I wonder if she seemingly does more promo for The Voice (than her own albums) because NBC foots the bill for Voice promotion whereas RCA probably can't be bothered to do the same for X's album releases. Just a thought...?

That would partially explain why Lotus was barely promoted. But it does make sense considering RCA hasn't really considered her a priority for several years.
AGUILERA: It’s still a big creative process for me. I’m not one that just throws music out there to keep it coming, and all that. ()I believe in the craft, and the time it takes to really nurture something and put a lot of effort into the details. So, I wrote a lot during my pregnancy last year, when I was just living and experiencing and absorbing everything around me. That’s definitely going to show up on the album. There’s always going to be soul in my music because that’s just naturally where I am inspired. But I’m very interested in a song that Pharrell has, that we won’t get into, but it’s a very, very cool song. I’m just glad to be working on things that excite me and are not forced. It’s all a work in progress.
Christina, are there any problems that you have to face and overcome with your own voice that you could share with other singers?
AGUILERA: Every one of us has our own style. We all battle allergies, and we have good days and bad days, especially while being on tour. You have to get rest and take care of yourself. I get massages. Don’t be afraid to treat yourself. There are certain throat drops and throat sprays that do help. Honestly, I wish I had some big, gigantic secret for you. It’s really basic. It’s honey and tea.
What do you do to make sure all of your beautiful riffs are in key?
AGUILERA: It’s definitely warming up your instrument and taking the time to really get the sleep you need. Having two kids, sometimes you’re just not going to get the sleep. Sometimes you’re on the road and there’s jet lag. You’ve got to roll with the punches, which is also what this show is really good for. It helps kids and adults realize that it’s really hard to sound awesome on TV sometimes because the sound is more condensed and closed off. Every little imperfection is going to be heard, which is crazy, but it is what it is. You’re a performer, and not everything is going to go perfect. I do have a vocal warm-up that’s about 20 to 30 minutes, going through the scales and warming up your voice. It’s important.

Nashville bound with the amazing @deemosswood to watch @xtina kill it on her first day shooting @Nashville_ABC. Is this real life? #LuckyMe
This is the most Christina slayage we've had since 2010 with the constant interviews, press, performances, news, accolades. I just can't 2013 was amazing also, but it was more of a gradual slayage, but this year has been just WOW so far with the everyday basis of the epicness she's pulling
