*Aguilera

Yeah that's what I wrote before. They can always release the physical album (CD, vinyl) exclusively via her website OR have a special edition on her CA store and release the standard edition of AGUILERA in Latin America/Spain/United States. Honestly, it's so simple.. I bet there's a plan to release it physically (I refuse to believe it won't be) but they're waiting for the hype/interviews and media attention from Latin Grammys + promo for the Latin American tour next year.

M wrote: ↑Mon Oct 10, 2022 8:41 am I am so happy she released a one song EP, Extrañe has so many flavours and different layers to it, that it feels like it's 5 songs in 1.. It's a long track too. Christina hit 2 birds with one stone. Very smart of her.

I also love that there's no physical release.. Our girl is keeping up with the times, and wants her grumpy old middle-aged fans to accept and adapt to streaming tracks, and stop nagging about a dead platform.

I still refuse to believe that the Rosalia song is shelved. They're probably waiting for the right timing (Latin Grammys?), it would have been completely random to release it as part of La Luz now. If they release it before Latin Grammys, will it still be considered as part of AGUILERA? Will the latin era extend until spring 2023 (assuming that the rumours for a Latin American tour in early 2023 are true)?

This source is as official as it gets and it clearly states thar La Luz is out.

So, basically, we have a standard 12-songs pop album with one intro and one duet version of the same song. It is what it is. At least the music is great

But Christy said she recorded too many songs to release as one album

Are you implying sis that Maria Aguilera will release a third Spanish album in 2023?

Wait what?? La Luz is just the 1 song and the spoken inteo?? Wheres the rest of it? I thought it was dropping today?

No, there was no official confirmation that there will be new music released today (she didn't post any teasers this week)

I’m so disappointed by this. She says herself that she recorded songs for 3 Albums combined. That’s the reason for the 3 EPs.

Liberation felt short: it had I don't need it anymore interlude (54 seconds), Searching for Maria (25 seconds), Dreamers (36 seconds,) so no AGUILERA won't be her shortest album.

Do you think? I find Libby longer. Anyways, I won’t deny I’m very much disappointed about these messy rollout and how this album is being handled. The music is beyond amazing. I needed Lloras por nada in my life to stream.

Yeah, I find Libby shorter because it has 3 interludes or whatever you call them + Liberation track which is not a song with vocals. My only issue with AGUILERA is Cuando having 2 versions no one asked for.

dita wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 12:13 pm I'm content with this. Anyway, how could any other song fit on La Luz after what she has released?

That's a good point, actually. That's why they need to confirm the album is completed and announce pre-orders for the physical release.

US time - Christina hasn't uploaded anything so don't expect new songs tomorrow.

Jamert wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 6:21 am I'm sad if that's all to be honest, I appreciate what we've got but we know:
- She was in the studio with Rauw Alejandro
- She probably has a Collab with Rosalia (plus in Shangay Spain Interview she teased it)
- She has a bolero written by Kenny Garcia
- She has a potential smash ready to be released with C Tangana (who is the most successful male artist in Spain)
- She has worked with Beatriz Luengo (who won a couple of Latin Grammys including SOTY last year for writing credits and has kept mentioning in interviews in Spain that she would be in X's album)
- Pablo López (Spanish piano ballad hitmaker) confirmed he wrote a ballad for her

Plus more stuff I'm probably forgetting

No shade to Aguilera since I love the album (as I explained in the Aguilera Vs Libby thread) but if that was it, whoever made the decision to release Te deseo lo mejor and 2 versions of Cuando and shelve Lloras por nada deserves bad things

Agreed, even though i like Te deseo, but the Cuando solo version was totally unnecessary.

I honestly don't think they're so stupid to shelve the songs recorded with big names - there is probably (and hopefully) a plan to release them as separate singles when she tours Latin America.

What if the Rauw Alejandro and Tangana songs are part of their new albums/projects and not AGUILERA??

MakeMeYours wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 8:20 pm So she met with La Rosalia for drinks only? She's super friends with Karol G and no collabs?

REALLY?

Is she super friends with Karol G though?

I do agree that it's a mess if her collab with Rosalia was sent to The Vault. Having said that, I don't think they would release the Rosalia song tomorrow on an EP that no one knows about. It will probably be released at a later date (just in time for the Grammys if Rosalia attends). Rosalia is a big name so they won't release the song without teasers to create hype.

Los40 better play the new music. How I wish the Spanish market was not snubbed by Christina's team... it would've been amazing if she was nominated at the Los40 awards..

XisGonGiveIt2U wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 3:38 pm Maybe the rest of the new songs will only be available on the physical album???? That would be smart. I know the physical album is not confirmed, but they can make 100,000 copies for it considering the Grammy nominations and it will be around the holidays. Here’s to hoping

Do you think the holidays will boost the sales of a latin album that is barely promoted on US TV though? Unless she does some promo...

it's for our Christina collection. CDs or vinyls, I don';t mind. I need the booklet and the cover art in physical format. Why are you surprised? We're hardcore fans.

supersonicrocket wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 9:16 am I hope regardless of whether we get more songs this Friday or not...

THEY DO A PHYSICAL RELEASE.
God! To have those photos and the graphics in physical form...

I pray and hope that the only reason they have not announced a physical release yet is because the album is not completed (if we believe that there are more songs coming this Friday)

Maybe they realized the other tracks didn't quite fit with the statement she wanted to make for La Luz... keeping it focused on the song about her past was a good choice.

So they'll hopefully drop the other songs as stand alone singles... not XtinaVIP finally being right about something lol

They could've removed the solo version of Cuando on 'La Tormenta' and instead add Lloras but anyway...

I see, so they confirmed that the project is officially completed with the release of La Luz.

I refuse to believe that there will be no physical release.

me after leaving Sony Music Latin's headquarters with information about La Luz, AGUILERA and the plans for the tour.

Lament wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 11:40 am We should harass SonyMusicLatin, Billboard, Xtina, RocNation and insiders like JeffBenjamin on Twitter to know more. If they clarified the AGUILERA album release mess they can do the same this time!

i think only JeffBenjamin can spill the tea - we should ask him about the physical release of the album.

I love the new song and video but couldn't she have specified that the EP was only one song? We were expecting more. We were expecting Lloras Por Na. We were expecting a ROSALIA collab. And now they're throwing that 2-track EP and we have no idea whether this is it or not.

Nah, we were expecting only the new song today and La Luz (the full EP) next Friday. We'll see. I still think the Rosalia collab will be released at one point and Lloras Por Na was removed from YT which is a sign it'll be released.

Still, everything should have been clarified by now. And I believe the EP would show "track 2", "track 3, etc. but greyed out if it was the case…

Not necessarily, they can always update the EP with more songs as they did with AGUILERA.

Maybe they wanted the focus to be on this new personal song before they release the remaining songs...or maybe not and there are no more songs.

Actually, I'm thinking that La Luz is very personal and meaningful so perhaps she wanted to keep it simple with the intro and the new song. Yes it makes no sense to have it as an EP but it's a chapter of AGUILERA.

Guess the collabs (Lloras track and Rosalia) will be released as separate singles/projects. it's fine, I ain't mad at all! Maybe it's a good decision after all. La Reina has fed us with quality and many music videos in the past year. Don't be ungrateful bitches

another vague statement. i am not an insider but i think they're keeping music for the LA tour

They can always release Lloras Por ‘Na and the Rosalia collab later, I don't think they will let them rot in the vault. Didn't Rosalia like her Luz post?

Maybe there are more songs next Friday, we don't know yet. If not, I'm sure they can release more songs (or at least a new single) next year if she's going to tour Latin America.
