Album Description
Available in:
The Sweet Escape is het tweede solo album van zangeres Gwen Stefani, uitgebracht door Interscope Records in december 2006, gevolgd door de eerste single Wind It Up. In januari 2007 kwam de tweede single uit: The Sweet Escape. Deze laatste had in de gehele wereld meer succes dan zijn voorganger. Zo ook in Nederland. In eerste instantie zou er geen opvolger komen van haar eerste album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. maar ze werd geïnspireerd door overblijfselen van sessies voor nummers voor L.A.M.B. Naar aanleiding van het album, maakte Stefani ook weer een tour door de wereld: The Sweet Escape Tour. Deze tour startte in april 2007, en ging naar Noord-Amerika, Centraal-Amerika, Australië, Azië en Europa.



User Album Review
Everyone’s favourite hollaback girl is back! Gwen’s second solo album, Sweet Escape opens with “Wind it Up”, sampling the Sound of Music’s “Lonely Goat Herd”, singing about being a girl, and exactly why boys adore them. Suddenly you realise you’ve missed having Ms Stefani in your life.

A mistress of the synthetic sound, with lyrics that allude to smart girlie conversations over a cuppa, Gwen’s taken all the big hitters, ranging from Nellee Hooper to Keane’s Tim Rice-Oakley to contribute. She’s mixed them all up, soaking up trends that ensure she’s played in all the gyms and Topshops nationwide, but she’s not letting anyone take over. She’s big enough for all of them.

Topics span apologising for being grumpy (“The Sweet Escape”) men who lie, making her cry (the Cardigans-esque “Early Winter”), and being an unremarkable small town girl, a la J Lo (“Orange County girl”). As with her first album there are a few bland fillers, and she seems to lose her way a bit with “Breakin’ up”, a track about frustrating mobile conversations, but there’s enough trademark majorette drumming to carry the album off. “Yummy” sums her up, coquettish, amusing, annoying and hip wiggling in equal measure. All this and a new baby. Not bad.
