| | [Release Notes]
| |
| At first glance, this release seems more than a little strange. After |
| scoring their biggest hit of the Doll Domination era with 'Jai Ho! (You |
| Are My Destiny)' - a bandwagon-jumping dance track recorded several |
| months after the album came out - the next move seemed obvious for the |
| Pussycat Dolls. Tack the Slumdog-sampling smash onto the end of the |
| original album, add a couple more new tunes and call it a 'Deluxe |
| Edition'. |
| |
| Instead, their label's assembled a six-track 'Mini Album' featuring 'Jai |
| Ho!', each of the Doll Domination singles (the pneumatic 'When I Grow |
| Up', the melodramatic 'I Hate This Part', the slinky, Missy Elliott- |
| assisted 'Whatcha Think About That') and that obligatory pair of new |
| tracks. 'Painted Windows' is an impressive new Rodney Jerkins |
| production, stomping and scuzzy in equal measure, while 'Hush Hush; Hush |
| Hush' is a faintly ridiculous house remix of a Doll Domination album |
| cut. It now comes complete with a whopping great lift from 'I Will |
| Survive', but somehow it works. |
| |
| First impressions notwithstanding, in an age where music fans can |
| download what they fancy on a track-by-track basis, the 'Mini |
| Collection' actually starts to make sense. For 3.99 on iTunes, or just |
| under a fiver in the shops, you get a fat-free serving of Pussycat hits |
| without the padding that bogged down the original Doll Domination. |
| Equally, if this is the last non-single PCD release - and those |
| "featuring Nicole Scherzinger" credits are pretty ominous - it makes a |
| fitting end to their chart reign. Well, how would you rather remember |
| them - as a fairly anonymous pop group who released a couple of patchy |
| albums, or as a very good singles act? |
