0 copiesAlbum DescriptionAvailable in: Her Name Is Nicole (in English: "Her Name Is Nicole") is the name of the unreleased demo album by US singer Nicole Scherzinger with Interscope Records. Originally scheduled for release on October 16, 2007, the album was postponed to November 12, due to the poor success of the single "Whatever U Like" (with TI) produced by Don Polow. The tracks "Baby Love", "Supervillain" and "Puakenikeni" were released as second, third and fourth singles respectively, but had no major impact. As a result, the album was archived indefinitely. The singer recorded 75 to 100 songs for this project, with some of them being revised and ending on both albums of the Pussycat Dolls. Among those who worked with her at the studio were producers Akon, Gary Lightbody, Dr. Dre, Ne-Yo, T.I., Timbaland, Will.i.am, and Kanye West. In 2016, following their second studio album, Big Fat Lie, rumors of an official mixtape with the preparation of these tracks appeared online. Once again nothing followed and the album remains unreleased unreleased to this day.Globally known as the leader of pop group Pussycat Dolls, Nicole began planning her album after the release of their first album, PCD (2005). With a wide range of producers and songwriters, the album had a number of formulations and release dates, the first of which was announced in 2007, then signaled a possible release for October 2008 but, with the release of the group's second album, the album release was again canceled.In 2009 it was announced that Nicole has returned to the project of her solo album and that it should be released in the same year. However, the album was not released. The following year, 2010, a new song was presented as a possible single from the album, "Nobody Can Change Me", which was not officially released. Scherzinger later said he would be abandoning the "Her Name Is Nicole" project and developing a new album that producer RedOne says is ready. User Album ReviewNone...External Album ReviewsNone...

The Pussycat Dolls achieved worldwide success with the singles "Don't Cha", "Stickwitu", "Buttons", and their multi-platinum debut album PCD (2005). However, despite their commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict due to the emphasis on Scherzinger, the group's lead vocalist, and the subordinate treatment of the other members. Bachar's departure from the group preceded the release of their second and final studio album Doll Domination (2008), which contains hit singles "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part", and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)". Following the completion of their 2009 world tour, the group went on hiatus and fully disbanded in 2010. The original recording line-up, minus Thornton, announced their reunion in 2019 with an upcoming tour and a new album. However, with the worsening situation arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, along with breaches of contracts and logistical issues, the reunion tour was cancelled in 2022, leaving the group's fate uncertain.

After the tour's conclusion, the group went on a hiatus,[62] with Robin Antin acknowledging that new members would be joining Scherzinger.[63] By February 2010, Jessica Sutta, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, and Melody Thornton had announced their departures from the group,[64] with Wyatt later acknowledging that "the group has fully disbanded."[65] In May 2010, four new members surrounded Scherzinger in a new line-up,[66] but by the end of the year, Scherzinger had left the group to pursue a solo career.[67] In 2011, there were continued attempts to rebuild the group, and a line-up that included former Paradiso Girls member Lauren Bennett, former Girlicious member Chrystina Sayers, Paula van Oppen, Vanessa Curry, and Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Erica Kiehl Jenkins was featured in a GoDaddy commercial during Super Bowl XLVI.[68] The group would go on to call themselves G.R.L, citing the need for differentiating from the Pussycat Dolls due to their music being less urban and they would spend the rest of the year recording their debut album.[69][70] In 2015, the group would disband nine months after member Simone Battle committed suicide following a battle with depression, before returning as a trio in 2016.[71][72]
Scherzinger's lawyer released a counter-statement to Antin's claims. Amongst the response was details of $600,000 advance from Live Nation that Antin had received to support the tour and now "won't or can't repay", as well as accusing Antin of "trading on Nicole's name without her consent" and public release of the group's financial arrangements for the tour. Scherzinger concluded that the lawsuit was "ludicrous and false", and that under those circumstances, the tour cannot happen.[126] Scherzinger further responded the Antin's lawsuit with a counter-claim in August 2022 that Antin has been trying to orchestrate a comeback for the band as far back as 2017. According to papers filed by Scherzinger, it was on the promise of a comeback that Antin obtained funds from Live Nation and tried to unsuccessfully revive the Pussycat Dolls for a reunion with American singer Pia Mia as the group's lead. Mia was allegedly paid $100,000 for the arrangement which never came to fruition.[127] Scherzinger and Antin reached an agreement for the group's 2019 tour which was subsequently delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Scherzinger's position stated that the original 2019 agreement elapsed and a new venture agreement was needed to proceed with the tour. Along the requirements was compensation and appropriate shares and control over the group to recongise Scherzinger's personal and financial commitments to the reunion.[127] According to Scherzinger, the Pussycat Doll's promotional appearances on The X Factor: Celebrity and subsequent Australian performances were financed and sourced by Scherzinger. The case against Antin alleges the use of Scherzinger's likeness to promote a tour for which there was no agreement in place, and that Antin has appropriated funds from the Live Nation advance for activities that were not related to Pussycat Dolls business. These claims have been refuted by Antin's lawyers and will be subject to further litigation.[127]
After the group's initial disbandment in 2010, all members continued on their solo projects. Carmit Bachar would join musician Sammy Jay to become electronic music duo LadyStation, releasing the extended play Voices in 2015. She would later release her first solo single in 2017, "It's Time". In 2010, Kimberly Wyatt joined a musical duo called Her Majesty & the Wolves and released their debut album on July 11, 2011. That same year, she was featured on the Aggro Santos song "Candy" which became a UK top five hit.[128] In June 2011, Melody Thornton announced plans to have her debut studio album released sometime in 2012.[129] On March 15, 2012, she released her first mixtape, "P.O.Y.B.L",[130] and contains ten tracks of five remakes and four originals all written by Thornton.[131] On June 3, 2011, Jessica Sutta announced that she had signed to Hollywood Records[132] and her first single, "Show Me", peaked at number one on the Hot Dance Club Songs in the United States.[133] However, her planned debut studio album Sutta Pop was shelved and she later left the label. Using the name J Sutta, she released the mixtape Feline Resurrection in 2016. Later, she released her debut studio album I Say Yes on March 3, 2017. On November 7, 2012, it was confirmed that Ashley Roberts would compete in the twelfth series of the British reality show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! airing on ITV.[134] In January 2013, Roberts became a member of the ice panel for the final two series of British skating show, Dancing on Ice on ITV.[135] In June 2014, Roberts announced her debut album, titled Butterfly Effect, would be released on September 1, 2014.[136]
A second season of Pussycat Dolls Present commenced as Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious which tried to find women to become part of a new three member all-female group, Girlicious.[170] Interscope Records formed a London-based spin-off group called Paradiso Girls through an open audition. In 2010, they were dropped and further promotion of their planned debut album Crazy Horse was cancelled, disestablishing the group.[171] Throughout 2011 and 2012 Antin spoke of casting new members for the Pussycat Dolls, with various new members named. In February 2013, Antin announced that she had scrapped plans for the new line-up to replace the former members of the Pussycat Dolls and would instead form a new group who will be the "next generation".[172] They eventually became known as G.R.L. and released their debut single, "Vacation", on June 16 as a B-side track to pop singer Britney Spears' single "Ooh La La".[173] 2ff7e9595c
