Released on Monday, February 26 2007
Gwen Stefani is clearly in the middle of a very peculiar musical phase. Her latest album The Sweet Escape is a rather mashed up affair, which blends various types of music within one track to baffling effect, leaving the listener confused and not a little perturbed by this musical mess. Her new single of the same name is in exactly the same boat.

'The Sweet Escape' is a clumpy, mixed bag. There are some great 'woo-hoos' from guest star and producer Akon that punctuate the chorus enjoyably, but on the whole it's not some of Stefani's best work. It sounds lazy, as if Stefani was forced into the studio to record it.

There's no emotion or vocal interest, and whilst the song is technically fine, without any sense that Stefani cares about what she's singing - having her voice at a monotone throughout the track - it just sounds floppy and weak.

I hope she reconsiders and make a better album, cos if she doesn't make an album that WE her Fans and the critics consider is a good album, she will live under the shadow of Madonna.
