In addition to logging studio time with Christopher 'Tricky' Stewart, Grammy Award-winner Christina Aguilera has teamed up with noted songwriter Claude Kelly.

Kelly, noted for penning songs for Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson to Whitney Houston and Jennifer Hudson, says they've been busy on two projects.

"I worked with her on her album as well as on the soundtrack to this movie she is doing with Cher called Burlesque," Kelly tells Singersroom.

According to Kelly, the songs capture real feelings and experiences.

"I know that because of the state of the economy and the recession that people really want to hear songs that explain their feelings or songs that really speak the truth about what is going on," says Kelly.

"People have less patience for bull right now. They want to hear music that is real and music that makes them feel good."

As previously reported, Christina Aguilera's anticipated album, titled "Light & Darkness" is due for release in 2010.
