In 2020, Coleman flew to Denver, CO, headquarters of Color Red, to work on an album produced by Eddie Roberts. Roberts enlisted fellow Color Red collaborators Eric Halborg (Dragondeer), Cole Rudy (Dragondeer), Carl Sorensen (Dragondeer), Chris Spies (Eddie Roberts & The Lucky Strokes, Honey Island Swamp Band) and Dan Africano (Thievery Corporation, Death by Dub) to play on the session.

Stripped is Christina Aguilera’s fourth studio, and third English-language album. Looking to transition from the teen pop styles of her self-titled debut album (1999), she took control over this project – both musically and lyrically. This is the album where she changed her public image and established her alter ego, Xtina. Musically, Stripped incorporates pop and R&B with influences from many different genres including soul, rock, hip hop and Latin music. The album spawned 5 singles: “Dirrty,” “Beautiful,” “Fighter,” “Can’t Hold Us Down” and “The Voice Within,” with “Beautiful” winning the 2004 Grammy for ‘Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.’ The album has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century.

The VMP exclusive version of Christina Aguilera's Stripped (20th Anniversary Edition) is the album's first-ever reissue. It's pressed on "Stripped" vinyl at GZ Vinyl. The 2 LPs will arrive in a deluxe gatefold, chrome board and stamped sleeve. It was mastered by Barry Grint at Alchemy Mastering at AIR.
