Less than a week until the end of the year, so time to look back at the best albums of 2016. And there were some great ones. This list really show the brilliant sides of pop, there are comeback albums, debut albums and continuations of great careers. One thing they had in common, they were all on high rotation in 2016.
After years of waiting, fans of Gwen Stefani have been rewarded with her third solo album, the very personal and the very brilliant, "This Is What the Feels Like".
Sometimes you can hear a song once and you immediately fall in love with it, that is what happened with Gwen Stefani's latest release, "Used To Love You" - a touching ballad that just had to be the single of the week.
After a failed return to No Doubt, Gwen Stefani is back with a new single that has gotten me singing along very loudly! I have been a longtime fan of No Doubt, it was Gwen's solo stuff that had me a little hot and cold. However, when No Doubt reformed, the lacklustre outing was a disappointment. Sure, the first single, "Settle Down", was okay, but it was nowhere near as good as a "Don't Speak", "Just a Girl" or "Simple Kind of Life"(my favourite No Doubt song).
I was hesitant listening for the first time, wondering what I was going to hear, but midway through my first listen - I was already hooked. It's a mid-tempo reggae/pop song co-written with One Republic's Ryan Tedder, amongst others. Tedder seems to be the man of the moment, seemingly writing every second massive pop hit. A great beat to dance along to, and some catchy lyrics that will be stuck in your "internal jukebox" before too long.
From the opening beat to that awesome chorus, this is a catchy little song that I hope finally gets the recognition that Stefani once again deserves. Check it out below.
