Christina Aguilera is coming to Spike TV. This week, the network announced they’ve partnered with the musician for a new music-based game show called Tracks.
Aguilera is currently serving as a judge on season 10 of NBC’s The Voice.
Tracks will test the ear of contestants by asking them to identify songs by just one sound component (i.e. the guitar, the bass, etc.). The half-hour game show is expected to premiere later this year.
From Aguilera, in a press statement:
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. 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.”

New York, NY, March 15, 2016 – Spike TV is partnering with entertainment superstar and singing icon Christina Aguilera (“The Voice”) to develop a new, music-based game show, “Tracks.” Produced by Mission Control Media and MX Productions in association with Lionsgate, “Tracks” will debut as a half-hour special on Spike TV later this year.
“Tracks” is an innovative musical game show where a team of two attempts 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 others.
“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 Executive Producer 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.”
Aguilera serves as executive producer 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.
More information on the host and production details to be announced shortly.”
