Pop-star Christina Aguilera has reinvented some of her favourite hits on a new album, Keeps Getting Better: A Decade of Hits.

The album, due out next week, includes new versions of Genie in a Bottle and Beautiful, titled Genie 2.0 and You Are What You Are (Beautiful), respectively.

"I can't even believe what I was able to call it - time really flies" - Christina Aguilera

Staples such as Dirrty, Come On Over and Hurt also appear.

Produced by longtime collaborator Linda Perry, the new and remixed tracks all feature "futuristic sounds with beats driven more toward dance music," Aguilera said.

"This time around, I'm playing with this superhero element based on the fact that fans have grown up with me since I was 17 and have continually supported my changes throughout the years."

Keeps Getting Better is already selling well online with four-week sales totalling 331,000.

"I can't even believe what I was able to call it - time really flies," the 27-year-old said. "I constantly change my image. I'm a very visual artist and am constantly trying something new.

"Luckily, from what I can tell from reading letters and conversing with them when on tour, my fans love and are always open to my love for change. It's a really gratifying moment for me and such an opportunity to be free and let go."

Her last album, Back to Basics, was released in 2006.
