Doll Domination is the second and final studio album by American

J-Roc and Chase N. Cashe. Polow da Don, R. Kelly and Snoop Dogg also make guest performances on the album. Several songs on Doll Domination were originally recorded for the lead singer Nicole Scherzinger
's debut solo album, Her Name is Nicole, which was shelved after the under-performance of its preceding singles.

The album consists of a mixture of

background vocals. Upon release, Doll Domination received mixed reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 becoming the group's highest-charting album. It experienced similar peaks in international territories, debuting at number three in Canada and number four in Australia and on the United Kingdom albums chart. Doll Domination was later reissued in multiple versions throughout 2009. The album was supported with a world tour titled Doll Domination Tour
in 2009.

The album was preceded by the release of the US Billboard Hot 100 top-ten single "When I Grow Up" and the UK top-ten hit "Whatcha Think About That" (featuring Missy Elliott). Other successful singles were "I Hate This Part", "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)", and "Hush Hush; Hush Hush", all of which reached the top ten in numerous countries worldwide. Although "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" became a number-one hit in Australia, Ireland, Finland, among other countries, the single caused tension within the group as Scherzinger was billed as a featured artist. Despite their commercial success, unhappiness of Scherzinger's spotlight and prominence within the group grew leading to a public outburst by Thornton during the tour. In early 2010, the group disbanded to pursue solo projects, before reforming in 2019 with the promise of new music. In 2019, the R. Kelly collaboration "Out of This Club" was removed from digital retailers and streaming services, following the airing of the Surviving R. Kelly documentary and subsequent abuse allegations against the singer.

Background

The Pussycat Dolls debut album

The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll premiered in March 2007 with the aim to add a seventh member to the group. Asia Nitollano was relieved to be the winner but quit shortly after the finale to pursue a solo career.[4]

Meanwhile, lead singer Nicole Scherzinger was preparing to launch her solo career via the release of her debut album, Her Name is Nicole. It was tentatively set for June 2007.[5] The album was met with multiple delays due to poor commercial reception of its singles.[6] Several other members ventured into works outside the group. Ashley Roberts made her film debut in Make It Happen (2008),[7] Jessica Sutta collaborated with Dave Audé ("Make It Last") and Paul van Dyk ("White Lies"),[8] and Melody Thornton was featured on Jibbs' single "Go Too Far".[9] In March 2008, Carmit Bachar announced via the group's website that she had left the group intending to pursue a solo career.[10] At the time of her departure, she had been the longest member of the group, joining in 1995 when they were a burlesque act.[11] On March 10, they performed for the first time without Bachar for the Operation MySpace concert which honored US troops stationed in Kuwait.[12]

Development

Her Name is Nicole sessions

To minimize expenses,

will.i.Am and Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody. She sought to establish herself as a versatile artist, separate from her identity as the group's lead singer, showcasing facets of her personality that had not been fully explored.[16] "Happily Never After" and "Who's Gonna Love You" where included in the final tracklist of the album.[17] The latter was written by Scherzinger, Polow da Don, and, Kara DioGuardi. It was first previewed in Scherzinger's website in February 2008.[18] The former was one of the two songs Ne-Yo gave to Scherzinger after being originally written for Britney Spears.[6] During an interview with The Guardian Ne-Yo recounted his experience writing songs for Spears and explained there were multiple scheduled sessions where she was supposed to provide input on the tracks, but she never attended. Ne-Yo continued working on the songs until Spears' widely publicized head-shaving incident where her team stopped responding. During this period, he met Scherzinger. After news broke that Scherzinger recorded the song, Spears' management wondered why he gave away the song, to which Ne-Yo replied, "It may've been written with Britney in mind, but it's not hers."[19]

Another song written with Spears in mind was "

Rock City songwriters re-wrote the lyrics with Scherzinger in mind.[21] The song would be eventually be released as the lead single of Doll Domination. Another future single, "I Hate This Part" was conceived during a writing session for British singer Leona Lewis by Wayne Hector, Lucas Secon, Jonas Jeberg, and Mich Hansen.[22] It was sent to Scherzinger, after Ron Fair requested it for the Pussycat Dolls.[23] During the recording process, Scherzinger was vocally inspired by rock singers Sting and Steve Perry.[24]

Focus on the Pussycat Dolls

In February 2008, the group's founder

KonLive Distribution, who was also contracted to write for the group. Experiencing writer's block, he contacted producer RedOne and together they created "Just Dance". They presented it to Iovine who briefly suggested that the song be given to the group, but Akon felt the song belonged to Gaga.[30] Green produced "Love Gun" for the album, however it wasn't included in the final track listing.[27] Scherzinger described the song as having 60s and 70s influences while the vocals were compared to Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin.[21] The song was later included in his own studio album, The Lady Killer (2010) with vocals featuring Lauren Bennett.[31] Thornton released her version that same year.[32]

Composition

Doll Domination is a dance-pop album,[33] with dance, electronic, and R&B elements.[34][35] Critics noted that it follows the same formula as their debut album; self-assuring themes, sultry lyrics and thumping dance beats.[36] Thornton describes describes the album as vocally diverse, that blends R&B, hip-hop, slow jams, alternative, and soft rock. It aims to showcase group's vocal abilities while evolving musically with more mature themes, like in "I Hate This Part".[37]

Songs

Doll Domination opens with "When I Grow Up", an

80s influences,[51] reminiscent of Janet Jackson's music.[49]

"Happily Never After" is an acoustic ballad,

J-Pop influences with a style reminiscent of Tim Burton and Danny Elfman.[47] Scherzinger playfully challenges her competitors about her fashion choices and her partner's qualities.[40] The song stands out as the only one where she directly engages with other women.[49] The standard edition of Doll Domination closes with "I'm Done", a soft and gentle ballad.[57]

Bonus tracks

"Lights, Camera, Action" features New Kids on the Block, with an alternate solo version is featured on their The Block (2008) album.[58] It has a soft, airy quality,[59] where the groups sing about doing a homemade porn recording.[58] In "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" the group draws from their burlesque influences when it came to re-recording the classic standard.[35] The album additionally features J. R. Rotem's remix of Scherzinger's "Baby Love". The original version is a folk-tinged R&B ballad where she uses a southern twang whilst singing romantical lyrics.[60] On the European double-disc deluxe version of the album, each member was credited to a solo track. The first new track on the second disc is Sutta's "If I Was a Man". It's a dance track that explores the idea of switching roles with a man, imagining how it would feel to treat him the same way he treats her.[61] "Space" sang by Thornton follows, was distinguished for her melismatic vocal runs. Wyatt's cover of Jane Child’s "Don't Wanna Fall in Love" stays true to the original, replicating the backing track closely.[34] The second CD rounds up with Roberts' "Played" and Scherzinger's "Until U Love U".[62]

Four new songs were introduced in the 2009 reissues of the album including, "Top of the World".[63] "Hush Hush; Hush Hush", a house music remix of the song "Hush Hush". It incorporates elements of Gloria Gaynor's 1978 disco song "I Will Survive".[64] "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" is a pop interpretation of the original Hindi song "Jai Ho" that was included on the soundtrack to the film Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Musically, song preserves the original's electronic dance beats, Japanese taiko drums, and Hindi melodies with vocals of a rough English translation of the Hindi lyrics, sung by Scherzinger.[65] "Painted Windows" was described as having a stomping and distorted sound.[64]

Marketing

Title and artwork

In June 2008, the album's title was revealed on the group's official website.

Idolator saw the cover as a step for the four members besides Scherzinger "to finally break through and maybe, someday, have personalities of their own."[67]

Doll Domination was first released in Germany on September 19, 2008.

MTV Australia commented although "confusing [...] releasing a succinct package of the better songs from 'Doll Domination' is actually the smartest move they've made for a while." He ended the review by writing, "while it's looking increasingly unlikely that the group will survive to a third album, this mini-greatest hits makes for a fitting send-off."[73]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 51, which indicates "mixed or average reviews", based on 12 reviews.[120] Writing for Billboard, Mariel Concepcion provided a favorable review, opining that the album has all "the elements (self-assuring themes, sultry lyrics and lots of skin-tight latex) to mimic the victory of [PCD]."[36] Steve Jones of USA Today agreed with Concepcion, but added they are "more interested in pushing their brand than pushing boundaries".[123] Writing for Slant Magazine, Sal Cinquemani found that "it was smart to spotlight the, talents of the other pussycats" following the cancellation of Her Name is Nicole.[34] Writing for The Washington Post, Allison Stewart noted that Scherzinger has "more of a central role" and viewed Doll Domination as "a consolation prize" after the multiple delays on her solo album.[124] Jon Pareles of The New York Times noted that the ballads "are a move toward expanding the franchise" seeking "a little empathy along with the attitude".[40] In a more mixed review, Rolling Stone's Christian Hoard singled out several songs but concluded that the record "sounds like the Dolls just threw everything they had against the charts to see if anything would stick."[33]

Elan Priya of The Times wrote that the album "lacks any distinct personality".[125] August Brown from the Los Angeles Times noted that the tracks don't come "within [the] sniffing distance of 'Don't Cha,' [...] Instead, they act out as a "a series of signifiers to other, more interesting, moments in recent pop culture.".[41] Likewise, Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe stated that the album does not live up to their debut album PCD.[126] Margeaux Watson of Entertainment Weekly graded the album a C− criticizing Doll Domination's longevity "especially for a group that brazenly emphasizes style over substance."[121] Glenn Gamboa of Newsday wrote, "as far as music is concerned, they are not the dominators, they are the dominated," adding that "they sound like they are at the mercy of their songwriters and producers, making for huge swings in quality.[122] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic found it ironic that a group coming from a burlesque revue sings songs about "empowerment, heartbreak, love, fame and wealth, but never about sex." He ended his review writing, "it's a lot better to hear pinups sing a song of striptease than a song of love."[68] Nic Oliver from MusicOMH was also more negative of the record, opining that it is an "album heading straight for the bargain bins" under the file "dispiriting".[35] Katie Toms of The Guardian criticised the album for being "aimed at five-year-old girls".[127]

On his list of the five worst albums of 2008, Chris Willman from Entertainment Weekly placed Doll Domination fifth, criticizing the song's "double entendres" aimed at their "target audience of 15-year-olds".[128] IGN ranked Doll Domination third on their list of the ten worst albums, commenting that it the "record stands out because it is so exceptionally retched."[129] It was voted as the third worst album in the 2008 Popjustice Readers' Poll.[130]

Thank you for supporting me, even if I'm not featured" referring to the billing of the song, and encouraging the audience to follow their dreams and to "never let anyone stomp on them, ever."[153] Less than a year later, the group formerly disbanded following an initial hiatus.[154]

Notes
  • ^a signifies a co-producer
  • ^b signifies a vocal producer
  • ^c signifies an additional producer
  • ^d *"Out of This Club" has been removed from digital stores and streaming services as of January 20, 2019 due to the sexual abuse allegations against R. Kelly.[160]
  • ^e The bonus tracks are appended at the end of the second disk on the deluxe edition, instead of the first.
  • ^f "Lights, Camera, Action" appears as the seventeenth track on the Japanese edition of the album, prior to "Baby Love (J.R. remix)". However, in selected European territories and the Australian edition, "Lights, Camera, Action" appears while "Baby Love (J.R. remix)" is omitted from the album. All other regional editions include "Baby Love (J.R. remix)" as the seventeenth track, and instead omit "Lights, Camera, Action".
  • ^g *"Baby Love (J.R. remix)” is credited to being performed by Nicole Scherzinger featuring will.i.am on digital editions of the album, but on physical editions there is no mention of alternative performers besides The Pussycat Dolls, there also is no listing of it being the J.R. remix of the song. The Japan edition of the album, however, does list both that it's the J.R. remix and that it features will.i.am. Although, it still does not give reference to being by Nicole Scherzinger, as opposed to the Pussycat Dolls.
  • "When I Grow Up" samples "He's Always There" as written by Jim McCarty and Paul Samwell-Smith performed by the Yardbirds.
  • "Whatcha Think About That" samples "Je M'appelle Jane" as written by Mickael Furnon performed by Jane Birkin.
