Gwen Stefani – The Sweet Escape – Interscope

Gwen Stefani - The sweet escape CD coverOn her multi million selling 2004 album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Gwen and her collaborators came up with some fun and interesting combinations, here on The Sweet Escape, she rebooks some of the same producers and repeats some of the old tricks with less flair. She works with the Neptunes again on the dance tracks, Tony Kanal and Linda Perry of No Doubt assist with pop. And the echoes from her previous album are a little too strong. Her 2004 hit Rich Girl quoted Fiddler on the Roof; her new single, Wind It Up, quotes The Sound of Music. A marching-band beat carried her hit Hollaback Girl, military snare drums return in the new Now That You Got It.
