Doll Domination is the second studio album from United States American girlgroup Pussycat Dolls, released from September 19, 2008 by A&M Records. The album debuted at number four on the US album chart, selling 79,000 copies in its first week.
MTV initially reported that the album would be called "To Those Who Wait" but later The Dolls would go on to say in an interview that the album would now be named Doll Domination after receiving many requests from fans. From mid 2006 production began with Rodney Jerkins, Sean Garrett and Timbaland with The Clutch. Initially the process was slow as lead singer Nicole Scherzinger was supposed to release her own solo project Her Name Is Nicole whilst production was ongoing. However the album did not materialize after Scherzinger had four failed US singles (despite "Baby Love" being successful in Europe).Consequently "When I Grow Up", "Who's Gonna Love You" and "Happily Never After" which were originally songs from the solo project became songs for Doll Domination. Lead Doll Nicole Scherzinger spoke about the release on reality show Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For the Next Doll where she name-dropped and performed a fourth song "Just Say Yes" recorded for her own solo album. After being scrapped the song was placed on the early tracklistings for the Dolls album by MTV, Amazon and HMV but never made the actual release.
Critical reception
The album has received mostly average to negative reviews from critics. It earned a collective score of 51 out of 100 on Metacritic.
August Brown of the Los Angeles Times, states that the album does not live up to its 2005 predecessor, and gave the album one and a half stars out of five.
Digital Spy said that "Doll Domination is an over-long, patchy album that lacks any kind of lyrical cohesion. This isn't to say that individual tracks don't hit the spot. Nothing here matches the hyperactive brilliance of 'When I Grow Up', but future single 'I Hate This Part' is wonderfully melodramatic and each of the four Timbaland productions is bang on the money. Overall 3/5 stars".
