It was only a matter of time.
Nicole Scherzinger is cashing in on her X Factor popularity and re-launching her Pop career.
Hoping to reverse her so-so solo fortunes, the former Pussycat Doll today announced the first single from her second studio album.
Details after the jump…
Taking to Twitter early this morning, the 34 year old confirmed ‘Boomerang’ as the lead release from the as-yet-untitled LP. And with the finale of the X Factor set to take place in a mere matter of weeks, it appears the singer is racing against the clock to have the song and its video in circulation by then. For the video shoot is…today:
Doing a video for my new single #boomerang #returnofnicole
— Nicole Scherzinger (@NicoleScherzy) November 29, 2012
Nicole has always been quite the conundrum in that, for all her talent and beauty, the masses haven’t yet gravitated toward her solo efforts. Indeed, while she’s had some truly tragic tunes (see: ‘Baby Love’, ‘Try With Me’, ‘Whatever You Like’), she’s also served up winners such as ‘Wet’ and ‘Right There’ - none of which have done much of anything beyond a few European countries.
Here’s hoping her new material and visuals are oven-hot, with a savvy promo push to boot. For, beyond it being a shame if her talent goes to waste, this could also be her last legitimate “shot”.
Your thoughts?

One good thing I can say is that she won’t ever give up lol. But this will flop just like the rest. She just needs to give up.

it would come down to paula, janet, ciara and jlo, if we are talking about their peak and not right now when 3 of the 4 are in their 40s. beyonce can dance but she isnt on the same challenging level as a ciara or jlo style dancing. her best choreographic music video, (single ladies) was not too challenging hints why every1 was able to do it. same with nicole. none the less, they all can move.

but thats the problem, making money should not be the sole purpose of it. drug dealers make money, cartels make money, prostitutes make money, corrupt law enforcement make money etc etc etc. it doesnt matter how much money u make if it’s degrading yourself or the product being sold is not cared for

she shits on rihanna and all these other basic bitches when it comes to singing + dancing + looking good , the only problem with her is their label’s lack of support

No, her only problem is that she’s a flop outside of PCD and no ones checking for her. Good day!

Wow the people on this site are so fuckin music-dumb. Her album was number one in the UK where she dropped it. It’s not even for sale in the US. So I’m pretty sure she hasn’t flopped.

I have no time for her, i don’t personally think her voice is all that, i think her music is basic crap for someone who’s been in the music industry for so long and is 34, and i think her attitude is fake and stank. But to be honest, if the music was good i wouldn’t mind the latter but it aint. Cheryl cole can’t sing for piss but her songs are better than the zingerburgers

Nicole, Nicole, Nicole. Give it up. Be an actress. Be a host, be a model. Do something productive with your time other than music. You are dull, your voice is lifeless, and while you are STUNNING; you don’t have “IT”. What are you? 40? Yeah honey, if it hasn’t happened by now, it ain’t gonna happen. Hey! You could always go back to PCD!

She should just stay in Europe and release her music there. She’s only big in Europe as a solo artist and her music charts well there.

“second studio album”? uh…wouldnt this be her THIRD seeing how the 1st album and KILLER FLOP got shelved in the us? bless her heart for trying tho.
she may be able to sing and dance like her fans say but apparently she lacks the X-FACTOR to seperate her from any other broad who can sing and dance seeing how her solo career has been a FLOP thus far! it aint always “management” or “promo”. sometime it’s cuz ppl just aint checking for your fave PERIOD!
and ppl hatin on rih-rih at least rih’s albums get released ON TIME…no pushbacks…and her singles chart in OTHER COUNTRIES besides the uk!

IDIOTS coming here & telling they don’t care about her, that her song will flop like others. If you don’t like her then don’t come here and break our balls !
SHE’S A STAR & SHE DESERVES MUCH MORE ATTENTION CUZ SHE’S PURE TALENT
SHE CAN SING, DANCE & SHE’S 2 HOT FOR HERSELF 
I LOVE YOU NICOLE SCHERZINGER !!!

You guys act like the US is the only music market that matters. What do you mean “re-launching her career” and “so-so solo fortunes”? I mean, it’s cool if you’re not Nicole fans but give her a break. Her album was Top 10, most of the singes from it were Top 20 (Right There and Poison were number 3 and Don’t Hold Your Breath was number 1) in the UK charts. She’s more popular in Europe, so what? Success is success.
