Christina Aguilera Reimagines Select Tracks From Her Debut Album as It Marks 25 Years

It's been 25 years since pop icon Christina Aguilera released her eponymous debut album. A huge milestone, Xtina is not letting it pass without a special celebration. So, the 43-year-old singer and songwriter is releasing a live studio re-imagining of select tracks from her 1999 debut album for an episode of Spotify Anniversaries on September 23. 

In her announcement of this 25th anniversary project and live album, she captioned, "Bringing together past and present…," hinting at a major nostalgia and proving that music can be timeless. 

This project will feature collaborations with "Espresso" hitmaker Sabrina Carpenter and rapper/singer Machine Gun Kelly.

On Instagram, Christina shared a clip with Sabrina, where they're sitting on a couch with a band setup behind them. Sabrina lip-syncs to an audio of Kylie Jenner talking about her mom Kris and how she's her mom's favorite. 

"I'm obsessed with my mom," Sabrina begins to lip-sync. She then pans the camera to Christina as someone in the background audio asks, "So you're saying you're her favorite?" 

"That's exactly what I'm saying," Sabrina continues to mouth the words of Kylie. The audio continues, "I'm her favorite. We actually have a relationship like she has no other kids. Yeah," as Christina and Sabrina cozy up to each other.  

The Christina Aguilera debut studio album was released on August 24, 1999. The 12-track Standard Edition features the following songs: "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants," "I Turn to You," "So Emotional," "Come on Over (All I Want Is You)," "Reflection," "Love for All Seasons," "Somebody's Somebody," "When You Put Your Hands on Me," "Blessed," "Love Will Find a Way," and "Obvious."

The album debuted on number one on the US Billboard 200 and gave Christina many of her career breakthroughs such as her Best New Artist award at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2000.
