Singer delivered a medley of hits before accepting the inaugural Music Icon award

Christina Aguilera delivered a powerful performance of career-spanning hits, including a rock rendition of her debut single “Genie in a Bottle,” at the 2021 People’s Choice Awards.

The Grammy Award-winning singer also performed snippets of hits from her 2002 album Stripped including “Dirrty,” “Beautiful,” “Fighter” and “Can’t Hold Us Down,” as well as her most recent single “Somos Nada” from her forthcoming Spanish-language LP.

Following her set, Aguilera received the first-ever Music Icon award from her “Pa Mis Muchachas” collaborator Becky G.

During her acceptance speech, the Grammy Award-winning singer said, “I have always strived for my music to communicate messages of empowerment, whether it’s speaking my own truths or giving voice to those unable to do so on their own. My artistry has always been for the fighters in this world, for those who face adversity, for those wanting to evoke change, my music is for you.”

According to Aguilera, her first Spanish-language since 2000’s Mi Reflejo will be released in three chapters.

Dave East and Harry Fraud are preparing to release their new album, Price Of Pain, which is shaping up to be one of the year’s strongest joint projects. The record features an impressive lineup of guest artists across its tracklist, including Benny The Butcher on the new song "Everything Is Up." The single once again highlights the natural chemistry Dave East and Harry Fraud have developed through their many collaborations. They continue to work seamlessly together, delivering sharp production and confident verses throughout the track. Benny also adds a powerful guest performance that fits perfectly with the sound East and Fraud have created.
