He created the thread because we want to spam her manager to get her music put up on on digital platforms including her unreleased music.
She shelves her own material. Other smaller acts still put their music up even with less interest while she insists "it's not the right time" or some other excuse.

Killer Love is very polished while Big Fat Lie is very sloppy and cheap. As for being truly Nicole's album, not really when she didn't write or produce anything on BFL. And don't try the "she talked them and they wrote the songs" defense. Every pop star does that. Sure, KL has generic tracks that could have been sung by others like "Poison" or "Wet," but it's still very polished and also has songs like "Amen Jena".
This review sums it up:

Of all the popstars working today, Nicole Scherzinger's had the most stops and starts in her career. She doesn't seem to be able to pick up enough momentum to really break through in her own right, so there's a weight of expectation sitting on Big Fat Lie to be the album that finally gives her a massive hit. Unfortunately for her, it's not likely to happen any time soon with material like this.
There are so many problems with Nicole's sophomore solo release that it's difficult to know where to start. Her biggest issue on album number two is an overriding cheapness to the sound and production. And it really does sound cheap throughout, as though it's one of those albums rushed out for a contestant post-American Idol to capitalise on their 15 minutes of fame. If there's one positive here, it's that poor production values actually make the muted sexiness of 'Your Love' sound better by comparison.
Even with Sony behind her now and all its considerable heft, she's still unable to draw big name producers or writers to sit down and work with her on crafting a decent pop or R&B song. 'Girl With the Diamond Heart' is so drab and lazy that it borders on offensive because you can hear her talent being pissed up the wall by producers who have no idea what to do with her. It highlights a severe lack of creative direction or inspiration that dogs nearly every song.
Even Nicole doesn't seem to know what she wants to do and that's part of the problem. There's no identity here: it's an identikit album of mismatched parts. You only ever feel a spark of energy on track number two, 'Electric Blue,' when she relaxes into a playfully sexy, funky little melody that harks back to some pop gems of the '80s and '90s. That quickly gives way to increasingly dated R&B-light songs or mid-tempo efforts that are arduous to get through.
Her voice is powerful when she gets the chance to do something decent with it on album closer 'Run', but it's all a little too late to make any lasting impact. Her career could well be on the rocks unless she gets a producer that can help unlock the masses of potential she's got stashed away.
