NYmag: What kind of playlists did you have this week?
Nicole Winhoffer: Right now we’re listening to a lot of old-school
R&B, because the program that we’re doing has slower toning and a
lower BPM [beats per minute]. So there’s some Missy Elliot, old Jay-Z,
Frank Ocean, Chris Brown, Rihanna. Last week her workout had a higher
BPM, so we were listening to a lot of remixes, like remixed Christina
Aguilera and Britney songs. It just varies. Sometimes I play Rastafarian
music and she’s like, “What is that?” [Laughs.] But it’s good to change
it up, keep the imagination and brain working, and keep her body
inspired.
Christina Aguilera sees her upcoming breather from NBC's hit "The Voice" as an opportune time to spend time with family, reconnect with fans and, she says, play some tour dates in support of her new album "Lotus."
"It's very interesting, because it won't really in time be that much of a break," she told Billboard's Bill Werde (@ bwerde) backstage at last week's Film & TV Music Conference. "It'll barely allow me to sort of get back to my fans, maybe see them on the road, have some tour dates possibly."
She added that she's hoping "throw in a vacation" as a well during that time and be "able to have a moment to myself which is so important, and for my family, my son."
