NICOLE SCHERZINGER has axed plans to drop an album with Naughty Boy after hitting the big time on Broadway.
Last week she became the toast of theatreland when she was named Best Leading Actress at the Tony Awards for Sunset Boulevard.
Now I’m told the success has led her to scrap an entire record, titled Warrior, which she self-funded and created with producer Naughty Boy prior to landing her role as Norma Desmond in the hit musical.
My music insider said: “Nicole spent a fortune from her own pocket working on this album.
“She was really driven and spent weeks in the studio with Naughty Boy and they came up with some really cool ideas.
“Things were really coming together and she was hunting for a team to release it when Sunset Boulevard came along.
“The plan was to revisit the album after the West End run finished last year, but the show ended up going to Broadway and now she has loads of exciting offers on the table.
“She is in a totally different place in her life from when she wrote the album, so it’s been shelved.
“Nicole feels like it would make no sense to release it now, so long after they wrote the songs.
“She might still do something with the songs at some point, as a treat for fans, but at the moment it’s been left behind.”
In April 2022, she debuted track Never Going Back which she said would be on an upcoming EP called Warrior.
But after getting back in the studio, she delayed the release and decided to turn the project into a full album.
She then teased that she had been working with her pal Naughty Boy, who has collaborated with Beyonce and Ed Sheeran.
It was due to be her first solo album since 2014’s Big Fat Lie and came after the Pussycat Dolls’ reunion and new music was scrapped.
Speaking last week, Nicole said: “I’d love to do some interesting films, some really bold, daring roles.
“I’d love to do a movie musical. Music, still. I wanna just do stuff that shows all of me and continue to do singular stuff like this show is.”
With plenty of offers on the table, I’m sure we’ll hear her singing again on stage or screen soon.
But when it comes to pop tracks, to quote her No1 hit, Don’t Hold Your Breath.
