Killer Love
Nicole Scherzinger
This one’s been leaning up against the wall alongside the dance floor for a while now. After her first solo album, Her Name Is Nicole, was delayed in 2007 and then canceled at the last second in 2008 due to several unsuccessful singles and half its tracks were absorbed into the forthcoming Pussycat Dolls Doll Domination album. Coming right after all the press and promotion finished so as to maximize on embarrassment, the big question was, “Can Nicole separate from the Dolls and float on her own?” Now started and restarted more times than Family Guy, Moroccan super-producer RedOne was called in to give the album some consistency, not to mention the most popular sound of the moment. The end product is well worth the wait. Mostly aggressive dance with a rock and soul edge, all the party girls are gonna love this. And when they’re coming down from their extracurriculars, the ballads provide a nice backdrop, two of which feature guest vocals by Sting and Enrique Iglesias.
