Nicole Scherzinger - Nino Munoz Photoshoot 2011

Killer Love is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Nicole Scherzinger, former lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls. It was released from March 18, 2011 by Interscope Records, in association with its affiliated record labels. Scherzinger began recording the album in 2005, under the title Her Name Is Nicole, and was originally due for release in 2007. However unsuccessful singles and poor timing led the project being pushed back numerous times into 2008 and 2009. Scherzinger would then go on to shelve the album, citing bad timing and creative issues as the reasons for its cancellation. In 2010, following the release of the Pussycat Dolls' second album Doll Domination, Scherzinger enlisted Moroccan producer RedOne to produce material for her debut album.

Completed in 2011 and titled Killer Love, Scherzinger's debut album features a combination of up-tempo club songs, as well as mid-tempo and down-tempo ballads. The songs contain elements of rock, soul and funk music and Scherzinger specifically selected songs and productions which would suit being performed live. Amongst the fourteen-song set are two collaborations, one with Enrique Iglesias, and one with Sting, which was leftover from the Her Name is Nicole recording sessions. RedOne and his associates produced almost half of the album, while the rest was produced by the likes of Jim Jonsin, StarGate, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart and Boi-1da amongst others.
