The album tracks behind the Pussycat Dolls singles
Wait a Minute and I Don't Need a Man belong to the Pussycat Dolls' 2005 debut PCD. When I Grow Up opens another album chapter on Doll Domination in 2008. Heard in those settings, the familiar singles become parts of two deliberately varied recording programmes.
PCD's changing pace
The debut places the more rhythmic tracks beside the softer Stickwitu and the theatrical turns of its closing songs. Its original album sequence gives the group several different ways to occupy a pop arrangement, with the lead vocal adapting to the character of each song.
A larger second statement
Doll Domination carries that variety forward, with When I Grow Up making an especially emphatic entrance. The group is easiest to understand through the movement between these performances: confidence can be a sharp rhythmic phrase, a broad declaration or a quieter melodic decision. The albums allow those different forms to sit beside one another. The singles supply the immediate recognition, while the sequences around them show how much their individual effects depend on contrast.
