Listen to Christina Aguilera's Gorgeous, 'Peter Pan'-Inspired Ballad
In March, Finding Neverland evolved from a Johnny Depp-starring film about the family that inspired Peter Pan into a Broadway production with Kelsey Grammar and Glee's Matthew Morrison. To promote the stage show, a slew of music industry superstars—including Jennifer Lopez, Ellie Goulding, Nick Jonas, Zendaya and Pentatonix—have teamed up to cover the showtunes. Today we get to hear Christina Aguilera's contribution, a lullaby-like take on the track "Anywhere But Here."
The cut opens with soft piano chords and dialed-down vocals from Xtina, recalling the singer's underrated 2010 single "You Lost Me." Sweeping orchestration gets added to the mix as the diva's belts grow stronger until she's serving her signature ad-libs by song's end.
