Beauty Nicole Scherzinger has revealed how she discovers new artists and confessed that she uses her 'me time' to play through new albums by different rising stars. 

During an interview with Kiss FM, Scherzinger admitted that she goes on 'self-dates' and uses the quality time to listen to music by new and upcoming artists, and recently discovered 'Money On My Mind' singer Sam Smith that way:

"An artist that I'm particularly inspired by this year is Sam Smith. I have these, I call them dates, self-dates when I fly a lot. When I get on a flight, I have a glass of wine or two and I always buy a new album, and I listen to the artist and recently I bought Sam's album and I just couldn't let it go."

"I don't know if it was the album and a combination of the glass of wine or two, but I was just in it, with him. God, that album's killer, I'm really excited for him."

Scherzinger went onto add: "My friend, Caroline Flack, actually turned me onto him because I was here a year ago and I was like 'I don't really know anybody here' and she was like 'come on I'm going to take you to Shoreditch' and she took me to go see Sam perform."
