Nicole Scherzinger’s New Single Tries To Feel Like The First Time
In addition to “Baby Love,” and its lengthy, at-sea video, being pushed out and rechristened as the album’s first radio offering, the release date for Her Name Is Nicole has been pushed back from Oct. 16 to Nov. 6. Last-minute reworking or schedule fine-tuning on the part of her label? Either way, here’s hoping the powers that be retool that godawful cover.
The most surprising thing out of all this? “Baby Love” actually isn’t a terrible song–its airy acoustic-guitar balladry actually makes me think of some of the tracks on the Siobhan Donaghy album, albeit in more Americanized, “soulfully sung” form, although the recessed vocals on the chorus sound kind of weird, given that they’re supposed to be the big punch of proclaming love and all.
