Christina Aguilera poses naked for her new album Lotus

Christina Aguilera proved she still has plenty of naked ambition as unveiled the cover for her new album, Lotus.

Christina Aguilera, 31, revealed the new art work through her Twitter account on Friday.

The former Disney star puts her bare curves on show as she emerges from a Lotus flower, in keeping with the album title.

With her hair covering her chest and ethereal pose, the star seems to have taken inspiration from Botticelli’s famous 1486 Renaissance painting, The Birth of Venus.

Discussing the album, Christina Aguilera revealed on Twitter: “Conceptually I didn’t target one particular sound/genre. I made music that felt good about the album.”

Addressing the album title, the singer said in the September Twitter chat that it represented strength.

“[It] represents an unbreakable flower that survives under the hardest conditions and still thrives,” she wrote.

As previously reported, Christina Aguilera will be taking next season of The Voice off to focus on her music career.

Discussing the break Christina Aguilera told E! Online: “In order to be the best coach I can be on that show it’s a good idea to go out and be able to have the experience as an artist.”

She added: “Create new experiences for myself so that I can then come back to the show and share that much more.”

Christina Aguilera said that The Voice’s executive producer Mark Burnett “understands that we’re artists first”, saying: “In order to remain great coaches and to stay relevant, we have to go out and we have to still tour, see our fans one-on-one.”

“I have to feel creatively fulfilled in order for me to then do my job as a coach and be on that show.”

Christina Aguilera also described her break from The Voice as bittersweet, adding that she will miss fellow coach Adam Levine despite their alleged feud last season.

“It’s like we have definitely become brother and sister,” she said.

“We goof around and play around. I’m going to miss it.”

Lotus will be released November 19.
