LISTEN TO NEW NICOLE SCHERZINGER WITH "DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH"

Ex-Pussycat Doll babe, Nicole Scherzinger, may have herself a solo hit yet. Whilst Miss Scherz released Poison late last year, well, it kinda hasn't really set the world on fire. Well, not mine anyway... and nor the general public that spend money buying music either. Poison peaked at #3 in the UK - which is a great achievement - but that's about it. Globally. Hmmm.

Let's move forward to 2011 (Poison was sooooo 2010 anyway). Don't Hold Your Breath is (rumoured to be) Nicole's second single to be lifted off her yet-to-titled debut album. We've had a number of versions of the track circle the 'net... instrumental demos, demos with vocals not Nicole's, demos with vocals that are Nicole's but are pre-polishing... and of course, the demo sung by Keri Hilson and Timbaland some time ago.

But alas! Here I have Nicole's version, all polished up like a dirty school floor boards by cheeky kids in after-school detention because they were caught behind the library smoking. Or having sex. One or the other.
I digress.

Don't Hold Your Breath, produced by Dave Aude, is by far a greater pop song than Poison. It's catchy, easy to sing-a-long to (gee, like that's a necessity... bloody Bieber lovers...) and has a lot of potential - if of course it's marketed right and bloody radio / TV stations pick it up. Globally.

Why do I feel like I'm back at square one?

Anywho. Take a listen below and share your thoughts. Me? I love it!
