No Doubt or Gwen Stefani solo?
in Music ·
No Doubt is a band that holds a very special place in my heart—though I have to say, I find Rock Steady to be quite a disappointing album. On Tragic Kingdom, they managed to include several standout tracks—I really appreciated the unique individuality of that record—but I just wasn't a fan of the second album, mostly because it felt like the band had lost its identity. The songs seemed somewhat soulless, almost indistinguishable from the tracks put out by pop stars like Rihanna or Beyoncé. Because of that, I am fully in favor of a No Doubt reunion, provided they return to their roots and produce music that captures that old magic—songs that are perhaps as strong as Excuse me mr., Just a Girl, Spiderwebs, Don't Speak, Sunday Morning, or Ex-girlfriend.
