With that established and her ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ long-desired wish for a baby finally fulfilled, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ there was no rush for Gwen to get back to her ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ regular gig, so she made another solo album, The ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Sweet Escape, which expanded on what really sold ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ her debut: her tenuous connections to Californian ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ club culture. There was always a sense of ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ artifice behind the turn-of-the-century makeover ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ that brought Gwen from a ska-punk sweetheart to a ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ dance club queen, but that doesn't mean it didn't ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ work at least on occasion, most spectacularly so ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ on the gloriously dumb marching-band rap of ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Hollaback Girl," the Neptunes production that ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ turned L.A.M.B. into a blockbuster. There, as on ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ her duet with Eve on "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," Gwen ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ made the transition into a modern-day material ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ girl with ease, but when she tried to shoehorn ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ this ghetto-fabulous persona into her original ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ new wave girl character, it felt forced, nowhere ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ more so than on the Linda Perry written and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ produced "What You Waiting For." Gwen doesn't ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ make that mistake again on The Sweet Escape -- by ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ and large, she keeps these two sides of her ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ personality separate, favoring the streets and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ nightclubs to the comfort of her new wave home. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Just because she wants to run in the streets ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ doesn't mean she belongs there; she continues to ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ sound far more comfortable mining new wave pop, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ as only a child of the '80s could. As always, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ it's those celebrations of cool synths and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ stylish pop hooks that work the best for Stefani, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ whether she's approximating the chilliness of ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ early-MTV new romantics on "Wonderful Life," ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ mashing Prince and Madonna on "Fluorescent," or ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ lying back on the coolly sensual "4 in the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Morning." ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Only once on the album is she able to bring this ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ style and popcraft to a heavy dance track, and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ that's on the irresistible Akon-produced title ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ track, driven by a giddy "wee-oh!" hook and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ supported by a nearly anthemic summertime chorus. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Tellingly, the Neptunes, the architects of her ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ best dance cuts on L.A.M.B., did not produce this ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ track, but they do have a huge presence on The ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Sweet Escape, helming five of the 12 songs, all ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ but one being tracks that weigh down the album ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ considerably. The exception is "U Started It," a ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ light and nifty evocation of mid-period Prince, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ with its lilting melody, silken harmonies, and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ pizzicato strings. It sounds effortless and ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ effervescent, two words that do not apply to ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ their other four productions, all skeletal, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ rhythm-heavy tracks that fail to click. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Sometimes, they're merely leaden, as on the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ stumbling autobiographical rap "Orange County ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Girl"; sometimes, they're cloying and crass, as ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ on the rather embarrassing "Yummy"; sometimes ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ they have an interesting idea executed poorly, as ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ on "Breakin' Up," a breakup song built on a dying ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ cell phone metaphor that's interesting in theory ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ but its stuttering, static rhythms and repetitive ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ chorus are irritating in practice. Also ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ interesting in theory is the truly bizarre lead ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ single, "Wind It Up," where the Neptunes force ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ fanfares and samples from The Sound of Music's ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ "The Lonely Goatherd" into one of their typical ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ minimalist tracks, over which Gwen spouts off ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ clumsy material-minded lyrics touting her fashion ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ line and her shape. Nothing in this track really ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ works, but it's hard not to listen to it in ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ wonder, since its unwieldy rhythms and rhymes ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ capture everything that's currently wrong about ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Stefani. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ From the stilted production to the fashion ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ fetish, all the way down to her decision to rap ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ on far too much of the album, all the dance-pop ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ here seems like a pose, creating the impression ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ that she's a glamour girl slumming on a weekend ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ night -- something that her self-proclaimed ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ Michelle Pfieffer in Scarface "coke whore" ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ makeover showcased on the album's cover doesn't ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ do much to dissuade. If the dance production on ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ The Sweet Escape were better, these hipster ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ affectations would be easier to forgive, but ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ they're not: they're canned and bland, which only ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ accentuates Stefani's stiffness. These misfires ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ are so grand they overshadow the many good ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ moments on The Sweet Escape, which are invariably ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ those songs that stay true to her long-standing ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ love of new wave pop (not coincidentally, these ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ include every production from her No Doubt ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ bandmate Tony Kanal). These are the moments that ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ give The Sweet Escape its sweetness, and while ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ they may require a little effort to dig out, ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ they're worth the effort, since it proves that ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ beneath the layers of bling, Gwen remains the ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ SoCal sweetheart that has always been as spunky ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ and likeable as she has been sexy. ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ░ ▀▓████▀ ║ ║▄░████▓▀ ░ ▀ ░████▓▄║ ║░▓████░ ▀ ▀░████▓╟◄──────────────────────────────────────────────────►╢▓████░▀ ▄ ░░▓███╠════════════════════════════════════════════◄QUOTES►╢╣███▓░░ ▄ ▄ ░▄▄ ▀▀██████║ ║██████▀▀ ▄▄░ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ The expectations of life depend upon diligence; ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ the mechanic that would perfect his work must ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ first sharpen his tools. ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ▀░▓███████▄▄║ -- Confucius ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ░▓█████▄░░ ▄║ ║▄ ░░▄█████▓░ ░▄▄ ▀▀██████╟◄──────────────────────────────────────────────────►╢██████▀▀ ▄▄░ ▀░▓███████▄▄╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣▄▄███████▓░▀ ▄▄▀▀██████╟────────────────────────────────────────◄GROUP NEWS►╢██████▀▀ ▄▄░ ▄░▓███████▄║ DeBT is in need of SECURE affils ║▄▄███████▓░▀ ░▓█████▄░░ ║ ║▄ ░░▄█████▓░ ░████▓░░▀ ║ pre-release suppliers, bookware ║░ ▀░░▓████░▀ ░▓███▓▓░ ║ ║▄ ░▓▓███▓░ ▀▀░███▓░▄▄║ suppliers, iNT rippers, shell accounts, ║░▄▄░▓███░▀▀ ▀ ▄███▀░║ ║░░▀███▄ ▀ ░░▄▄█║ coders, crackers and anything else ║██▄▄░░ ▄▄░▀█████║ ║██████▀░▄▀ ░▓█████▓░║ that may be of use to us. ║░▓█████▓░ ░▓████▓░░║ ║░░▓████▓░ ▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄ ░ ▀▓████▀ ║ ║▄░████▓▀ ░ ▀ ░████▓▄║ DeBT is dedicated to bringing ║░▓████░ ▀ ▀░████▓║ ║▓████░▀ ▄ ░░▓███║ you the best of the old, new and forgotten in a ║███▓░░ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▀▀██████║ ║██████▀▀ ▄▄░ ▄░▓███████▄║ variety of sections.

With that established and her ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº long-desired wish for a baby finally fulfilled, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº there was no rush for Gwen to get back to her ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº regular gig, so she made another solo album, The ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Sweet Escape, which expanded on what really sold ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº her debut: her tenuous connections to Californian ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº club culture. There was always a sense of ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº artifice behind the turn-of-the-century makeover ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº that brought Gwen from a ska-punk sweetheart to a ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº dance club queen, but that doesn't mean it didn't ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº work at least on occasion, most spectacularly so ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº on the gloriously dumb marching-band rap of ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº "Hollaback Girl," the Neptunes production that ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº turned L.A.M.B. into a blockbuster. There, as on ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº her duet with Eve on "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," Gwen ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº made the transition into a modern-day material ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº girl with ease, but when she tried to shoehorn ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº this ghetto-fabulous persona into her original ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº new wave girl character, it felt forced, nowhere ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº more so than on the Linda Perry written and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº produced "What You Waiting For." Gwen doesn't ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº make that mistake again on The Sweet Escape -- by ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº and large, she keeps these two sides of her ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº personality separate, favoring the streets and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº nightclubs to the comfort of her new wave home. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Just because she wants to run in the streets ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº doesn't mean she belongs there; she continues to ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº sound far more comfortable mining new wave pop, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº as only a child of the '80s could. As always, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº it's those celebrations of cool synths and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº stylish pop hooks that work the best for Stefani, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº whether she's approximating the chilliness of ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº early-MTV new romantics on "Wonderful Life," ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº mashing Prince and Madonna on "Fluorescent," or ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº lying back on the coolly sensual "4 in the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Morning." ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Only once on the album is she able to bring this ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº style and popcraft to a heavy dance track, and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº that's on the irresistible Akon-produced title ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº track, driven by a giddy "wee-oh!" hook and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº supported by a nearly anthemic summertime chorus. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Tellingly, the Neptunes, the architects of her ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº best dance cuts on L.A.M.B., did not produce this ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº track, but they do have a huge presence on The ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Sweet Escape, helming five of the 12 songs, all ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº but one being tracks that weigh down the album ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº considerably. The exception is "U Started It," a ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº light and nifty evocation of mid-period Prince, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº with its lilting melody, silken harmonies, and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº pizzicato strings. It sounds effortless and ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº effervescent, two words that do not apply to ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº their other four productions, all skeletal, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº rhythm-heavy tracks that fail to click. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Sometimes, they're merely leaden, as on the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº stumbling autobiographical rap "Orange County ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Girl"; sometimes, they're cloying and crass, as ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº on the rather embarrassing "Yummy"; sometimes ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº they have an interesting idea executed poorly, as ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº on "Breakin' Up," a breakup song built on a dying ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº cell phone metaphor that's interesting in theory ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº but its stuttering, static rhythms and repetitive ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº chorus are irritating in practice. Also ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº interesting in theory is the truly bizarre lead ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº single, "Wind It Up," where the Neptunes force ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº fanfares and samples from The Sound of Music's ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº "The Lonely Goatherd" into one of their typical ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº minimalist tracks, over which Gwen spouts off ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº clumsy material-minded lyrics touting her fashion ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº line and her shape. Nothing in this track really ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº works, but it's hard not to listen to it in ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº wonder, since its unwieldy rhythms and rhymes ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº capture everything that's currently wrong about ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Stefani. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº From the stilted production to the fashion ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº fetish, all the way down to her decision to rap ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº on far too much of the album, all the dance-pop ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº here seems like a pose, creating the impression ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº that she's a glamour girl slumming on a weekend ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº night -- something that her self-proclaimed ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº Michelle Pfieffer in Scarface "coke whore" ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº makeover showcased on the album's cover doesn't ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº do much to dissuade. If the dance production on ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº The Sweet Escape were better, these hipster ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº affectations would be easier to forgive, but ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº they're not: they're canned and bland, which only ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº accentuates Stefani's stiffness. These misfires ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº are so grand they overshadow the many good ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº moments on The Sweet Escape, which are invariably ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº those songs that stay true to her long-standing ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº love of new wave pop (not coincidentally, these ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº include every production from her No Doubt ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº bandmate Tony Kanal). These are the moments that ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº give The Sweet Escape its sweetness, and while ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº they may require a little effort to dig out, ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº they're worth the effort, since it proves that ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº beneath the layers of bling, Gwen remains the ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº SoCal sweetheart that has always been as spunky ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº and likeable as she has been sexy. ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ ° ß²ÛÛÛÛß º ºÜ°ÛÛÛÛ²ß ° ß °ÛÛÛ۲ܺ º°²ÛÛÛÛ° ß ß°ÛÛÛÛ²ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶ²ÛÛÛÛ°ß Ü °°²ÛÛÛÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍQUOTES¶¹ÛÛÛ²°° Ü Ü °ÜÜ ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛº ºÛÛÛÛÛÛßß ÜÜ° ß°²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜܺ The expectations of life depend upon diligence; ºÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²°ß ß°²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜܺ the mechanic that would perfect his work must ºÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²°ß ß°²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜܺ first sharpen his tools. ºÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²°ß ß°²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜܺ ºÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²°ß ß°²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜܺ -- Confucius ºÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²°ß °²ÛÛÛÛÛÜ°° ܺ ºÜ °°ÜÛÛÛÛÛ²° °ÜÜ ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄĶÛÛÛÛÛÛßß ÜÜ° ß°²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ͹ÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²°ß ÜÜßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄGROUP NEWS¶ÛÛÛÛÛÛßß ÜÜ° Ü°²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛܺ DeBT is in need of SECURE affils ºÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²°ß °²ÛÛÛÛÛÜ°° º ºÜ °°ÜÛÛÛÛÛ²° °ÛÛÛÛ²°°ß º pre-release suppliers, bookware º° ß°°²ÛÛÛÛ°ß °²ÛÛÛ²²° º ºÜ °²²ÛÛÛ²° ßß°ÛÛÛ²°Üܺ suppliers, iNT rippers, shell accounts, º°ÜÜ°²ÛÛÛ°ßß ß ÜÛÛÛß°º º°°ßÛÛÛÜ ß °°ÜÜÛº coders, crackers and anything else ºÛÛÜÜ°° ÜÜ°ßÛÛÛÛÛº ºÛÛÛÛÛÛß°Üß °²ÛÛÛÛÛ²°º that may be of use to us. º°²ÛÛÛÛÛ²° °²ÛÛÛÛ²°°º º°°²ÛÛÛÛ²° Üß°ÛÛÛÛ²°ßº ºß°²ÛÛÛÛ°ßÜ ° ß²ÛÛÛÛß º ºÜ°ÛÛÛÛ²ß ° ß °ÛÛÛ۲ܺ DeBT is dedicated to bringing º°²ÛÛÛÛ° ß ß°ÛÛÛÛ²º º²ÛÛÛÛ°ß Ü °°²ÛÛÛº you the best of the old, new and forgotten in a ºÛÛÛ²°° Ü Ü ÜÜßßÛÛÛÛÛÛº ºÛÛÛÛÛÛßß ÜÜ° Ü°²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛܺ variety of sections.
