New Gwen Stefani - "Wind It Up"
Discobelle's got the first single from Gwen's forthcoming The Sweet Escape (out 12/5). Give her (or the Neptunes?) points for unpredictability: that sample's from Sound Of Music's "The Lonely Goatherd." And yes, there's yodelling! As for the lyrics, nothing new: they're about dancing, fucking, and John Galliano. On a scale of 1 to Shit Is Bananas, "Wind It Up" gets only a 4. But the bright side will be watching Fergie try to sample "Edelweiss" before XMas.

Isn't she like 35 and a mother now? You'd think her music might grow up a little, too.

like madonna's "hung up" this song would be nuffin without the sample.
the happy mondays did the whole yodelling thing way back in like '91 or something, as anyone who's seen 24hr party people will attest.
not a bad song for a skanky groupie.

Edmonton's Modern Rock station loves Gwen Stefani, or at least that old band she was in. No Doubt was it?

I think this and rich girl prove that gwen stefani shouldn't sample show tunes. Everyone knows that 4 non blondes are the only group that can yodel in popular music.

where does she mention john galliano? i don't hear it.
there's another leaked song off her new album. just a preview though. akon produced it and played a little bit of it during a radio interview he did. it's the title track 'sweet escape' and it's completly different from wind it up. and orange county girl is already out since she played it during her tour. i think this album's gonna be tons of fun just like LAMB.

Um, Gwen, could you return my phone calls?
Me and the other guys have been talking for oh, the past year or so...and uh, we'd like to get the band back together....we really don't have anything else going on.
I'm thinking of trying out for "Dancing with the Stars." I know. Don't speak. It's getting tough.
So if you get a chance, call me back.
We can go to Jamaca again to record if you want! Huh?
That'd...that'd be nice right? Just the four of us again!?

I'm a huge No Doubt fan and thought LAMB was a great album.
I don't know wtf happened that caused this though. If you played "Stars for Blind" without telling anyone it was Paris, they may have thought it was Gwen, but if you played this, they'd say Fergie. Something is definitely wrong with that....

Man this is so disappointing!

wow...can't anyone be nice around here? i just listened to the song, and it might be one of those that will have to "grow on me"...but, other than that...honestly, i'm not that big of a fan for this first single "wind it up". doesn't mean that i will talk badly about gwen or her artist/musical endeavors. if you know anything about gwen and what her role as a music artist is, then you wouldn't talk crap about this new song, even if you may not like it much. nuff said.
Score = 0
I love it!!!! I love it!!!!!...omg...I cannot get enought of it. I can't wait to dance it at the clubs. I love the fact that she is not afraid of being herself and she comes up with things that no one has ever thought of. She inspires me so much of being myself. Gwen Stefani...you the best!!!!!! keep up the awesome work.

wow...i can't believe how bad music is getting.
that middle section with the nonsensical keyboard almost sounds like someone rapping over a fiery furnaces song.
which is a terrible idea.

Score = 0
I'm diggin' this! Maybe it's just cause I'm a dancer. But I'm always looking for good beats to choreograph to. And the lyrics? You guys are seriously complaining about that? When in our time BS like "I'm in love with a stripper" and "F**k you, you ho! I don't want you back!" became major hits? I'd say this is a step up. Besides, it's supposed to be fun, not taken so seriously . . ..
Score = 0
Eyy, wow you people have no lives, what do you want from her. It's a perfectly made song, and i KNOW that this song is going to be famous in the clubs in about a month or so.I think it was the cutest idea to put in the SOUND OF MUSIC parts in it, it gives it that cute, dancey kinda funky music. If you people don't ike it go listen to some EMO ROCK, or some DEATHMETAL music. Thanx, and umm.. STOP HATING!!

OMG
wow
This song is amazing
I love it!
its soooo catchy!
ill be the first in line to get the new CD:D <3

looks like i'm one of the few who's liking what i'm hearing so far. i'd take this over paris or fergie any day.
Score = 0
I wish you all would stop comparing her to Fergie, I do believe that Gwen's solo career started before Fergie's, and Gwen is way more innovative. No Doubt will be back in a year or two, have patience. And p.s. I'm a No Doubt fan before a Gwen fan, and I love Gwen's solo stuff.
Score = 0
Oh yeah, she's way cooler than Paris and Kelis as well.
Score = 0
i happen to like it a lot. and i think that she is really trying to do something different and it's working. all you who said it sucked and compared it to fergie and kelis...maybe i'm crazy but i believe those are huge hits. plus, it's different from those! i love her and i think she can do no wrong! GO GWEN!
Score = 0
do you people realize that she just wanted to make a funky dance album? it's not no doubt, and its not meant to be a grammy award winning record. it's fun, and it's your guilty pleasure....which is all she wanted it to be.

uhh, Fergie ripped of Gwen, London Bridge is just a more clever Hollaback Girl. This song was done last year, i heard the demo, so Gwen was definetly copying that crack up bitch fergie, or that no-one kelis
Score = 0
I think some of you got it backward. Fergie copied Gwen, not the other way around. But I think this type of music is too common right now, and I am kinda getting sick of it.

i think this song is good, Gwen is soo diferent. she totally knows what shes doing. it works, and it will. just watch... in a few days everyone is gonna be crazy about it. its just the kind of song to dance to... if you know how to find the beat...(if you're a good dancer you would know how) you'll love dancing to it. it's all about confidence. some people got it... and some don't.
if Gwen likes it... trust me that's all she cares about.
Score = 0
I like it! I think ne thing that can get me to move my head is enjoyable, no matter what era it's compared too, how old she is, if she is a mother, who already did it, and who doesn't want to hear it. I like music for music, any type any style, whats not to like.

I'm really disappointed by the content of most of these comments. I heard it unsuspectingly on the radio the other day and was absolutely disgusted by it. Open minded or not, it's just awful. I miss No Doubt. Not that I've particularly liked them since elementary/middle school, but I can still tolerate most of their stuff, whereas everything Gwen has produced solo just makes my head hurt in distress.
Score = 0
WOW It's funny how ppl can get so Involved over a Song, I personally love Gwen she is different and not afraid to Experiment,I don't think she sounds like Fergie or Kelis, that being said, I'm really not feeling this song, I'm still buying the Album she had so many great songs on the last that weren't even released.Not a good choice for first single in my opinnion. and ppl stop bashing her if u dont like her fine if u do even better.

What was the most crappiest song i've ever heard. Please go back to no doubt gwen. We need the rock back!
Her first solo album was cool because it was original. But after that people started to imitate. This songs like failed imitation.

I think its great! Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies, and Gwen is one of my favorite artist! So the combination is deadly, lol.
GO GWEN!
Though, I can definatly see where people would not like it. But once you listen to it a few times, the beat really gets to you.

come on gwen. did a 5 year old write this song 4 you? it sure sounds like it. and uhh what happened to the "band." she so soaked up in all her fame she probably forgot that no doubt used to be a band. i think her solo sux and shes fake. where did "gwen" go? obviously she could care less. i wonder if she acts this way around little kingston? hmmm i sure hope not
Score = 0
Deal with it, guys. Gwen is a SOLO artist now, she is a pop star... and a damn good one, I might add. I have been a HUGE fan of No Doubt for years. I'm 26 years old, and No Doubt was one of the first bands that I got into. And while I love No Doubt, I will also be the first to say that Gwen shines even brighter and better as a solo artist in pop music. Just look at her- she seems happier and much more confident and content in the solo stuff she's done. She has said many, many times how she is a HUGE fan of dance music and going dancing at clubs. With No Doubt, Gwen is not able to make those kinds of records. Pop and dance music is very much more of who Gwen is. There is an art to pop music, and the word "pop" doesn't have to be a bad thing. Look at Madonna for example. Respectably, Madonna is considered to be one of the greatest and most successful women in music- no other artist, male or female, has had the longevity, success and artistic respect that she has... and guess what- she makes pop music! What I'm getting at in all of this is that this style of music is who Gwen is and always has been. if you hate it, then deal with it and move on. "Wind It Up" is dance music perfection, and with this style of music, Gwen is sure to be present for many years in the music industry, because its fresh, innovative and fun... and you can shake your ass to it. Gwen Stefani, you rock my world, baby!

It is horrible to compare Gwen Stefani to Fergie. Fergie hasn't done anything but make some okay songs with Black Eyed Peas and some really bad songs on her own. Even if you don't like Gwen's solo career or even No Doubt, she has definitley proven she a well rounded artist. She has acted a little, she has two amazing clothing lines, and she goes on tour all around the world. I don't think Gwen's main goal for her solo albums is a Grammy or any other awards, I think she is just trying to do something fun and danceable and you have to admit, this song has both of those features.

she took the sound of music to another level...i like parts of it, but i want to fast forward parts too...idk...i just hope the album is better!
