High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lotus is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Christina Aguilera, released on November 9, 2012 by RCA Records. After the low sales figures of her sixth studio album Bionic (2010), Aguilera was inspired by events in her life, including appearing on The Voice, and a divorce, which she describes as a rebirth to her. Aguilera recorded the album at her home studio, with new collaborators such as the known Alex da Kid, Max Martin, Lucas Secon, and new producers such as Mike Del Rio, Jamie Hartman, Aeon Manahan, Chris Braide, Supa Dups and Jason Gilbert. The album contains two duets with Aguilera`s co-stars on the reality talent show The Voice, Cee Lo Green (on "Make the World Move") and Blake Shelton (on "Just a Fool").
