Christina Aguilera’s latest album is a celebration of her heritage \u2015 in more ways than one. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Unveiled this spring, \u201cAguilera\u201d is the five-time Grammy winner’s second Spanish-language album following 2000’s \u201cMi Reflejo.\u201d Though the 12-song set’s title seems almost like a no-brainer, the pop star said in an interview timed to Billboard Latin Music Week that it was partially inspired by her early days in the music business, when record executives repeatedly suggested she drop her surname. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI’m proud to be an Aguilera,\u201d she explained to HOLA! magazine. \u201cSomething that I really embody and understand is that, you know, this is a name that has been tried to be taken away from me on numerous occasions coming up in this business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
At first, Aguilera wasn’t too fazed by the suggestion, acknowledging that her surname has \u201cbeen butchered a lot\u201d as it’s \u201cnot the easiest name for everyone to pronounce.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
She also didn’t identify any specific executives who’d pushed for the change, and noted that she’d prefer to keep the \u201cbad names that I could have been\u201d to herself. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
