Spark the Fire

Pharrell WilliamsSingle Release0 Comments

The artist releases Spark The Fire, from her yet to be titled album. This is one of several tracks that is produced by collaborator Pharrell for her third solo album. Stefani:

He’s like, ‘I’ve got to play you this. I have to play you this. And so he plays me this song, and it’s like magic. All it was was a beat and he was singing this melody on top and I just knew, that’s it. That night, after shooting all day, we went in the studio all night long, stayed up till four in the morning, came back, got on set and then didn’t finish.

Push And Shove

Busy SignalMajor LazerNo DoubtSingle Release0 Comments

The band releases their song, Push And Shove, featuring Busy Signal and Major Lazer, from the album with the same name. Stefani:

With this record, I kept waiting for the title to come, and everyone’s like ‘What’s it going to be?’ And up until the very last minute, we didn’t have anything. But I wasn’t worried about it; because it always appears at a certain point. Push and Shove the song was one of the tracks we were working on last … and we got so excited about that song, it just finally all came together, and it felt like the kind of song that was everything we’ve ever been, yet it was new and modern. The record had been such a journey, and so hard to actually finish, we really had to fight to get to the end … so it kind of rose to the top [as a title]; like ‘Yeah, that’s what this whole thing was.’ It just seemed to sum it all up.

I did this when Kingston (her child) was just 3 months old. I wanted a nostalgic number like Billy Idol’s Eyes Without A Face or Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time.

Hollaback Girl

Single Release0 Comments

I did the whole record, but I knew I didn’t have my attitude song – my ‘this is my history, f–k you because you can’t erase it’ song. I knew I wanted a song like that.
