The Hawaiian songstress
channels early 2000s R&B for
album No.2! Check out MTV's
verdict here…
Big Fat Lie marks a return to form
for Nicole Scherzinger.
Produced with the help of The-
Dream and Tricky , the album
offers a mish-mash of R&B
throwbacks and catchy pop tunes.
For Scherzy, the backstory for this
LP goes much deeper, after
publicising her battle with bulimia,
the singer tipped that she would
use the record as a vessel to
address a few demons, telling
Digital Spy in an interview: “I think
we all have our own big fat lies.”
Your Love , the album’s lead single
and opening track would have you
completely contradict Big Fat Lie’s
backstory.
Nicole’s vocals are
infectious, catchy and the song is
a tried and tested crowd pleaser,
see her performance at Isle Of
MTV Malta if more proof is
needed.
From the top floor house party to
the secret underground club,
Nicole pulls in the help of T.I. for
Electric Blue. Sultry R&B meets
Pharrell Williams/Neptunes
inspired production. There are
hints of Janet Jackson in Nicole’s
vocals and the tracks composition,
whether intentional or not.
Third track On The Rocks is an
obvious choice for the album’s
next single, seeing Nicole “taking
shots”, at who? We can’t be sure.
It’s a typical Scherzy track, the no
nonsense pop diva makes it clear
on this record.
Girl With The Diamond Heart is
more of the familiar Nicole, making
the shift again with one eye on her
Pussycat Dolls days. It’s the
album’s break-up/better off
without you number.
Big Fat Lie makes the switch back
from sweet danceable pop to beat
heavy ballad. The title track seems
to bring to surface the evident
aforementioned big fat truths.
Nicole’s biographical interpretation
and two fingers up to celebrity
culture sums up the premise of
this album. She sings: “If I’m
living such a wonderful high why
don’t I feel alive,” taking shots at
her appearance and perception of
herself.
Run, the eleventh and final track
on Big Fat Lie – also the first US
single from the album – is a
somber piano ballad complete with
and even more somber vocals over
this track where the singer offers
advice to the next broken heart.
All in all, it’s a short album but
with moments of Nicole magic,
diva in appearance but not in
manner. The very likable Pussycat
Doll has released a very likeable
record, which will be sure to
please the fans.
It’s a brave move to put your life
and insecurities on a record, but
Scherzy proves why she’s the
woman for the task.
Big Fat Lie is due for release on
October 20.
