She's comparing her upcoming album to a "rebirth."

With more than a decade in the music business behind her, the album will be a culmination of "everything I've experienced up until this point," the 31-year-old pop star says, including divorce.

Aguilera and Jordan Bratman were married for five years before they split in 2010. They have a 4-year-old son, Max.

The singer says the album will be "superexpressive" and "supervulnerable" but also fun.

The album doesn't have a release date, and the title hasn't been announced. The singer's last studio album received mixed reviews from critics and failed to produce a hit single.

Aguilera, a coach on NBC's singing contest, "The Voice," will perform the first single, "Your Body," on the show on Sept. 17. She shot a video for the single over the weekend. See the photos here.
