According to reports, UK media darling Cheryl Cole has signed a major label US distribution deal with Interscope Records.
The deal will see the X-Factor judge release her debut solo album ‘3 Words’, which is currently #1 in the UK, Stateside, with its release preceeded by first US single, the will.i.am produced title track. {Source}
With the bulk of Cheryl’s critically-slammed album being produced by will.i.am, who is conveniently signed to Interscope along with the Black Eyed Peas, I can’t help but wonder if ol’ Will pulled a few strings for the Girls Aloud singer. I say this because I have the hardest of times swallowing the notion of any US label checking for Cheryl Cole like that. Sweetheart or otherwise, she will get chewed up and spat out by the US market…no question about that. If several more talented UK exports have fallen flat on their faces in the US, I cannot see how Cheryl Cole is gonna make an impact (I mean, come on now). That said, stranger things have happened…
