Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton - "Purple Irises"


Recommended Posts

I wanted an upbeat pop dance banger as well, but I think she is afraid to take any more solo risks. True Babe, while good, made zero noise as did Slow Clap and Let Me Reintroduce Myself, where-as her Christmas song with Blake always charts so she is riding him and his country wave :)

That single cover was a choice

But what is this? A song for her new album? A duet album like Jay Z and Beyonce? Anyway at least her label and her found a way to have a minor hit.

I just can’t believe this is the same woman that gave us LAMB and The Sweet Escape :gaycat6:

I just hope an album that's more experimental isn't too far away. Even This Is What the Truth Feels Like had its moment and is a damn solid record in its own right!

waste no time to get album out

Hate to say it but her most interesting musical output last decade were with Blake Shelton. 

:clack:

 

She seems like she cannot reinvent with her own music.

 

I'll take this.

I understand any opinions about the music itself not being your cup of tea, and this not being the version of Gwen you want...but the idea that it's tone deaf to release country music (which this song only barely could qualify as) in today's world? I'm not even sure what that means lol...it's a genre of music, not an ideology.

This is extremely untrue. Have you lived in the American deep south? Country music is not just a genre of music. It is an entire ideology, a culture, nearly cult-like at times and essentially exclusively white. Aligning herself with this is so tonedeaf to what her audience once was and the world today. Hopefully this is not her plan.

That' just not true. Yes, there are many country artists, and country fans, that align themselves with the worldview you are speaking about...that does NOT mean that Country music is THAT...there are tonsss of examples of country artists that stand for exactly the opposite of the worldview you are speaking of.

Sis no. You gotta open your eyes. The country scene actively attacks the left and any/all progresive movements. The biggest country song of the last few years actively promoted white nationalism and fighting for easier gun ownership (ironically from an artist who was nearly was killed in the Vegas shooting:rip:). Dont get me started on Morgan Wallen. You're wrong here. It isn't the 90's anymore when Dolly and Reba were popular.

 

Gwen should stay far away unless she wants to be in that scene.

The majority of the country scene/fanbase...but far from the entire scene/fanbase...and to not make that distinction is a huge mistake imo, because there are literally millions of progressive country fans, and tons of progressive people working in the country music industry. But agree to disagree.

this is sad.

The song isn’t even remotely country so I’m not sure why there’s so much talk about that. Blake is the only country thing about it.
 

The instrumental is kind of giving Malibu by Hole. I’m (semi-)seated.

The second I see his name on the track I do not even listen to it once
