RedOne, the hitmaker behind many of Lady GaGa‘s smashes, is currently working on Nicole Scherzinger‘s sophomore (yet first commercially released) LP.
While recently recounting his earlier work on the Pussycat Doll singer’s ill-fated ‘Her Name Is Nicole’ album, the producer uses an interesting analogy when describing the material on the record overall.
The hilarity below…
Via BBC:
I’m not doing any more of what I call “fast food writing” – where people demand a single, a single, a single. No. If you want me to invest my time in you, you need to invest yourself in me, as an artist.
So you’re saying you’ve been guilty of that in the past?
Yes, but not any more. Because that’s what I love from the old times. You listen to Stevie Wonder and it could only be Stevie Wonder. Led Zeppelin is the same. I think that’s missing nowadays.
Take Nicole Scherzinger (former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman), I just finished her album. Her last one never came out because it was collecting hamburgers, like fast food. One from McDonalds, one from Burger King, and so on. It tasted good, but it wasn’t consistent.
Her new record – people are really going to go crazy about it because it’s the real her.
It’s oh-so refreshing to see a producer being so honest about their own work as well as an artist, instead of the usual hot-air blowing. However, while RedOne’s ability to have crafted smashes for Scherzinger’s new album isn’t far-fetched (his reputation precedes him), her problems stretch far beyond the material alone. Put simply, the masses just don’t like her. A nice girl, perhaps, but that Pussycat Doll setup (all Nicole, all the time) was an automatic-TKO for her solo hopes. Whether or not she’ll be able to recover or stay down for the count will be interesting to see…
I like hamburgers. *kanye shrug*
I still say she is Finished she’s probably coming with French Fries this go around. I think it’s BEST that her and that monster ROBIN ANTIN go find a bench and site down somewere aint nobody checking for u
She’ll be fine. If the masses didn’t like her then how did she win DWTS? The reason she flopped the first time round is because her material was crap. Hopefully it will be good this time
We LOVE NICOLE! End of.
Can’t wait for nicole new ish i love her
he means nicole flopzinger! anyway who cares about her?!
Ummm this girl is like the American Cheryl Cole.
both are epic dancers
both are exceptionally beautiful BUT THERE’S ONE DIFFERENCE
PEOPLE ARE STILL CHECKING FOR CHERYL COLE IN THE UK ‘CAUSE SHE’S SUPER POPULAR HERE.
NO-ONE IS CHECKING FOR NICOLE SOLO.
HAHaaaaaAaaaa
i just cant waiiiiiiiiiit 4 it
yay
this is de year that Nicole is gonna have her first U.S. number one
GO NICOLE!
nicole flopburger!
@beyonsaly
haha
Nicole’s baby love which definetly was a flop in US peaked at 14 on Uk charts
so STFU!
She’s got a lot of fans in UK
I hope Nicole set”nobody can change me” as a promotional single and release 2 other singles b4 albums release
@ARYO YES BECAUSE NUMBER 14 IS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG, ISN’T IT?
LOL YOU STAN FOR A FLOP LOL!
CHERYL COLE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Love her so I can’t wait.
What with her being on the new season of the X Factor, NOW is the best time to release new solo material and abandon the sinking ship that is PCD.
PCD will always be Nicole, Melody, Kim, Jessica and Ashley for me. Not those cheap replacements.
KMT.
@Beyonslay
haha ur worried cuz cheryl is angry and jealous 2 Nicole after X- factor replacement
rite?
That w**** deserves nothing but a FLOP !! She already has a solo career with the pcd so why is she workin’ on a so-called solo project !! B**** u’re no Beyoncé so stick to s****-modeling, and dancing !!
YEP THE LITTLE THAT I HEARD FROM HER LAST SOLO PROJECT WAS TRASH SO HOPEFULLY SHE WILL DO BETTER THIS TIME.
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
well I have nothing against Nicole… I wish her the best and I kinda like whatever you like but common her past songs where all dumb ! whatever u like of the ballad she released right after (some Will I Am thing) was writen for/from a kid like Myrus or Biber…
Now I expect a lot BUT I really don’t know what she’ll put out… if she’s doing s*** thing it will be consider as PCD ish. If she sings some ballads everybody will see that she doesn’t have a big range AND that she got problem to hold a clear note… So really I don’t know. For me she ‘s average… not the best, not the worst… just here… but without any X factor !
Can’t wait for Nicole New Album!
@Trina
F*** OFF B****!
She’s wayyyyyy better than Beyonce
Both in dancing and singing
Trina may be a little raw wit it but she’s being real. Nicole already had a solo career with the PCD, this is like letting her have a 2nd one. The PCDs was not a good look for her since she was planning a solo career. Though I love Nicole she should’ve never been allowed to be on DWTS.
Nicole is awesome
Hope she does well this time!
NO ONE IS INTO THIS B**** ANYMORE… TOTAL NONSENSE. SHE SHUD JUST DISAPPEAR ALREADY AND DO MORE BROADWAY S***. COMMERCIALLY SHE’S DONE.
@Exposed
Ur a f*****’ idiot
This woman is destined to FLOP. She’s a great dancer and an average singer, but she has no star power as a solo artist. She’s a bore. Hell, for starters she needs another stage name, because I’ve heard people slaughter her name (last name). The best she’ll ever be is being the lead of PCD. On the bright side, she could be a ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ judge. = |
And I can’t believe this woman actually has stans! Um, really?
NICOLE IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!
CAN’T WAIT FOR HER ALBUM!!!
~TeAM WeeZY~

Kelly Rowland’s flop sister
LOL AT FLOPZINGERS 1 STAN HAVING TO WORK OVERTIME AND CONTRIBUTE 50% OF THIS POSTS COMMENTS LMAO!
SHE IS DONE, NOBODY LIKES HER BECAUSE OF THE WAY SHE TOOK COMPLETE CONTROLL OF PCD AND FORCED THE OTHER GIRLS OUT.
HER SONGS ARE S*** AND FLOP (14 IN THE UK IS NOT A HIT @ARYO, AND WHARE DID HER OTHER S*** CHART? *GOES AND CHECKS* OH “BABY LOVE” CHARTED AT 5 IN GERMANY (LOL) AND 14 OR LESS EVERYWHERE ELSE, “WHATEVER U LIKE” CHARTED AT 57 IN CANADA AND CANADA ONLY AND EVERYTHING ELSE DIDN’T CHART…. WHAT AN ILLUSTRIUS CAREER LOL).
OH WELL I GUESS WHEN SHE’S DONE WITH RENT SHE CAN ALWAYS PLAY THELMA IN CHICAGO AND THEN FADE AWAY, SHE BETTER PUT A RING ON LEWI$ HAMILTON LOL
Why is she going solo when her solo work & work in a “group” isn’t any different. It’s her all the time. No former PCD fans should like her, she’s the reason the original group broke up.
@ ARYO
U better shut your ass up your dumbass s**** !! I just speak my mind !! This trashy s*** already has a solo career !! What do you call a group in which you only have one singer and not even 1 back up singer ?? So b**** PLEASE !!

// holla
First of all, Nicole is an average looking mixed chick.. She is very ugly in real life without all of the photo shopping. She always looks so old and bony. The only reason why people think she’s beautiful is because she looks “exotic” but she just looks like a bird with her big crooked nose.
Second of all, her singing is horrible! I can’t stand her raspy little boy voice. She’s just like Fergie when she sings. Always hitting the wrong notes and always off key when singing live and needs a whole bunch of auto tune (not the t-pain version) to fix her vocals.
Third of all, she can dance pretty well, but I wonder what type of image she would have? Before she was selling s** to the fullest but what is going to make her stand out from the rest?
Last but not least, Red One is a good producer and produced some shallow and bubblegum but hot beat songs for Lady Gaga, but I’m not sure if he’ll deliver this time with someone like Nicole. I remember when he gave Alexandra Burke that God awful Regge song.
In all honesty, she may have a hit and she may not this time around, but she definitely will not have a long and successful singing career. She’s what… 33 years old and is now coming out with her “solo” album?
HER VOICE IS JUST BORING , I TAKE MELODY ANY DAY
@smartee 1st of all, susan boyle is 60 and she jus released her 1st album!!!!!!! 2nd : U think beyonce and rihanna are sexier than nicole???? search for their name + without makeup, n u’ll see how horrible they are, & NICOLE is better than all of em
i can’t wait for her new stuff…her first try wasn’t that bad either but she did no promotions…
I love nicole, she definetly was the best member in PCD
Btw, nicole’ new single is out in sep\oct, CANT WAIT
REDONE+NICOLE = best team ever
@sarah, MELODY was the best pcd member, not nicole
No one gives a s*** about Nicole!!!!! she shud quit music for all i care!!!!
