Gwen Grasps For 'Modern' Sounds On New Album

October 24, 2006, 10:50 AM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

As expected, Gwen Stefani will release her second solo album before the end of the year. "The Sweet Escape" is due Dec. 5 via Interscope and will be preceded by first single "Wind It Up," produced by the Neptunes. The video will be directed by Sophie Muller; a U.S. tour will get underway in April.

 

The full track list has yet to be announced, but "The Sweet Escape" will also sport collaborations with Akon, Stefani's No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal, Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley and producers Nellee Hooper, Sean Garrett, Swizz Beatz and Dave Stewart.

 

"This album is surprisingly different than the last one," Stefani says in a statement. "I started recording it last year before [her son] Kingston was born and it's definitely evolved over the last year. The dance sound is very 'now.' It's modern ... not so retro."

 

"The Sweet Escape" is the follow-up to 2004's "Love.Angel.Music.Baby," which has sold 3.8 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

 

Also on Dec. 5, Stefani will release the concert DVD "Harajuku Lovers Live." The film was shot at Arrowhead Pond in Stefani's hometown of Anaheim, Calif., and was also directed by Muller.

Gwen Stefani has collaborated with Keane keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley on her new album The Sweet Escape. The title of the song is not known, but is one of the many collaborations on the new album, which is out on December 4.

 

Stefani also worked with No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal on the song "Fluorescent". Akon produced the title track, and the star collaborated with Beyonce songwriter Swizz Beatz on another tune.

 

Stefani said that she had enough material for a double album, but cut it down to a single. She left off "Fine By You" - the first song she wrote with Courtney Love collaborator Linda Perry, "Wonderful Life For Him" - which featured Depeche Mode's Martin Gore on guitar, "Parental Advisory" and "You Started It".

 

The bulk of the songs that did make it onto The Sweet Escape include several collaborations with Pharrell Williams, including "Candyland," "Breaking Up" and "Orange County Girl."

 

Speaking about the latter, she told MTV it was inspired by her mother Patti.

 

She said: "I love that song, it's a sick song, it's a song I always needed to have, but people are trying to post the lyrics and they're getting the lyrics so wrong.

 

"I'm so proud of them, because it's so exactly like growing up in Orange County and how I got to this point. And reading them, someone had posted that I had copied what my mom said on 'Oprah'.

 

"My mom got asked something and she said, 'My daughter Gwen is just an ordinary girl in an extraordinary world.' And I went, 'She's right!' So I e-mailed my mom, 'I copied your lyrics, you need credit.'"

 

Although a release date has not been announced, the first single from the album will be the Pharrell Williams-produced "Wind It Up".

I love Wind It Up. :wub:
