Screen Rant exclusively interviewed Christina Chong at STLV: Trek to Vegas to get the scoop on the clip from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 released at San Diego Comic-Con, as well as Christina's next album, which will feature a new style and the vocal talents of her Strange New Worlds cast mates Jess Bush, Celia Rose Gooding, Ethan Peck, and Melissa Navia. Christina also revealed that she has asked Anson Mount to sing on her new album. Read her quote below:

These are new songs and a new style. Now, I'm not sure if it's going to be an EP that I'm releasing or if I'm just going to wait and release the album, but the new style I was working on in Toronto was neo-soul kind of vibes inspired by jungle. And I had Celia, Jess, and Melissa come me on one track, and then I had Ethan me on another track. And I actually spoke to Anson the other day. I was like, ‘Huh, could we get Anson Mount on a track?’ And he was very up for it. I'm going to spend time in Nashville and LA for the rest of this year writing the rest of the album, and I'm still going to figure out if it's all going to be neo-soul, or what is it going to be. So I'm just going to write a load of songs and then figure it out.
