Cheryl Cole Nabs Calvin Harris To Produce First Single

Published: Sunday 4th Mar 2012 by TGJ Team

Cheryl Cole has clearly been taking copious notes while watching and studying Rihanna‘s effortlessly successful pseudo-singing career.

Find out the full scoop after the jump and sound-off below.

Turns out the Girls Aloud star is set to borrow from Miss Fenty’s bag of tricks by teaming up with ‘We Found Love’ super producer Calvin Harris and Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am to produce her first single. The latter is the currently Cole’s agent and manager.

The former X Factor judge is poised to make a comeback this year, with particular interest stateside seeing how every one of her attempts to crack the U.S. market has been wholly unsuccessful. The single, an alleged electro tinged dance floor romp with a 4-on-the-floor breakdown, is slated to drop within the coming weeks. So predictable, yet completely expected.

Look for Cole’s follow-up to ‘Messy Little Raindrops’ to hit stores sometime later this year.

    A tennis racquet in Serena Willams hand is not the same the same as a tennis raquet in the average persons hand.

    Harris admitted that only Rihanna could have taken the song where it went. There is just something special about Rihanna

  15. JAMES March 4, 2012

    OBVIOUSLY, SHE’S PICKING CALVIN HARRIS TO NAB HER FIRST SINGLE, WHY WE WONDER?
    1. HES A BRILLIANT HIT MAKER
    2. HES SONGS ARE ALWAYS ON POINT
    3. IF RIHANNAS VOICES CAN DO A HIT RECORD… LIKE WE FOUND LOVE THEN IMAGINE WHAT CHERYL WILL COME UP WITH.
    CANT WAIT

  16. Songscribe March 4, 2012

    @james, u sound a little bit pressed,,,not much but a little bit. Was WFL riri’s first number 1 since her debute? What makes u think it was coz of harris, the song went to no.1? Do u think if another artist had performed that song it would have done better? Lawd!

  17. RYK101 March 4, 2012

    I just hope people realize this will not have the same success or impact as We Found Love, Harris is an excellent producer, he is great but not any of other collaborations will be as big as We Found Love at least not now and not in the next couple of years

    The only Harris-produced song that could be as big as Love is Where Have You Been, another Rihanna collabo, so expect other Harris work to be successful and even hit #1 but nowhere as near as the success of WFL

  18. Man-TAK-eee March 4, 2012

    Cheryl Cole’s lip syncing efforts are worse than Rhianna. That’s pretty damn bad. Next.

    Cheryl will never crack the US market, even she sells her soul to the devil. She just doesn’t have IT.
