Christina Aguilera Makes Max LP

Christina Aguilera's son inspired her new album.

The 'Beautiful' singer - who will release her fourth LP, 'Bionic', in March - says her sound has changed dramatically since she became a mother to her 23-month-old son Max.

She told Marie Claire magazine: "I had a really hard time being light before. I'd get a little weird about it being too cliched. My first record was very cliched pop - what everyone else wanted.

"'Stripped' was inspired by a lot of pain and 'Back to Basics' still had some sort of relation to my past.

"My new one is just about the future - my son in my life, motivating me to want to play and have fun.

"Things that maybe I've been afraid to do in the past, to allow myself to go to a place of 'less singing'. I'm more vulnerable and stronger at the same time."

It seems motherhood is now having a different effect Christina - who is married to music producer Jordan Bratman - since she started recording the LP.

In October, the 29-year-old pop star claimed it would be "unfair" if she changed her career or style just because she had a family.

Asked how becoming a mom had affected her attitude to work, she said: "As far as motherhood affecting me creatively goes - like, I shouldn't be wearing that because I'm a mom - it hasn't. That wouldn't be fair to me.

Christina Aguilera's favorite place is bed, not that she gets to spend much time there nowadays. The mother of one-year-old Max Liron (whose Latin and Hebrew names are said to mean "our greatest song") has had to transform herself from a night owl into a morning person.

"Now I'm a mother, I am getting up earlier," said Aguilera, who is married to entrepreneur and music marketer Jordan Bratman.

"It's 6am every day but I’m a night owl regardless, which means that, for me, going to bed early means trying to get to sleep by 12.30am. My bedtime before I had my child was 3 or 4am, but that’s because I love the night, when everything shuts up and I have a moment to be creative."
Aguilera is not shy about the pleasures of the marital bed. She once said she and Bratman enjoyed naked Sundays.
She said: "My favorite times with him are when we are just cozying up in bed together. I love my bed, I eat in bed, and if it were up to me I would do everything from my bed."
