Gwen Stefani performed the track "Used to Love You" at her MasterCard #PricelessMoments showcase today, which is allegedly her new single.

It sounds quite good smile.gif I am a big fan of Baby Don't Lie though!

I want poppy and her to sing properly. Not in that weird, faux-Jamacian accent shes been donning.

I'm not sure where you are hearing "faux- Jamaican".

Anyways. I love this, it's really Gwen Stefani just being Gwen Stefani. It almost sounds like a song from No Doubt's 'Rocksteady', without the band (of course). Unlike her most recent effort, this isn't her trying to emulate something that gave her success with her first two solo albums. 'Spark The Fire' was such a sellout, 'Baby Don't Lie' is still her best solo single after "What You Waiting For" and "Cool" IMO. She just needs to realize (much like my Britney) that just because you have sold a shit ton of albums and have ruled the scene for almost two decades, you can't expect a #1 hit to fall out of your ass just because of your name and the song being good. The world has gotten much more f***ed up by now.

Actually she doesn't really even need a good track, just buy an iTunes ad.

After the disappointing (and unfair) underperformance of Baby Don't Lie I hope this does something for her.

I heard this on the radio a few minutes ago and it sounds pretty cool! Hopefully it rights the wrong of "Baby Don't Lie" flopping.

Killer comeback. That final chorus is giving me all the feels.

Dull. Really poor single,

Posted by: Davidson Oct 19 2015, 06:36 PM

Wasn't feeling it at the beginning but by the end I was really loving it. Very Cool/4 In The Morning-esque, which obviously is no bad thing.

Posted by: Cremey Oct 19 2015, 06:42 PM

Absolutely adore this.
'Spark the Fire' had me worried..but this has really brought back the excitement. So good!

Posted by: Liаm Oct 19 2015, 06:49 PM

It's nice, a little dull, but gets going towards the end. I'm still not blown away though..

This.

She is awful these days.

To think this is the woman of WYWF ... although she did also release Rich Girl n Hollaback Gurl so not like shes a musical genius...

It's not that great, Baby Don't Lie was better.

Posted by: J▼hnkm Oct 20 2015, 07:29 AM

This is brilliant. I just think it's a shade overproduced, it distracts from her vocal and the melody in the first half of the song too much for me. The final chorus is perfection.

Everything here is on point! I like on first listen. biggrin.gif

This is much bad than the other two songs she put out. And no weird accent.

Posted by: mr_pmt Oct 20 2015, 02:06 PM

Yeah, the song itself is strong but it's just the production on it I'm not sure on.

Posted by: Juan Carlos Oct 20 2015, 04:23 PM

The music video has been premiered on her Facebook page and you could watch it https://www.facebook.com/gwenstefani/videos/vb.19074699872/10153838156729873/.

ETA: Uploaded on her YouTube/VEVO channel as well.

I refuse to call that a proper music video. The song is rather nice. Better than Spark the Fire, worse than Baby Don't Lie.

Posted by: Atonement Oct 20 2015, 08:31 PM

I prefer both 'Spark the Fire' and 'Baby Don't Lie'. I don't like sappy Gwen, although this is not as bad as '4 in the Morning' or 'Early Winter' (seriously what were they thinking with those after two amazing singles, it killed the whole campaign). Her music needs to be weird and out there.

Posted by: J▼hnkm Oct 20 2015, 09:12 PM

4 In The Morning and Early Winter are among her VERY BEST solo works. Crazy Gwen only works when she finds an amazing melody, but melancholy balled Gwen is usually great.

Preach, ol' hoe!!

Posted by: Davidson Oct 20 2015, 11:32 PM

This is actually doing incredibly well so far, already up to #5 on US iTunes chart and looking as if it's about to take #4. Where did 'Baby Don't Lie' get to? Hopefully it is a sign that this is connecting with the public this time around. I am really loving it now.

Posted by: Davidson Oct 20 2015, 11:47 PM

Turns out 'Baby Don't Lie' also managed to get to #5 so I'm willing this to outpeak that, which it's looking like it will do. Would love it to at least be a decent sized hit for her, but seeing as 'Baby Don't Lie' only peaked at #49 on the U.S. Billboard Chart, I won't get too excited as of yet.

Posted by: Atonement Oct 21 2015, 02:01 PM

'Used to Love You' is #3 now on US iTunes.

Well it's not bad but I don't like dramatic Gwen.

I still can't stop laughing when I hear the ridiculous 'Lonely Goatherd' sample in 'Wind It Up'. That is the Gwen I neeeed.

Posted by: Liаm Oct 21 2015, 02:14 PM

Early Winter <3 One of her absolute best. I do miss jams like What You Waiting For, Hollaback Girl and Wind It Up though.

Posted by: Red Blooded Man Oct 22 2015, 12:22 PM

Sounds pretty ordinary to me...

Posted by: All Hallows Peen Oct 22 2015, 01:00 PM

She also released one of the WORST most droning dull and whiny piles of shit of the century in Sweet Escape sooo doesnt surprise me ghis is v dull. If this was a no name nobody hurr would be hur for it.

Posted by: mr_pmt Oct 22 2015, 04:32 PM

I properly love this now!

I've seen it get a good reception among people I know (IRL people sharing the video on Facebook and saying they like it). I hope that can go some way towards this translating into some kind of surprise hit (doubt it).

I've missed emosh Gwen.

Posted by: Kuki Sanban Oct 22 2015, 08:00 PM

This has actually grown on me so much, and is really quite beautiful love.gif

Posted by: Hayzayy Oct 24 2015, 12:58 PM

I really love this new single, wasn't expecting something that good wub.gif

Posted by: ♡ Heezus Froot ♡ Oct 26 2015, 09:55 PM

This is toilet humour, but it totally cracked me up


Posted by: mr_pmt Oct 26 2015, 11:47 PM

I love those musicless music videos! Though there are better ones.
