It features guest vocals from rappers Busta Rhymes, Timbaland and will.i.am. Lyrically the album incorporates sexual innuendo and explores the themes of feminism and romance. The music style of PCD was described as pop/ R&B and urban dance-pop. As one of the executive producers Fair produced the majority of the album and collaborated with producers like Kwamé, Polow da Don and Rich Harrison.
After attracting media attention, Antin struck a joint venture with Interscope Records to develop the Pussycat Dolls into a brand, with Jimmy Iovine assigning the project to Ron Fair. In 1995, the Pussycat Dolls were created as a burlesque troupe by choreographer Robin Antin. The only song of hers which I'm convinced she could have had a hit with that we've heard was "When I Grow Up", and we all know what happened to that song.PCD is the debut studio album by American girl group The Pussycat Dolls, released on September 12, 2005, by A&M Records. (On a side note, why nobody at her label realised naming it that was going to make the single DOA is baffling). Add in the fact nobody really anticipated or cared for a solo Nicole Scherzinger album given her position in PCD, it was rightly met with indifference.īy the time they got on to "Puakenikeni" - the only single which really would be a challenge for the majority of people to spell when searching online - the campaign was pretty much dead and buried anyway. Her solo music grossly underperformed because her two lead singles sounded like knock-off PCD material. Not to mention the fact most people would probably search for the song name / the song name & "Nicole". If you search for "Nicole" in iTunes, pretty much all of her releases pop up in the first few results and the others can be found lower down. Wyatt's bandmate Melody Thornton allegedly criticised Scherzinger on stage at a gig in Phoenix earlier this year.Ĭlick to expand.Total rubbish. I don't really make any of the decisions, I'm in the group and can voice my opinions to a degree but at the end of the day it is a business and there are a lot of chefs in the kitchen that run the Pussycat Dolls." She continued: "I wasn't in videos like I wanted and wasn't seen in the way I was hoping, which has been the same for all the other girls too. Every video and stage performance that we've done, Nicole has been our leader." This group was created with a foundation, they knew exactly what they wanted and they had Nicole as the focus. Wyatt is quoted as saying: "It's true, there has always been a lot of focus on Nicole, which has been hard to deal with sometimes. The 'Jai Ho!' singer has accused music bosses of favouritism by focusing on lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, noting that the group's last two singles have featured Scherzinger's name as well as the band's. Kimberly Wyatt has spoken out about the problems threatening to tear the Pussycat Dolls apart. Hard Kaur also recently recorded a song with another American rapper Bizarre for the D12 band. “I will make them sing a few lines in Hindi, otherwise what’s the point of having a collaboration,” she asked. “The video will release at the year end because I have other commitments and my US tour is coming up,” said the singer who intends to educate the Pussycat Dolls on all things Indian. They loved it and now we’ll be recording the song most probably in LA.”īut, she regrets she had to delay the Pussycat Dolls by almost five months because of the reality dance show she was a part of. I already sent Pussycat Dolls the chorus I have written which goes on like ‘Move over, Hard Kaur is here’. Hard Kaur, who is also called the first female Indian rapper in India, told BT in surprise, “The agent told me that they were keeping track of my music and liked my work. The Brit-born Hard Kaur, who shot to fame with the song Glassy, and then went on to sing for films like Johnny Gaddaar, Ugly Aur Pagli, Singh Is Kinng, Kismet Konnection and Bachna Ae Haseeno, has been approached by the Pussycat Dolls’ agent to record a song with them for their new album.
