Speaking to Billboard, Aguilera said: “To me, there’s nothing like an amazing hip-hop beat. At the end of the day, I am a soul singer. When you strip back the words ‘pop star’ and the many things that I’ve done, singing soulfully is where my core, my root and my heart really is. And as you can see, it’s what I’m inspired by.”
Liberation is set to drop on 15th June via RCA Records.
