Editor's review
Since she's as renowned for what she wears on stage as what she sings from it, it's little wonder flashy fashionista Gwen Stefani's personal style translates directly to her music. Her pop songs are a sexed-up melee of rockabilly and Rasta influences as well as hints of Harajuku and hip-hop. Initial single "Wind It Up" features a confident mishmash of dub, breakbeat, and hip-hop and centers around a circuslike drumbeat, yodeling (you knew that was coming), and rap-chants. "This beat is for the clubs and cars that go boom!" she cries, which about sums most of her jams.
Biography
GWEN STEFANI ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM AND DVD
DECEMBER 5, 2006 SET FOR SIMULTANEOUS RELEASE OF ALBUM AND LIVE CONCERT DVD
Santa Monica, CA Gwen Stefani will release her second solo album, The Sweet Escape, on December 5, 2006. The new album is the follow-up to 2004's quadruple-platinum Love. Angel. Music. Baby., which included the hits 'Hollaback Girl' and 'What You Waiting For?"
The first single from The Sweet Escape is The Neptunes-produced "Wind It Up". The video will be directed by longtime collaborator Sophie Muller. Other contributors to the album include Akon, Tony Kanal, Nellee Hooper, Sean Garrett, Swizz Beatz, Dave Stewart and Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley.
This album is surprisingly different than the last one. I started recording it last year before Kingston was born and it's definitely evolved over the last year. The dance sound is very now. It's modern not so retro, says the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter.
Simultaneously, Gwen will release the concert DVD Harajuku Lovers Live, filmed during shows in her hometown of Anaheim, CA. The concert was also filmed by Sophie Muller.
Gwen will embark on a U.S. tour in April 2007.
