The Pussycat Dolls are back (and I had 'em when they were new)

Grammy-nominated pop superstars The Pussycat Dolls exploded on the pop music scene in the summer of 2005 with their worldwide #1 hit “Don’t Cha.” I interviewed PCD's Carmit in October of that month (see that interview after the jump - yeah, I made a 'dontcha' comment but hey, this was three years ago when it was still fresh!) and nobody could ever have guessed that they would have enjoyed the level of success that came their way.

Their debut album, PCD, has sold over 7 million copies internationally on the strength of hit singles like “Buttons,” “Stickwitu” and “Beep.” They’ve toured the globe as a headline act, shared the stage with the likes of The Black Eyed Peas and Christina Aguilera, and picked up a slew of awards along the way.

Now it’s time for Chapter 2 …

The Pussycat Dolls are giving the world fair warning…it’s time for global domination. On September 16, 2008, Nicole, Ashley, Jessica, Melody and Kimberly will release their sophomore album, Doll Domination, the follow-up to PCD, the international smash album that announced their arrival.

On Doll Domination The Pussycat Dolls collaborate with the hottest producers in music: Timbaland, Cee-Lo and Sean Garrett (among others). The album’s first single, the Rodney Jerkins-produced “When I Grow Up” is exploding across the country. The Dolls recently performed the song on “The MTV Movie Awards” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and FOX’s hit “So You Think You Can Dance.” The hot-as-fire video (directed by Joseph Kahn) premiered on MTV’s “FNMTV Premieres” on June 13th.
