Christina Aguilera Developing Musical Game Show for Spike TV

NEW YORK: Singer Christina Aguilera has signed on to develop a new, music-based game show due out on Spike TV as a half-hour special later this year.

Titled Tracks, the show will be produced by Mission Control Media and MX Productions, in association with Lionsgate. The show will see a team of two attempt to name a song title just by listening to its individual tracks (e.g., guitar, bass, vocal, etc.). The series will also feature surprise celebrity musical guests performing tracks, which could be their own or the tracks of others.

Aguilera will executive produce along with MX Productions founder Matthew Rutler (Chef Without Boarders, MasterClass), Michael Agbabian and Dwight D. Smith (Hollywood Game Night, Face Off). Neal Tabachnick and Michael Aubry are co-executive producers, and developed the series with Mission Control Media.

“Having finely tuned my ear for music over the years, I thought it would be fun to test other folks and see if they can identify a track, with a twist, since contestants will have to focus on a single component of a song,” said Aguilera. “I’m excited to have Tracks debuting on Spike TV, and proud to have this as the first project springing from our first-look deal with Lionsgate.”
