Nah **** that, What You Waiting For was far from safe and far from average. Wind It Up was also far from safe and far from average. They were both accessible and catchy, but they just weren't boring. Thats what we need from her. I don't want her to release some dull ass Maroon 5/Katy Perry/Ke$ha level track. If shes coming back to the Top 40 solo she needs to deliver something cool. Because thats what made her cool in the first place, without that shell just be another boring pop star consumed by everyone with a taste for the dull, which is practically everyone.
Yes! I'm so afraid it will sound super basic. She was gone and now she needs to prove why she should come back. Something safe wouldn't be wise at all.
I am actually really happy about the producers. Benny Blanco makes really great sounds and Ryan Tedder is lyrically one of the best writers out there. I really can't wait to hear it!
Okay! Our good friend Kristen was able to listen to Gwen’s brand new solo single “Baby Don’t Lie” this morning and sent us in a little insight to the “tribal” sounding song written with OneRebuplic’s Ryan Tedder and Benny Blanco.
The song has been sent out to radio with a tentative release date of October 6 but is still being worked out to coincide with The Voice.
Kristen describes the song as “total top 40″ and features a “driving beat” with “crazy catchy, repetitive vocal lines in the chorus”. She says it has a “tribal” feel that features men chanting “oohs” during the track. Kristen says that the song reminds her of Jeremih’s “Don’t Tell Em” except “Baby Don’t Lie” comes across as “lighter and not urban sounding”.
She can’t share much more about the song but can confirm that a holiday solo album release for Gwen is the plan as well as a future release from No Doubt. This is seriously the best news ever and we so incredibly happy for Gwen and the band!
“All right, y’all, I’ve been trying to think of the most accurate way to describe the song to you. First – IT’S GOOD. You can definitely tell Ryan Tedder wrote it. A lot of the elements you can hear in OneRepublic’s latest single “Love Runs Out” and Adele’s “Rumor Has It” (which he wrote with her) are there – that driving beat in particular; the short, crazy catchy, repetitive vocal lines in the chorus, with men chanting “ooh”s after it which all together give it that, “tribal” feel that’s been in a trend in pop music lately. The instrumentation in the verses reminds me of that Jeremiah, song “Don’t Tell ‘Em” except Gwen’s song is lighter and not urban sounding, just the best description I can find. It’s TOTAL Top 40, way more so than Hot AC. Also they are not sure about the 10/6 release date. They need to coordinate with the Voice. That’s most of the info I have and all I can share. Looking good for a solo album by the holidays and YES I got confirmation the label knows there is new No Doubt in the works too!! No details about that but I am guessing it will be poppy and everyone seems to be hoping Gwen uses the solo time to draw a line back to the band. There you go!”
