Grade: C+
Beginning with the thumping and infectious “Poison,” the gorgeous Nicole Scherzinger, considered the “voice” of former girl-group Pussycat Dolls, delivers a solid pop album with “Killer Love.” Most of the songs on the album repackage familiar melodies with different lyrics, including standout tracks “Wet” and “Casualty,” but terrible imitations hinder it. Scherzinger fails miserably on “Right There.” Scherzinger sheds much of PCD’s raw sex appeal and trades it in for something more classy, as seen on her duet with Sting, “Power’s Out” and “Say Yes.” Other killer tracks include “Casualty” and “Heartbeat.”
