Nicole Prescovia Elikolani Valiente Scherzinger (can we take a moment for the name?) has a new song coming out called “Poison.”
You can call it a ‘comeback’ if you want, but…let’s face it: She hasn’t scratched the charts enough as a solo artist to consider this anything other than a FORMAL DEBUT.
“Poison” is:
+ Produced by RedOne, in a very obvious, repetitive banger-of-a-chorus sort of way.
+ Very noisy in the verses, in a mainstream M.I.A. /\/\/\Y/\ sort of way.
+ About deadly contagions, in a vastly-inferior-to-Britney‘s “Toxic” sort of way.
+ Somehow catchy, or at least this part is: “I got that poison (uh huh), I got that poison (uh huh), I got that poison, that poison on my mind!”
+ Not nearly as amazing as “Whatever U Like,” which remains Nicole Scherzinger’s greatest song of all time.
In conclusion: It’ll do, but it won’t do anything for her either. (Well, maybe in the UK…)
“Poison” will be released on November 29.
