'She is in a totally different place in her life from when she wrote the album, so it's been shelved.
'Nicole feels like it would make no sense to release it now, so long after they wrote the songs.

Speaking last week, Nicole said: 'I'd love to do some interesting films, some really bold, daring roles.
"I'd love to do a movie musical. Music, still. I wanna just do stuff that shows all of me and continue to do singular stuff like this show is.'
With plenty of offers on the table, I'm sure we'll hear her singing again on stage or screen soon.
But when it comes to pop tracks, to quote her No1 hit, Don't Hold Your Breath.

Major health advice for Oasis fans as Covid ‘superspreader' fears grow just days before Croke Park gigs
CROWD RISK Major health advice for Oasis fans as Covid 'superspreader' fears grow just days before Croke Park gigs MAJOR health advice has been issued to Oasis fans ahead of the weekend. The excitement is building for more than 160,000 concertgoers who are heading to Croke Park for the band's highly-anticipated reunion shows. Advertisement 2 A major health warning has been issued ahead of this weekend Credit: Getty 2 Fans are being urged to remain vigilant as Covid continues to spread Credit: Getty Images - Getty Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to take to the stage in Dublin on Saturday, August 16, and Sunday, August 17, in what promises to be one of the biggest music weekends of the year. But with just four days to go, fans are being urged to remain vigilant as Covid - and in particular the new Stratus variant - continues to spread. Ireland recorded 453 new Covid cases last week alone, with health officials confirming that the latest XFG strain is responsible for more than two-thirds of recent infections. According to the Irish Mirror, the illness has already been reported at London's Wembley Stadium during Oasis's recent five-night run there. Advertisement Knightswood Pharmacy's Akash Sood warned: "New strands of Covid can infect thousands within metres of one another, so wear a mask if concerned, be safe and enjoy the return of Oasis." One of the more unusual early symptoms of the Stratus variant is a rough or raspy voice. However, this is something that could easily be mistaken as a result of singing along to Oasis hits all night. Harley Street GP and Founder of Hannah London Clinic, Dr Kaywaan Khan, told Cosmopolitan UK that "one of the most noticeable symptoms of the Stratus variant is hoarseness, which includes a scratchy or raspy voice." Advertisement Ireland's current public health guidance remains clear: Anyone displaying symptoms should isolate until they have been symptom-free for at least 48 hours. The HSE continues to encourage people to avoid close contacts with others, particularly those who are more vulnerable, and to stay alert for the wide range of potential Covid symptoms. Fans flood Edinburgh from all over the world for final Oasis gig at Murrayfield Fans are also expected to be basking in sunshiiine this weekend as dry weather and above average temperatures are expected for the two monster Croke Park gigs. However it won't be all Champagne Supernova on the weather front for fans as Met Eireann warned that showers are more likely during the Sunday - but concertgoers will just need to Roll With It as the drizzle will be short-lived. Advertisement Met Eireann forecaster Aoife Kealy told The Irish Sun: "Saturday is probably the best day to see Oasis. It's going to be dry with some good sunshine on Saturday. "The highs on Saturday will be 23 or 24 degrees, which are above average for August. MIXED BAG "Even when Oasis are coming off stage at 10.30pm, it will still be 17 or 18 degrees which is still hot and humid. "The chances are it's still going to stay dry and bright when Oasis are on stage and the winds will be light." Advertisement While Met Eireann predict dry weather for the second Oasis concert, fans will have to prepare for a Sunday Morning Call as the skies won't be as clear overhead. Forecaster Aoife said there is a chance fans attending the gig on Sunday will Cast No Shadow with the sun out less. She told us: "You're still seeing dry weather but Sunday will be that bit cloudier than Saturday. "There is definitely more chance of a shower on Sunday. From 8pm onwards you could see a couple of showers but I stress they will only be passing."

Clara, 41, said: 'The start of 2023, I was in the flipping trenches. 'I was burnt out, I wasn't taking care of myself properly and I think I was a bit overwhelmed by life's injustices. I just wasn't feeling great and I was in a bit of a negative headspace.' She continued: 'I was feeling really, really depressed sort of mid 2023 and I took some time off radio, and just had to have a little reset. That is when I decided I was going to leave my show.' In her interview with Fearne Cotton on the podcast, she also spoke about the pressure to 'get the next viral clip' while working on the show. Clara said: 'I had mixed reactions. Obviously are bosses, who are lovely, were like 'but why.' 'I'm one of these people where I am so passionate about what I do that I never want to resent anything, I don't want anything to feel like it's forced or a chore. 'And I want to be able to listen to music always as a fan, rather than as a business, and I want to be able to talk to people on a human level without thinking 'got to get that viral interview clip.'' Clara quit Radio 1 in 2023, and said at the time: "I'm so proud of the work I've been able to do on every show, whether it's been from the 8th floor, a city in the UK or a pop star's house across the pond.
