Blank Page
"Blank Page" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera, taken from her seventh studio album, ''Lotus'' (2012). It was written by Aguilera, Chris Braide and Sia Furler, with production done by Braide. Aguilera had worked with Furler on her previous two albums ''Bionic'' and ''Burlesque'', both released in 2010. Following the release of ''Lotus'', Aguilera revealed that Furler is one of her favorite people to work with and that she is very inspiring.
"Blank Page" is a minimalist piano-driven ballad which received frequent comparisons to Aguilera's 2002 single "Beautiful". It garnered strong critical acclaim from music critics, who praised its simplistic arrangement as well as Aguilera's raw and strong vocal performance on the song. Following the release of ''Lotus'', it peaked at number 53 on the South Korea international singles chart. Aguilera performed the song live for the first time at the 39th People's Choice Awards, where she was awarded with the People's Voice Award.
==Background and recording==
Following the release of her sixth studio album, ''Bionic'' (2010), Aguilera filed for divorce from her husband Jordan Bratman, starred in her first feature film, ''Burlesque'' and recorded the accompanying soundtrack. She then became a coach on NBC's singing competition show ''The Voice''〔 and appeared as a featured artist on Maroon 5's single "Moves Like Jagger" (2011), which spent four weeks atop the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. Following these events, Aguilera announced that had plans to begin production of her seventh album, stating that she wanted high quality and "personal" songs for the record.〔 Regarding the creative direction, she revealed that the album would be a "culmination of everything I've experienced up until this point ... I've been through a lot since the release of my last album, being on ('The Voice'), having had a divorce ... This is all sort of a free rebirth for me." She further said "I'm embracing many different things, but it's all feel-good, super-expressive () super-vulnerable."〔 Aguilera continued to say that the album would be about "self–expression and freedom" because of the personal struggles she had overcome during the last couple of years. Speaking about her new material during an interview on ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' in 2012, Aguilera said that the recording process for ''Lotus'' was taking a while because "I don't like to just get songs from producers. I like them to come from a personal place ... I'm very excited. It's fun, exciting, introspective, it's going to be great". "Blank Page" was written by Aguilera, Sia Furler and Chris Braide, the latter of whom also produced the song. Aguilera's vocals were recorded by Oscar Ramirez at The Red Lips Room in Beverly Hills in California. Braide provided the programming, string arrangement, piano and keyboards.〔
