Popjustice write-up, sounds great to me :wub:

 

Nicole Scherzinger is about to storm back with a complete cracker of a single

Nicole Scherzinger: talent show judge.

Lexical maverick.

Asda employee of the month November 2012.

And when it suits her, which also tends to rather suit us too, popstar. It seems she’s allowing the popstar part of her personality to dominate since quitting The X Factor: having signed a new deal with RCA, her new album is all produced by the highly brilliant The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, which seems like a fairly bold “I’m taking this album quite seriously in and of itself rather than as just one tentacle of my octopus-like celebrity persona” move.

All of which would count for precisely nothing if the music was rubbish but we’ve heard the first single, ‘Your Love’, and it’s a triumph. It doesn’t sound like any other hit songs (it’s always good when that happens), and it’s is a ridiculously elegant single: precision-tooled for pop supremacy but sparsely produced and as a result rather more stylish than the smack round the head with a sack of spanners that was ‘Poison’. It starts with some rave piano and some bursts of “yeah” and “WOO!” from Nicole, then slides into an understated first verse that takes the bold move of rhyming “enticin’” with “Michael Tyson”. Later, MC Hammer is referenced* and there are some synth trumpets. It’s all very early 90s, with a smart 2014 twist, but more pertinently, it’s all very amazing.

The chorus – “ooh, ooh do do do-do do, ooh, ooh do do do-do do, ooh, ooh do do do-do do” – is a Grade A earworm but the pre-chorus (“and I, I’m never lettin’ you go baby, I, love you so baby”) is our favourite bit, and to completely seal the deal ’Your Love’ is three minutes and thirty three seconds song – only three seconds longer than the optimum pop length and you could probably edit it down if necessary because the last three seconds are just some peripheral clanking. There’s even a “witu” in the middle eight for some old-school PCD action, if that’s your bag.

Basically if you’re thinking, for whatever reason, that you might not quite be in the market for a new Nicole Scherzinger single, you are wrong. So horribly, terribly wrong. The single’s out on July 13, you’ll probably be hearing it in full in the next week or so then every eight minutes until the end of the summer, and the album suddenly seems like a very exciting prospect indeed.

All that remains, then, is for us to update our Nicole Scherzinger Top Solo Songs list. We actually do this every month anyway for personal reasons but we might as well make this one public.

"I had to make this whole album with it just being the three of us. For the first time in my career I feel like this album is me, it's real. It's a very personal album for me" she explained. "It is a reflection of the woman I am, the woman I am not and the woman I want to be."

The album's going to be called 'Nicole' then :nocheer:

You didn't link me to nu cheryl cole (says lee in four days time)

It sounds incredibly basic, but oh so freaking great and catchy at the same time ???

 

Like you go girl. I can't stop playing that snippet. Exactly what she needed...in the UK at least. Radios are going to eat this up.

 

May 29th is so far away. Just leak already.
