Christina Aguilera has been talking about various things in a new interview with Newsweek. On her new album, 'Back To Basics', she says she's toned down the pretty aggressive sexual image she's projected previously. "The sexuality coming forward on this record is more softened. It's more pin-up, tongue-in-cheek. It's playful. People take sex far too seriously," she says.
She added, however, that she's proud of earlier outing 'Stripped', because it made a statement and elicited decided responses, saying: "If you liked it, you wanted to root for me - 'Look, she's empowered.' If not, well, you'd stick all those labels on me."
On the much reported alleged feud between her and Britney Spears, Aguilera claims that there never was one, saying: "We were like best friends, but the media saw a navel and blond hair and had to create some drama."
