---|---|
Killer Love is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Nicole Scherzinger, former lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. It was released from March 18, 2011 by Interscope Records, in association with its affiliated record labels. Scherzinger began recording the album in 2005, under the title Her Name Is Nicole, and was originally due for release in 2007. However unsuccessful singles and poor timing led the project being pushed back numerous times into 2008 and 2009. Scherzinger would then go on to shelve the album, citing bad timing and creative issues as the reasons for its cancellation. In 2010, following the release of the Pussycat Dolls' second album Doll Domination, Scherzinger enlisted Moroccan producer RedOne to produce material for her debut album.
Completed in 2011 and titled Killer Love, Scherzinger's debut album features a combination of up-tempo club songs, as well as mid-tempo and down-tempo ballads. The songs contain elements of rock, soul and funk music and Scherzinger specifically selected songs and productions which would suit being performed live. Amongst the fourteen-song set are two collaborations, one with Enrique Iglesias, and one with Sting, which was leftover from the Her Name is Nicole recording sessions. RedOne and his associates produced almost half of the album, while the rest was produced by the likes of Jim Jonsin, StarGate, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart and Boi-1da amongst others.
Killer Love was preceded by the release of the RedOne-produced lead single, "Poison" which respectively peaked at number three and number seven in the UK and Ireland, becoming one of Scherzinger's highest charting solo singles. It received mainly positive critical reception for establishing Scherzinger with her own sound and identity. A second single "Don't Hold Your Breath" (produced by Carl Falk, Steve Josefsson and Rami) also preceded the album, reaching number one in the UK and top-ten Ireland. To date, Killer Love was only released in limited territories, mainly: Ireland, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. An alternate version of the album will be released in the United States featuring Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent.
Upon release, Killer Love received a generally positive response from critics, who praised Scherzinger's strong vocals and conviction to convey emotion. However there was some negative criticism towards allowing RedOne to produce the majority of the album, stating that some of the songs sounded too similar to each other. At times it was felt that Scherzinger lacked coherence across the record, often taking the sound that individual producers had created for her instead of showing originality. Critics compared many of the songs to thoise her fellow pop and R&B contemporaries: Beyoncé, Rihanna and Britney Spears. Commericially, the Killer Love was most successful in the UK and Ireland, respectively peaking at number eight and number fourteen.
Background and development
Scherzinger initially began work on her debut studio album back in 2005.[2] The project, titled Her Name is Nicole, saw the singer recording 75–100 songs, with some of the songs later ending up with the Pussycat Dolls.[3] Amongst those working on the album were Akon, Gary Lightbody, Dr. Dre, Ne-Yo, T.I., Timbaland, will.i.am, and Kanye West.[4] However following four unsuccessful singles, Scherzinger admitted she was going to restart her album. In an interview with Billboard magazine in April 2009, she said "the current incarnation of [my album] is just in talks and in the writing process. I haven't started recording yet".[5] Singer-songwriter Keri Hilson, confirmed that Scherzinger's album was not released so that Scherzinger could focus on releasing new music with the Pussycat Dolls instead.[6] Then in January 2010, Scherzinger began the recording and writing process for a third time, reuniting with Ne-Yo on "personal and heartfelt" tracks.[7] She attempted to launch her debut album for a second time on May 2010, with a brand new "rock, funk, soul edge" sound, and a brand new single "Nobody Can Change Me".[8]

Then in August 2010, Morrocan producer RedOne confirmed his involvement in the project during an interview with BBC Music, where he confirmed that the it was the third time that new material had been recorded for the album. When asked why he thought the album didn't previously come out RedOne said "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." He confirmed that he had produced the majority of the new album.[9] Scherzinger followed up his comments in an interview with X magazine in September 2010. She said "It was actually my decision not to put Her Name Is Nicole out, not the label's". Scherzinger then said how much of an honor it was to work with RedOne. "He's an unbelievable producer and musician. He had made some amazing songs with Lady Gaga. Now, there is someone with the 'x factor'. I can't touch GaGa or RedOne in that space, but I know that we've created something unique of our own."[10] RedOne revealed that Jimmy Iovine (chairman of Scheringer's record label) personally called him to work on Scherzinger's album. RedOne recalled, in an interview with PopEater,
"Honestly, Jimmy, if you want me to do it you gotta just trust me and let me do it, let me do a body of work and not chase a single" He was like, 'Absolutely, you go and create magic and create a style and everything.' "That's what we did. I think we created a new sound for Nicole Scherzinger that fits her, that really represents who she is, and you're gonna be impressed when you hear it."[11]
According to Billboard Scherzinger has collaborated with Ne-Yo and Jay Sean for songs on the album,[12] while Scherzinger confirmed that the album was mostly up-tempo songs which "lend themselves to live performances".[13] Though Ne-Yo's songs are not featured on the international version of the album, Scherzinger confirmed that songs produced by the singer-songwriter will appear on the U.S. version of Killer Love.[14][15] When Scherzinger was asked by her UK-label (Polydor Records) which artists she wanted to work with, Scherzinger's only request was UK rap-singer Plan B. Digital Spy asked Scherzinger to describe her album, during the interview she said "the album is largely produced by RedOne, I wanted something explosive that could be staged live in a full performance and I needed music to match the intensity. That’s what he did. It’s raw, dangerous and big. That’s what I want to be on stage. It’s a different energy to Lady GaGa. The music is more rock, funk and soul inspired."[16]
Composition
Killer Love sees Scherzinger duet with two male vocalists. On the ballad, "Power's Out," she duets with English recording artist Sting. Speaking of their collaboration, which took place with both singers in the same studio, Scherzinger said "[Sting's] energy is very commanding, in a subtle way. He is giving, generous and kind. I flew to Boston for his show with The Police. I met him and he was everything and more than I thought. I felt like we were doing yoga when we were singing. He was such an easy guy to work with... Singing on the same mic you are really close. He had fresh breath. No broccoli in the teeth."[17] David Renshaw from PopDash said the song borrowed elements and the sound from The Police, a band Sting was previously lead singer of, and in particular their 1983 hit single "Every Breath You Take."[18] The other duet is with Enrique Iglesias, on his 2010 single "Heartbeat". The version featured on Killer Love is the "Rude Well's Open Heart Remix". Ellwood noted that the remix "added beats changing the tone of the song completely."[19] Some of the album's ballads, "Casualty" and "Desperate," were likened to the style of Leona Lewis.[20][21] "Casualty" is one of the album's two closing ballads, the other being "AmenJena." The former is a "contemporary ballad-that’s-not-a-ballad," while the latter is slower and more moving, as it is stripped of the album's synthesized and electronic production, to leace Scherzinger's voice with the piano-led melody.[18][19] The album's other ballad "Everybody" also restricts the polished production, "to allow Scherzinger’s voice to be the main focus."[19] Kim Dawson, from The Daily Star, noted "Everybody" as the album's "goosebump ballad" moment.[21] When talking to MTV, in the United States, Scherzinger said [in context of the U.S. version of her album] it was "a mixture of strong dance anthems, urban twists and uplifting songs."[15]
Critics noted "You Will Be Loved" for its background vocals, which contain some yodelling. It's chorus is constructed by repeating the title of the song, similar to "Gimme More" by Britney Spears (2007) and "Halo" by Beyoncé Knowles (2009).[20] It was written by Timothy and Theron Thomas, a duo who had previously written "Supervillain," the third single from Scherzinger's ill-fated first incarnation of her solo album, Her Name Is Nicole.[14][22][23] "Right There" was compared to Rihanna's "Rude Boy", only politer in tone. Both "Rude Boy" and "Right There" were co-written by Ester Dean.[20][21] The latter features a "glistening beat," over which Scherzinger becomes territorial with her man, and warns other girls away.[24] Additionally, an alternate version of the song was recorded with 50 Cent, to be included on the U.S. version of Killer Love.[15] The album's lead single, "Poison", was described by 4 Music as a club thumper, while the follow up, "Don't Hold Your Breath", was described as "sort-of-ballad-but-not-really."[20] The Observer's Michael Cragg also noted "Don't Hold Your Breath" as a "classy don't-darken-my-door-again anthem."[1] Dawson noted the freedom theme in the song, likening it to a "Sugababe trying to break free,"[21] while Renshaw compared the song to Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown's 2008 duet "No Air".[18]
Killer Love also features a number of up-tempo songs including "Wet", described as a "party playlist essential" thanks to its throbbing base and electronic beats.[20] It was described, by Phillip Ellwood from Entertainment Focus, as the best of the up-tempos.[19] the title track was described as "catchy," with a "juicy beat," and "radio-friendly" chorus.[19] It features a "HI-NRG" beat with saucy lyrics which "equate love to actual, physical pain."[18] Another one of the up-tempo songs, "Club Banger Nation" features a 90's Europop introduction, with "shimmering beats and belting vocals"[20][19] "Say Yes" was originally produced by The Cave, during early recording sessions. It was written by RedOne, Jimmy Joker, Jonas Saeed, Pontef Soderquift, Nailah Thourbourne, Nyanda Thourbourne, Tasha Thourbourne, Candace Thourbourne.[14] Nailah had previously worked with Scherzinger twice, contributing to "Puakenikini" with Nayanda Thourborne and working with Akon, Scherzinger and Giorgio Tuinfort on the song "On My Side."[25][26] Both were recorded for Her Name Is Nicole, though the former was also released as one of Her Name Is Nicole's ill-fated singles.[23][27] For its inclusion on Killer Love, "Say Yes" was re-tooled and reproduced by RedOne and Joker.[14] Renshaw compared the song to works by Taio Cruz, thanks to the elements of Eurodance present in its production.[18]
Reception
Commercial performance
Killer Love made its chart debut in Ireland on March 25, 2011, at number fourteen.[28] Two days later, it would make its UK Album Chart debut at number eight,[29] performing one position better than Scherzinger's last release with the Dolls.[30]

The Observer's Michael Cragg noted the album as being consistent with most other modern R&B albums, stating "Killer Love is two thirds deliriously catchy pop stompers and one third balladry." Cragg also noted that Scherzinger's "not so inconsiderable voice" takes a backseat allowing the record producers to inject their own influences into her music.[1] Alex Macpherson from BBC Online commented that "Scherzinger is one of the few pop performers with the requisite power to dominate [her] beats rather than vice versa. Killer Love is far from the album you sense Scherzinger could still deliver: at times, her personality is all that – barely – carries substandard, unmemorable songs."[32]
However, Hugh Montgomery from The Independent gave it a negative review for a perceived lack of originality and musical identity, calling it "a debut that bludgeons the listener with faux-raunchy Euro-dance before flatlining with the obligatory earnest balladry and a Sting duet. At 14 tracks, it's at least 12 too long, much of it imaginably pilfered off Rihanna's reject pile."[34]
Singles
"Poison" was unveiled as the lead single for Killer Love. The "toxic pop" song that makes use of heavy synthesizers, premiered on October 14, 2010,[36] before its official release in Sweden on October 25, 2010.[37] Scherzinger focused on promoting the single in the United Kingdom, performing it live on series seven of The X Factor on November 28, 2010,[38] a day ahead of its UK release.[39] Upon release, "Poison" debuted at number three on the UK Singles Chart,[40] as well as top-ten in Ireland.[41] The album's second single, "Don't Hold Your Breath", was produced by Carl Falk, Steve Josefsson (of the Swedish House Mafia) and Rami.[14] An early demo of the song by Timbaland and Keri Hilson had previously leaked online in June 2010.[42] In early January two more unfinished versions leaked including one demo with Scherzinger's vocals, before the final version premiered via Rap-Up.com.[43][44] It was released on March 10, 2011 in Ireland.[45] The "empowering pop jam" was released in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2011.[46][47] It peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and top-five in Ireland. "Right There" impacted on UK urban music radio on April 1, 2011 as the album's third single.[48] The song's producer Jim Jonsin, has reworked a version of the song to feature American rapper 50 Cent. The new version of the song will be released as the lead single for the American release of Killer Love.[49] The song will be sent to mainstream radio in the US on May 24, 2011.[50] According to Digital Spy, "Right There" will be released in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2011.[51]
