NEW MUSIC FROM PCD LEAD SINGER
Just because Pussycat lead singer Nicole Scherzinger has been doing so well on Dancing with the Stars doesn’t mean that she’s forgotten her musical roots. According to Rap-Up.com, the original PCD just released a song called “Nobody Can Change Me.” It’s supposedly on her long-delayed solo album, originally titled Her Name is Nicole, which was due in 2008. The website reports that the project is getting reworked to be more pop-centered, as opposed to the urban feel it once had.
