IN HER NEW ERA
In Christina’s Paper interview, she also opened up about her current outlook on life after being “narcissistic” in her early career.
“I’m into finding my own joy now, I don’t put my joy in the hands of other people,” she explained.
Christina said that while she has been traveling and performing a lot recently, she is looking forward to putting out new music.
“Music is dying to come out of me. At this point, there is a new me that has been growing and building, and it is so ready to emerge,” she revealed.
“It’s going to take a little longer than I wanted it to, but it is what it is.”
Christina last released her Spanish album Liberation, which earned her a Latin Grammy, in 2022.
She also said that being a mom is the most important thing to her, and finding the balance between her work and personal life is the key.
Christina shares her son Max Liron, 16, with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman, and her daughter, Summer Rain, 10, with her fiancé Matt Rutler.
“Being a mom is super important to me, my private life, finding things outside of the stage that truly bring me inner joy. You have to have a balance of both,” the singer explained.
“I would not be happy if I didn’t have the stage and my creativity and my music to express myself, but also having my personal time to do yoga and be in my own backyard and have time to be a kid or be with my kids is so vitally important to me.”
Christina noted that she has “so many lyrics” and that she’s “growing at a very fast rate,” adding that she “won’t go places that will disrupt her happiness, peace, and joy.”
“Releasing all of it into an album is going to be a part of that joy and peace that I get,” she told the outlet.
“It’s just going to take a little bit longer than I wanted it to, but it’s coming.
“I believe that it will be the most authentic work I’ve ever done.”
