Scherzinger Songs 'Inspired By Hamilton Break Up'

Nicole Scherzinger is taking inspiration from her recent break-up.

The Pussycat Dolls leading lady is currently working on her debut solo album and according to a friend, her split from former boyfriend Lewis Hamilton this month is having a big impact when it comes to writing her songs.

The pal told Hello! magazine: "The record is building a new Pussycat Dolls around Nicole and she wasn't prepared to sacrifice this. They say heartbreak is good for creativity and, since splitting, Nicole has written a couple of tortured love songs for her new solo album."

Nicole will also be working on a new Pussycat Dolls album this year, featuring a new line-up.
