Cheryl Cole 'listens to own album at home'

Cheryl Cole has revealed that she plays her own album 3 Words at home.

The singer, whose debut solo single 'Fight For This Love' is the fastest-selling track of the year so far, admitted that she wouldn't normally listen to a Girls Aloud album in the same way.

"I wanted to make a record I would listen to at home. I love the Girls Aloud stuff, and I love being part of the band, but I would never come home and put on the record on repeat - but I find myself doing that with this record," she told the BBC.

"Everybody knows that I'm a fan of R&B music. So from the off, really, they knew that that would be the route I'd want to go down, and that I'd want to work with will.i.am.

"I find him fascinating. Fascinating. He's so intelligent and quirky and peculiar. But that's why I love him. We get on like a house on fire."

The 26-year-old, who will release '3 Words' as her second single, admitted that the title track is her favourite song from the album and suits her singing style.

"That's my favourite track! It was the last thing we wrote, and I didn't know how it would sound when Will had put the finishing touches to it. So that was a shock.

"Generally, I have got a low voice that I wouldn't use with the type of music we do with Girls Aloud. So it's been nice to do stuff that's in my key."

Cole's album 3 Words is out now.
