Coyle 'creating more buzz' than Cole

Nadine Coyle is outshining her Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Cole as they both attempt to launch solo careers, it has been reported.

According to the Daily Star Sunday, three top record labels are currently bidding to snap up the Irish singer. She is expected to start work on her solo project later this year.

Meanwhile, X Factor judge Cole recently flew out to Los Angeles to record her forthcoming album. It is believed that she has been back in the studio with Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am in recent days.

A source revealed: "The band recently declared there'd be three more Girls Aloud albums. For the next year they're doing their own thing but Nadine is the one creating the biggest buzz in the industry.

"It looks like Universal - a subdivision of the Girls Aloud label Fascination - will produce Nadine's solo shot. But whoever wins her will have to pay a lot because everyone's desperate to sign her. She will get an amazing deal as a result of shopping around."

Girls Aloud completed their 'Out Of Control' tour in June with a final show in Cole's home city of Newcastle.
