Background

[edit]

Following the release of 2014's Big Fat Lie, Scherzinger continued with a number of other ventures including a West End debut as Grizabella in the musical Cats.[1] Between 2015-2018 Scherzinger also made also won celebrity variety TV show I Can Do That (2015), performed American national anthem at A Capitol Fourth concert and for the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games, as well as co-hosting US variety show Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris and appearing as a panellist on British gameshow Bring the Noise.[2][3][4][5][5] She would also go on to return to the judging panel for series thirteen and fourteen of British singing competition The X Factor.[6][7] Scherzinger would also make movie appearances including a critically praised appearance in television-film Dirty Dancing (a remake of the 1997 film of the same name), voicing the character Sina in Disney's Moana and the animated film Ralph Breaks the Internet.[8][9][10]

In 2019, Scherzinger would appear as a judge on the US reality TV show The Masked Singer, the season 9 of Australia's Got Talent and The Band and Celebrity spin-offs of the The X Factor.[11][12][13][14] It was during her appearance on the latter, that Scherzinger confirmed the reformation of the Pussycat Dolls and performed a medley of hits as well as new song "React".[15] The single was released in 2020.[16] Scherzinger also voiced Miranda Trese for Netflix series Trese and played Grace Farrell for Annie Live! a television adaption of 1977 musical Annie.[17][18] Despite intending to tour the UK and Ireland with the Pussycat Dolls, the COVID-19 pandemic and contractual disputes between Scherzinger and group founder Robin Antin, in 2021-22, led to the group's second disbandment.[19][20]

Shortly after in April that same year, Scherzinger held a three-night musical showcase at The Sun Rose, Hollywood. During the event, Scherzinger sang a number of musical theatre productions, as well as announcing a return to solo music. Speaking about the event, Scherzinger said "It was important people get to see me in this intimate setting, to truly hear me, and experience my love and connection of music through singing. … to create a space for me where I can live out my full potential as an artist, without having to be defined by any style or genre of music." She also confirmed the release of a new EP of music, The Warrior and debuted one of it's songs "Never Going Back". She also confirmed that she remains unsigned at the time of writing.[21]
