging situations. The timing
could not be me more perfect with the #MeToo Movement, after the 2016 election
with the Hillary Clinton loss, women still fighting for equality. I noticed
women kind of lost their voices just a bit. They have fought for generations to
still see the glass ceiling break and to have equal treatment in every aspect
of life all around the world.
I
heard the song “Fall in Line” this week and I knew I would instantly love it
because you have two generations coming together a pop princess of the late
1990s and the new diva on the rise Demi Lovato is pretty incredible because
they both are so talented and have these powerhouse voices with huge range and
octaves. This song was perfect because you want women to realize that they can
address a multitude of issues and topics. It’s their time to step up to the
plate and to do something courageous. The song reflects the time and where we
would like the next generation the college graduates to take the future in the
workforce and in society.
Now
back to Christina she has never slacked on empowering women through her music
she’s had a multitude of hits since 1998-present time when she came out with
her first album, “Reflections” the titled song was featured in the Disney
movie, “Mulan”. She had a chance to showcase her vocal abilities with the
soundtrack. She has high soprano range probably about 5 octaves the same as
Mariah Carey that’s a hard range to get to when you can hit those kinds of
notes. I remember hearing Christina’s range in the song “Reflections”, “I turn
to you”, or “ What a girl wants” you hear her hit high C notes and her
soulfulness within the songs. I
remember as a kid going “Wait a minute did she just hit that note”. Your brain
goes “Where did this woman come from?” I even attempted a few times to hit her
notes myself when I was younger imitating her singing abilities. She not only can hit notes in a ballad
but also on pretty much any other song or genre. I love the song “Nobody wants
to be lonely” it’s a duet featuring Latin pop artist and entertainer, Ricky
Martin. Every time I hear the song I am like this one was really genius. Where are
these songwriters because you guys made some hits back in the late 90s-early
2000s where are they hiding cause we can use some more songs like that?
Now fast forward
to 20 years later you can see Christina is very well seasoned as an artist she
can collaborated and work in any genre of music alternative, rock, country,
pop, Latin, rap/hip hop, and R&B does anyone remember her collaborations
for the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, or when she wrote the song, “Fighter” those
are songs you see her develop as an artist. She even teamed up with hip-hop
mogul “Diddy” on one of my favorite songs, “Tell Me” from his album “Press
Play”. After I heard that song I am like she’s got me hooked I need to go
download, purchase, and buy all of her albums. I love when an artist is open to
being universal, they want to show their fans I am no one trick pony I can do a
multitude of things as a recording artist, a person, and entertainer. She can
stretch herself Christina also teamed up with fellow diva and living legend,
Cher on the 2010 movie, “Burlesque” everyone go see it cause her voice is
incredible on that song too. One collaboration I would love to see her team up
with all of her fellow Disney cast mates for a song this would be one for the
books. Music now needs to go back to empowering and creating more conscious and
awareness like it used to in the 60s and 70s not just making us dance and drop
it low. You also want to spread a message something that can give people a
chance to think about too. I am putting it out there make some calls get
Britney, Justin, NSYNC members, whoever is interested and willing I believe a
positive spin can help us heal our souls and hearts in some of our darkest
times right now in the twenty-first century. They need to empower this
generation and give them something that can change how they think of themselves
and conduct themselves too.
Now
Christina’s album will drop this summer she just released “Accelerate” this
spring of 2018 and this song is climbing the charts already so excited to see her
perform it because she’s about to blow away and reclaim the throne. She’s going
to show the Ariana Grandes, Demi Lovatos, and new artist Maren Morris, and
others “Ladies this is how I do it—let me show you”. Go get them
"X-tina" everyone look out for her new album drops June 15, 2018 feel
Liberated with Christina this summer.
