Title: The *Sweet* Escape - **Baff
Review: Gwen Stefani opened up as an artist with huge talent on LAMB, but here she wastes it all and loses all credibility.The terrible opening single "Wind It Up" is terrible; a combonation of erotic rap, The Sound Of Music and yodelling...GROSS!!! The rest isn't any better; like the vanilla-Kelis of "Yummy", the lame J.Lo wanna-be "Orange County Girl" and "Don't Get It Twisted".This disc does have someredeming moments but they don't save the record; the Madonna-esque "The Sweet Escape", "4 In The Morning" which sounds like a Kylie Minogue or Madonna down-tempo moment, "Fluorescent" which reminds me of Nelly Furtado's "Glow", the indie-rock-ish "Early Winter" & "Breakin' Up" the only good club single.This album is a massive step down from LAMB and has no appeal to any of her No Doubt fans and only some of her most loyal fans would mildly enjoy this. Gwen, next time, don't release your leftovers.xOxo
