You mentioned Rodney Jerkins. You've also got Timbaland on here. Those are some heavyweight producers. What's it like getting into the studio and working with cats like that?
Well, I had the pleasure of working with Rodney in the studio. A lot of the songs are recorded by Nicole beforehand, and if there are any parts that I can fit in on, then I just go in. It just depends. For the song "Whatcha Think About That," I recorded with Ron Fair. So you know, it's one of those things. Of course they're all talented and fun people to be around. Especially Rodney. We were so blessed to work with him on this record. Nicole works hand in hand with a lot of the producers, but for me it worked out the way it worked out.
I know on the Deluxe Edition of the album, you've got your solo jam, "Space." What was that like?
We all got to do songs on the Deluxe album, so that was good. It's definitely good for the fans to get their share of all the Pussycat Dolls and get to have sounds from everybody. On the Deluxe album, we all got to do our own songs, and I did a song called "Space," with Ron Fair. I've got responses that it sounds like SWV, or it sounds like JoJo. But luckily all the responses have been good.
Speaking of getting to do your own thing and working on solo stuff, you lost a member earlier this year. How did the group react to going from six to five?
It's tough to spend years of your life with people. It's not just people you work with, it's your family. You're on the road with them, and you're working with them. It's not like somebody who works at Starbucks with you and they quit. It was definitely a hard blow because she and I were very tight. She had a lot of ambitions and aspirations that she thought she wanted to pursue, and we support her one hundred percent. I still talk to her. She's doing great actually. Of course it's a toll, because they are people you're used to being around all the time.
I've seen some TV shows and heard some tales of other groups that don't have that same familial bond. How do you guys keep it all love, when you're working hard and everybody's stressed, and everybody's got ambitions and goals?
I think because everybody did it together. Everybody put the Pussycat Dolls on a platform, and it's a great one. While the train is moving, we're going to stay onboard. Obviously, it's what the fans want. We wouldn't be here without them. For the most part, we all support each other. It just wouldn't be fun or worth it to be here if everybody was catty and it was all about competition, cause that's all bad. We each have a real connection, and we each have loyalty and respect for one another.
Do you have plans to do something totally solo down the road?
Yes. We all have plans, but I'm going to sing. That's what I'm going to do.
As far as the upcoming tour, what can fans expect to see visually? Is there a theme we can expect?
Well, that is something we'll have to discuss with all of the Pussycat Dolls camp, but as of right now, the fans can expect things that the Pussycat Dolls have produced. We're definitely trying to take over the world, in a sense, considering the title of the album. We're just trying to dominate.
