The Pussycat Dolls are no more. That singing, dancing, money making monster that titillated our guilty pleasures collection with hits like 'Buttons' and 'When I grow Up', have disbanded and the girls have gone onto better things. Who am I kidding? None of them have done anything remotely noteworthy, other than lead singer Nicole Scherzinger who was an instant BABE on Xfactor and had a huge flop of a solo career some years back. Now she's back (conveniently timed) with a new single, the Red One produced 'Poison', which isn't half bad.
Red One is everywhere, producing for GaGa, Britney, the lot. Only here he's mixed things up a little and altered his standard "Red One" quotation to sound like the opening to a Mortal Kombat movie, followed by an intriguing electro riff opening. Then Scherzy belts out, in true gay anthem style, some big "Oohhh Ooooohhh" notes. It's a massive step forward from her lacklustre and unoriginal first solo attempt 'Baby Love'. It's still not original (it could have been written for Gaga) but her strong vocals put her Pussycat paw stamp all over it. With a growing following (thanks Xfactor) and the potential for a successful outing this time round, this song looks like it'll be at least top 10. Now she can't complain about that, can she?
