Review: Gwen Stefani - Wind It Up
We all know Gwen Stefani fancies herself as a bit of a Hip-Hop star, but this shitty bit of sampling takes the biscuit!
There is not a singer, living or dead, who could pull off a line from The Sound Of Music in a pop track. You could say singing “High on a hill was a lonely goatherd” was ballsy, but even thinking about it makes me shudder. Stupid move…
And by the way, what’s with the pseudo-rap? I thought Gwen could sing. Apparently, it’s a case of “Screw singing, let’s make Hollaback Girls Part 2!” Sorry folks, but this is the sort of dirge that should have never seen the light of day. I’m even embarrassed to be reviewing it!
Let’s hope Gwen sobers up and pulls this crap from the shelves. Go and make another bloody No Doubt record!

Absolutely right! I was a huge fan of No Doubt, but it seems she went solo because her bandmates wouldn’t join her in making crap like this.

Severely disappointing. If she think a cool clip makes good for crappy music, she’s sorely wrong.
