Back in 2011, Nicole branched away from her Pussycat Doll bandmates and launched a successful solo career, spawning the top ten album ‘Killer Love’ and a string of hit singles including ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’ and ‘Right There’.

Fast-forward three years, and after serving as the team judge on ‘The X Factor’, Nicole is back and armed with a new record and single ‘Your Love’.

We met up with the star to talk about the track, her extreme workout routine for the video and Whether she’s got any collaborations surprise up her sleeve for her second LP.

Your reaction to your new single ‘Your Love’ has been pretty positive. You must be pleased?

“I hear the reaction is positive! I try to stay away from online as I’m quite sensitive, but I’ve put my best foot forward and I’m just hoping for the best.”

Also the music video is brilliant, although you’ve put just about everyone’s beach body to shame …

“Do not say that! Makes you feel better If I did work extremely hard for que video. I got more in shape than I ever have actually. Certain I put myself into training like cross fit training, weight training, hiking, lots of squats, spinning, yoga sculpting … I tried many new things to the possible to make myself fit and strong for the video. “

Where does ‘Your Love’ rank amongst the Nicole Scherzinger singles discography?

“Oh, I can not answer that! I think it stands on its own, so I can not compare it. ‘Poison’ had a life of its own, and so did ‘Do not Hold Your Breath’ and ‘Right There ‘… they’re all completely different.’ Your Love ‘ranks is where I am in my life right now. “

Over a year ago you released ‘Boomerang’ and then disappeared. What happened?

“I did an entire album with the label, but I’d been there for many years and it was time to make a change. There was the hard feelings at all. Sony then approached me and the Majority of the team are the same people I worked with when i started in Pussycat Dolls. It’s nice to rekindle love que! I just needed to turn a new page. previous The label did not put my album out and Sony are believers, so I’m excited for new music to finally come out. “

You surprised a lot of people during ‘The X Factor’ last year When You Performed with Sam Bailey. Were you tempted to come back with a big power ballad?

“I would love to do big songs, but the song with Sam came from a musical, and I can not just release an album of big musical songs and power ballads because I have younger fans out there. I need to perform to my demographic and what’s right for me. Those songs I love doing every now and then because I get to showcase different sides of myself creatively. “

How is the album coming along?

It’s finished. I say que, but until it comes out in. October, it’s not finished! I want it all out right now. I want to do what Beyonce did – make videos for all the songs and just put it out right now, just catch everyone by surprise So They do not know what to do! Let’s Beyoncé this thing already. “

You collaborated with Sting on your last album. Are there any surprises duets on this record?

“I hope so! Right now we have not focused too much on the features because I did not want to rely on Them, I just wanted to rely on the strength of the song and the melodies and the beats. IT’s on the album , but I do not know what else I’m going to do with it yet. If I were to collaborate with one person it would be Sam Smith.’d love to work with him, his album is brilliant. But for the moment, I’m focusing purely on the music. “
