Los Angeles, July 11 (IANS): Singer Nichole Scherzinger says Sam Smith's hit album "In the Lonely Hour" inspired her to get emotionally raw in her new album.
Titled "Your Love", the singer's latest offering will feature plenty of songs about love and heartbreak, which she thinks her female fans will find relatable, reports contactmusic.com.
"He did a spectacular job of cutting straight to the heartstrings. I had many dates with the album on and a glass of wine. There's this unbelievable cry, but strength at the same time. That's what I'm aiming for," she said.
"This album is about the women I am, the women I'm not and the woman I want to be. There's a lot of stuff on my album girls can relate to. You gotta be in the slums and have a broken heart, that's when music transports you and heals," she added.
Nicole, however, clarified her songs about heartbreak aren't a reflection on her relationship with Lewis Hamilton.
"I'm an artist, he doesn't come into it. I'm sure if he heard some of the music, he would be able to relate to it as anybody would," she said.
