This week, [Nicole Scherzinger] announced her forthcoming debut solo album or, as she put it, “a miracle of Haiti’s disaster”: she had met the album’s producer at the recording of a charity single for Haiti. “The one good thing to come from that tragedy,” she suggested, “was my music”, which will doubtless come as considerable comfort to relatives of the 316,000 people who died, the 1.6 million left homeless and the 3,500 affected by a subsequent outbreak of cholera. Obviously they’re suffering, but with the news that Scherzinger got a “raw, soulful and funky” solo album out of it, at least their suffering isn’t in vain.
