Here some bits out of a new interview
About the album:
Quote:
Can we expect some surprises on your new solo album?
"Absolutely. Because I've just worked with The Dream and Tricky and it is cohesive, we've created a sound. We found a sound. We found a Nicole sound. So when you hear a couple of the songs you'll be like, 'Woah, that doesn't sound like any other artist out there. Any other formula of song out there. Any other beat out there.' I feel like it's DNA'd to me."
How would you describe the Nicole sound?
"Midtempo, supercool, super-vibey, some of it's a little throwback to Janet Jackson Velvet Rope and some of it has early essences of Sadé, but it's current."

About the single choice
Quote:
Why did you decide on that song?
"It's actually unlike any other song on my new album. It's more poppy. The other songs are pop, but they're more urban-pop. I just remember the feeling I got when I went back to my room and I just couldn't stop singing the song. It had a hold on me. I woke up and it was still lingering."

About her scrapping albums and Boomerang
Quote:
What's going to happen with 'Boomerang', Nicole?
"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, but that's just part of it. I have probably five albums, and I wonder if the songs will ever see the light of day. Maybe one day I'll just release songs for my fans? I don't want to confuse people. You have to be in the moment, and we're going with the sound that is right now - fresh and new to us."
It must be quite hard working on an entire album just to let it go?
"Yes, I've been doing this for how many years now? And do you know how many songs I wanted to put out that never came out? I'm used to it. In fact, I'm very protective of my babies, so now if they're not ready and I know people might not quite get it, yeah, I guess I do hold them close to me and say it's just not the right time for them. I think a lot of artists are like that.
"We don't just record 12 songs, we have a catalogue of songs. I remember I was in Ne-Yo's catalogue once and was like, 'What is this song - this is beautiful. This song is epic'. I don't know if they'll ever see the light of day. Who knows - maybe they'll go to other artists?"
