Spike will partner with singer Christina Aguilera on a new, music-based game show dubbed Tracks.

The show, which will initially premiere as a special later this year, will feature a team of two attempting to name a song title by listening to its individual tracks, said network officials.

Aguilera (The Voice) will executively produce the series, which will also feature surprise celebrity musical guests performing tracks.

Also serving as executive producers are MX Productions founder Matthew Rutler (Chef Without Boarders), and Michael Agbabian and Dwight D. Smith (Hollywood Game Night). Neal Tabachnick and Michael Aubry are co-executive producers for the show, according to Spike.
