The Pussycat Dolls are an international sensation with a string of pop/R&B/dance hits including "Don't Cha," "Buttons," and "Stickwitu." While lead doll Nicole Scherzinger has released released a few solo singles, the dance world is focused on Jessica Sutta who has scored number one singles working with dance producers Paul Van Dyk ("White Lies") and Dave Aude ("Make It Last"). Also known as the pin-up doll, Jessica is a big fan of dance music and hopes to become the next Kylie Minogue. With the release of Doll Domination and the dancefloor friendly "When I Grow Up," we anxiously await "If I Was a Man" and the rest of their club ready jams!
DJ Ron Slomowicz: So tell us about the album, how excited are you about it?
Jessica Sutta: I'm so excited about it, it's so great. The album
shows everybody the mature side of the Pussycat Dolls. There's
different realms of music that we delved into and I think people are
going to be really surprised to see how much we've grown as a band and
musically. I can't wait for the world to hear it.
RS: How would you describe the sound of the album?
Jessica Sutta: It's definitely different from the first album. The
album PCD was more pop, this has more of an R&B flavor to it and
gut-wrenching ballads that you wouldn't expect. These are songs that
I believe will have longevity which I think is really rare today.
RS: Which songs do you sing on on the album?
Jessica Sutta: All the girls actually have their own solos. I have a
song called "If I Was A Man," and it comes with the extended edition
of the album. I'm really excited because it's the genre of dance and
that's my favorite type of music ever. So I'm really excited that I
got to do that and express myself on this album.
RS: Very cool. Did you write any songs on the album?
Jessica Sutta: I didn't get a chance to write on the album.
RS: "If I Was A Man" is a dance song, so who did you work with
production-wise on that?
Jessica Sutta: I worked with Ron Fair, he executive-produced it and
his wife, Stephanie Ridel, wrote it. It's really funny because it's a
song about if you were to switch places with your man and you were the
man in the picture and you were treating him the way he treats you.
It's really a fun song to sing, I can't wait to do it live.
