In the time between your first and second album, was there a particular lesson that you learned the hard way, as you tried to take on all these tasks?
Nicole: We were just super-excited when we first got signed to Universal and we let everything happen so quickly. We didn't really have any idea of what all was going on. We really didn't understand it. So, I think what we learned this time is to be more hands-on and to really understand what's going on. We're four years older now, and this is a point for us to just know what's going on and understand the business more.
You credit Bryan Leach as having an understanding of your artistic vision. How did you meet Bryan and how did you make that move?
Nicole: When we got out of our deal with Universal, we just wanted to sign with a label that we felt really understood who Nina Sky was. We sat with Bryan Leach. We had dinner and just talked and it just seemed like he had a good grasp of who Nina Sky was and the type of music that we're trying to record. It wasn't about us being Latina; it was about our music and the music we're recording. When we were signed at Universal, it just seemed like they wanted to really capitalize on the whole reggaeton movement. When we met with Bryan, it seemed like a perfect match.
Speaking of the whole reggaeton movement, "Move Ya Body" was a crazy hit. What do you consider the pros and the cons of following up such a big hit like that?
Nicole: I don't think there are any cons. Our fans have set a really high bar for us and we're just trying to top ourselves. "Curtain Call" is the first single off The Musical. It's a different sound, but we feel confident with that song because it represents who we are at this point in our lives.
Is there a particular track that holds a special place in your heart?
Nicole: One of the songs that I really, really like on this album is a song that we just recently recorded called "One Night." It brings out our voices in a way that I've never heard before, so that's why I really like it.
