Stefani Sound Machine

Gwen Stefani has a new album coming Dec. 5 called The Sweet Escape; its first single, “Wind It Up,” is already out, and my initial reaction to it has been, “Where’s the melody, Gwen?”

The song features yodeling and contains a sample of "The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music – and in true Stefani Style the lyrics talk about her clothing line, L.A.M.B., and how boys just love to stare at her and her girls.

I’m not crazy about it (yet?), but I’m hoping her sophomore effort as whole will live up to the promise of her debut album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby., otherwise, I’m gonna go B-A-N-A-N-A-S with disappointment.

You can catch Stefani’s performing “Wind It Up” tomorrow at the American Music Awards on ABC.
