Big Fat Lie is the second studio album by American singer Nicole Scherzinger, released on October 17, 2014 by RCA Records. Scherzinger began working on the record in the summer of 2013, enlisting Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart to executively produce the album with Felix Snow, Bart Schoudel, Chris "TEK" O'Ryan and Carlos "Los da Mystro" McKinney also contributing.
"Your Love" was released as the lead single from Big Fat Lie on May 30, 2014. It debuted at number six on the UK Singles Chart, and had moderate success in other international markets. "Run" was sent to US contemporary hit radio stations on September 30 as the album's lead single whilst the "On the Rocks" was released on October 10 elsewhere. "Run" was subsequently released in Great Britain, reaching the top-thirty in Scotland and top-fifty in the UK
Background
Following the end of the ninth series of the UK edition of The X Factor, Scherzinger shifted her focus on her second studio album.[2] In March, she released "Boomerang" as the lead single from the project, and it managed to peak at number six on the UK Singles Chart.[3] According to Scherzinger, will.i.am served as the executive producer of the album and worked with songwriter-producers Afro Jack, Dallas Austin, Toby Gad and Sandy Vee who produced "Boomerang".[4] Whilst planning to release the new album worldwide in November, Scherzinger unveiled that she had doubts about returning for the tenth series of The X Factor as the promotion for the album would clash with the live stages of the singing competition.[5] She ultimately decided to return as a judge,[6] and scrapped the album "Boomerang" was associated with.[7] It was during this time the media reported that Scherzinger was dropped from Interscope Records, however a spokesperson for Scherzinger denied speculation and confirmed that she was working with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart.[8]
When asked why "Boomerang" wouldn't appear on the album, she responded: "It's just going to remain a stand-alone single. In fact I did an entire album that belongs with "Boomerang". It had its own family. Unfortunately I don't know if those songs will ever be heard." She also revealed that she had recorded five albums between the release of her debut and second album, which were all scrapped.[9]
In January 2014, it was announced that Scherzinger signed a multi-album deal with Sony Records imprint label, RCA Records. She left her long-time label, Interscope Records. For the second album, Scherzinger collaborated with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart who executive produced the record whilst a lead single would be released in the summer.[10] In February, Scherzinger left The X Factor because she wanted to work on the new album. Sessions with The Dream and Tricky Stewart began in the summer of 2013 in Los Angeles. According to Scherzinger, "the music started to come naturally, without any outside influence, without any labels, just for us, just for music's sake."[11]
Release
On September 16, 2014, Scherzinger revealed the track listing for Big Fat Lie through Instagram via a crossword puzzle that fans had to solve.[12] Later she unveiled the album artwork along with the title for the standard and deluxe versions of the album; the black-and-white image depicts a close-up image of Scherzinger tussling her hair. Mike Wass of Idolator noted that the image "screams early Janet Jackson."[13] It was made available the same day for pre-order through the iTunes Store and it was confirmed that it would be released on October 17, 2014.[14]
Composition
Unlike her previous album Killer Love (2011); Big Fat Lie is a departure from the dance-pop sound for the most part, for a more R&B sound, a return to her original sound with some new elements added as well. The only full-out dance-pop song on the album is "Your Love", and on the deluxe version, "Cold World". The rest of the songs are a mix of "urban" pop, R&B, soul, and even some experimental PBR&B on the song "Heartbreaker". Nicole's vocals on the songs "Heartbreaker" and "Electric Blue" in particular, were compared to those of Janet Jackson. "Electric Blue" was compared to Janet Jackson's album The Velvet Rope (1997) for the similar production, and Nicole's sweet, soft, soothing, silky, sexy, smooth vocals. The song "Bang" was compared to the work of Ciara, specifically her Basic Instinct album (2010), which both The-Dream and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart also produced. "Just a Girl" is a "throwback to 90's R&B" with its production. "Girl With a Diamond Heart" mixes dance-pop and R&B. "First Time" is features a more traditional pop and R&B sound. "Little Boy" is a soulful ballad that is mostly free of a beat to put the focus on Nicole's vocals and lyrics. It was described as one of the most soulful songs on the album, and a mistake to only have it on the deluxe version of the album. In sound, it is similar to The-Dream's own song "Fancy", and Kelly Rowland's song "Keep It Between Us". The lyrics speak of wanting somebody that you can't have, and wanting them so much that you forget what you have already. "Unison" is a "feel good" chilled R&B track. "God of War" is a dark "angry" R&B-ish ballad, similar to the work of The Weeknd. Many of the songs incorporate The-Dream's own style into them with some new styles as well. Many liked what The-Dream did with Nicole and her music, while others criticized it for being outdated and too generic. Scherzinger said that songs from Big Fat Lie are pop and R&B with more urban influences than her previous album.[15] She cited The Velvet Rope (1997), the sixth studio album by fellow American R&B singer Janet Jackson, and Sade as major influences.[16] She further elaborated that the album is "vibey, it's cool, it's got a lot of soul and it's a very personal album to me."[15]
Promotion
To promote the album, Scherzinger made several media interviews on TV, radio…She starred covers of various magazines. Scherzinger first performed "Your Love" on the British chat show Alan Carr: Chatty Man on June 13, 2014.[17] At the Isle of MTV festival in Malta, Scherzinger performed "Your Love" along with a number of songs which included songs from her former group The Pussycat Dolls.

On the day of its release, she held an album signing at an HMV store in Oxford Street.[22] On October 22, 2014, Scherzinger performed "On the Rocks" at the MOBO Awards, wearing a top, trousers and high heels.[23] She also performed the song on shows such as This Morning (TV programme), Surprise Surprise (TV series) and Sunday Night at the Palladium. On 12 December 2014, Scherzinger performed 'Run' on The Graham Norton Show.

Theo Watt of MTV UK described the Big Fat Lie as a "very like able record" and applauded the singer for putting her "life and insecurities on a record."[47] John Aizlewood of the Evening Standard wrote that despite its "filler" the album is a "result is an appealing unity of supertight sound, where Scherzinger suggests a more vulnerable Beyoncé."[46] In a more mixed review Lewis Corner of Digital Spy wrote that none of the songs quite to showcase her "flying vocal range, sharp choreography and glorious demeanor." He ended the review saying that the album "reaches for something it can't quite accomplish."[45] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic found that the album's production "isn't particularly distinctive" and criticized Tricky Stewart and The-Dream for not bringing "their A game." He ended the review writing, "There's nothing embarrassing about their work here but there's nothing memorable, and that suits a singer who has yet to strike a memorable pose in a decade of trying."[44]
