Hey.Hazim Here...again. Here's the music video that I said I'd post. It's of GwenStefani's latest poofy creation "Wind It Up', a single about....winding it up? Whatever. The video fits the song cuz it's so ridiculous. Eeven Billboard magazine called it " a musical brain aneurysm'.Well, try your best to enjoy the video. For me, it was like being spun too fast on a merry-go-round ride. The song itself is creative but lackluster, falling behind 'London Bridge' in the race to be the next HollabackGirl copycat song. Gwen Stefani 2006 trying to catch up with GwenStefani 2005? Hope she releases TheSweetEscape, the song soon. That one should ave been a first single. "Wind It Up" shouldnt even be on the album.Hazim.Out.
Hey.Hazim Here...again. Who loved Love.Angel.Music.Baby? For some, it made them wish Gwen was still playing Ska Queen with No Doubt. Fr others it was amazing to see Gwen Stefani take the spotlight on her own. Whatever you thought,that album spawned 6 hit singles and a Billboard Hot 100 number one hit with "Hollaback Girl", something pop tart Fergie tried to emulate with her own number one hit, "London Bridge". Is the real thing better than a copycat? Well, judging from Gwen Stefani's first single taken off her new solo album TheSweetEscape, maybe not. I mean, when I first heard the song "Wind It Up" on radio, I thought "UhOh...Someone forgot to take her medication". Kudos to her for trying to fuse The Sound Of Music with the sound of Gwen and she's not that bad a yodeler, but the single is just ALL OVER THE PLACE. It sounds rushed and after hearing the track "The SweetEscape", I think it's a much better first single than "Wind It Up". In fact,"Wind It Up" shouldnt even be on the track listing for the full album. Regardless,the single will do well because after all....it IS Gwen Stefani we're talking about. The album cover looks cool though but some of the tracks listed to appear on the album sound a bit cheesy. So Gwen Sefani will have to take a backseat while Fergie,Nelly Furtado and the rest of the genre-bending femme fatales take over....maybe? Not sure.Too early to tell. I DO know one thing though: NO DOUBT NEED TO REFORM...PLEASE? Hazim.Out. TRACK LISTING FOR THE SWEET ESCAPE
