Fans hoping to get a new Christina Aguilera album in 2011 are going to be sorely disappointed. Despite renewed popularity from her stint on ‘The Voice’, the struggling singer isn’t set to release new material until 2012.

Aguilera revealed to RTL that the record will not hit stores until spring or summer of next year. She confirmed that it will be an “introspective” album that will reflect the many personal and professional problems that she endured since the horrible showing of her ‘Bionic’ album in 2010.

Clearly Aguilera has weighed the cost of releasing a new LP this year while many of her chart competitors are active. With Beyonce, Britney Spears, Adele and her nemesis Lady GaGa all promoting their current albums, there is frankly no room for her to forge a comeback, especially following the disastrous performance of her last project.

Moreover, since ‘The Voice’ is on break and will not return until winter of 2011, Aguilera will lack the added push that the show will definitely provide her next project. Regardless, I am eager to hear what she has to offer on this album. As long as she is not pumping her child-bearing crotch on my screen or wailing like a burn victim then I will be pleased.
