Music reviews of Sweet Escape (Clean)
Music Review: Fun, but disposable Hip-Hop Pop...
Rating: 3 Stars
WARNING: Some of these tracks are truly disposable.
But Gwen is the queen of just having fun and she usually hits more than missing.
Standout tracks are:
2. The Sweet Escape - Feat. Akon
4. Early Winter
5. Now That You Got It
6. 4 In The Morning
Track 12. Wonderful Life, gets points for being melancholy and original. 4 In The Morning is light Pop fluff, but enjoyable, nonetheless. Now That You Got It is the most fun track here. And The Sweet Escape isn't far behind. My second favorite track behind Now That You Got It is Early Winter. I hear it at work a lot and I love this one!
Gwen's a Libra, and they're all about fun and flirting to the umpth degree.
If you want to have a bit of fun, download the singles or take a chance on the album. It's Darn Catchy!
3.4 stars - .3 for cleanliness.
3.1 stars.
End Note: Most notable though, Early Winter has Gwen crooning through a shining, somewhat withheld truth by the time track 4 comes through. It could very well be her most poignant (poin-yuhnt) solo release ever.
Very honest and upfront; no masks whatsoever.
It also makes for a calming mid-tempo. Thank goodness they play this in the grocery store I work at now. I will listen and know the lyrics from now on!!
Description of Sweet Escape (Clean)
International pressing of the 2006 sophomore album from the No Doubt vocalist featuring one bonus track: 'Wind It Up' (Live . Includes the hot new single 'Wind It Up' and 12 other amazing new tracks. Production and co-writing duties come from an eclectic cast including Pharrell, Nellee Hooper, Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Akon, Tim Rice-Oxley (Keane) and No Doubt?s Tony Kanal. This album sees Gwen once again pushing the boundaries of pop and creating her own cool sound that others will be desperate to follow. Polydor.There's nothing like a Gwen Stefani disc to rip you from your pop comfort zone and, in the pleasantest way possible, knock you around a bit. On The Sweet Escape, the blows arrive roughly every four minutes: a yodel ("Wind It Up") skitters off ceremoniously before the title track, featuring Akon, catches you off guard with its infectious yelps of "Woo-hoo, YEE-hoo!," and the pouty rap of "Orange County Girl" has barely petered out before we're vectored somewhere back toward the '80s with the indie rock-ish "Early Winter." That the sound of these songs doesn't follow a formula--that they pounce wherever they please, without regard for genres or decades--is no big whoop; this is Gwen Stefani, after all, and her up-for-anything, play-along fans probably wouldn't have it any other way. More surprising is the extent to which Stefani inserts what seems to be her genuine self into the music: "4 in the Morning," a Madonna-reminiscent midtempo groover, drops the wide-eyed Betty Boop pose and basks in a rarely plumbed depth of feeling ("I give you everything that I am / I'm handing over everything that I've got / 'cause I wanna have a really true love," she sings with something like sincerity). A single track later, she's owning up to motherhood in the sexiest, most unapologetic way possible: "I know you've been waiting," she pants, "but I've been off making babies / And like a chef making donuts and pastries / It's time to make you sweat." Lyrics don't get much cleverer than the ones to "Breakin' Up," a kiss-off disguised as a dropped cell phone call, and sounds don't get much swizzier than the ones on "Now That You Got It." Which is to say that Gwen's got game--as much as on Love.Angel.Music.Baby, if not more--and that anytime she's prepared to hollaback, the world will do well to listen. --Tammy La Gorce
