The music from high school became nostalgic — it was the backdrop of my life. Explore Explore Gwen Stefani See latest videos, charts and news.
See latest videos, charts and news. Everything was new, and I felt really rebellious and outrageous to be doing it. Along with proving that Stefani could tackle dance-pop just as effortlessly as alt-rock, Love.
Fergie and Nelly Furtado followed suit two years later with eclectic, rap-leaning The Dutchess and the Timbaland-assisted Loose , respectively. Baby was a huge success: the album debuted at No.
Stefani says she was never expecting the album to skyrocket; today, she likens its success to an inexplicable yet overwhelming fashion trend, like Crocs. It was a time of creation and a really fun time in music. Note: the conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity. StefanI: Linda [Perry] was the first person I went in the studio with. It was such a weird thing going in with a girl — I never hung out with girls before, because I was always with guys. Linda could literally play every single instrument, sing, make tracks.
I never did that before, I always worked to a guitar or piano. It was all new, and super intimidating. So we just sat there and I remember her seeing me from her perspective. Stop it! We went into the booth and would trade off ad-libbing. It was a normal thing to do, but also super scary to have to channel melodies and sing in front of her. It was really fun because we came up with this crazy melody that was all over the place. They just came to my head. That song is quite masterful. It talks about being scared — it was just so true to where I was at in that moment.
It has to be this song first, because it lays out the whole story. I had traveled the world, you know? It opened me up to a whole different group of human beings. I was on the BET Awards, that was so cool! But to be able to cross over to do hip-hop was another level. We watched it be born, so to work with Dr. Dre [who produced the song] was crazy!
He always tried to cross-pollinate everybody. I think it was all these negotiations to try to force people to work together. I was running on a treadmill in London and the lyrics just came to my brain. It was the perspective of me living the dream. I put that vision into the verses: I had a mansion in London, Harajuku Girls and these things that actually happened in my life. People were partying in the trailer with Pamela Anderson, and I cried on set.
It was a wild time. I had such an idea of what I wanted it to be, and what he came up with was so elaborate. It ended up being great, but it was such a crazy day. I think it was the perfect song to represent what I wanted to achieve musically.
Dre, although longtime Dre collaborator Scott Storch produced two songs on the album. The album received a near perfect 4. It has been said that there might be a mini-movie for the song Doctor's Advocate for a possible re-release of the album. Posted by paul at PM. Labels: hip hop , music , rap.
