******* ****, ****! I LOVE Gwen, but this is pissing me off. 

This is boring! I'm bored with this ****.

Give us new No Doubt material or classic solo Gwen.

This is SO good and SO Gwen...Blake is gonna put some you off (I get it), but the song is FANTASTIC and i am so excited for the album now.

It's basically a No Doubt song ft. Blake Shelton lol...there is no country here.

Is the Album confirmed?

Okay but... why is this song credited to Warner Music Nashville and not Interscope?

.It seems to be a joint release with Warner pushing it on country radio, and maybe a workaround for the UMG tiktok ban lol.

This song is actually quite dark lol.

sounds like country to me. so nice and breezy. i love her vocal!

 

not her best single, but the most obvious single choice since TSE era.

You think? to me if Blake wasn't on it, and it was on Push and Shove , nobody would bat an eye! But it is just country adjacent enough that it could be a hit on country radio, and hopefully help it crossover. 

And yeah, her vocals are gorgeous! Makes me so excited for her album.

her vocals are on point, the song sounds like a bop, but I get while it's pissing people off he's on the track especially after the ND reunion announced

I think people just want old Gwen back but she has evolved, we will never have the it-girl Gwen from the 90s/00s

Blake is the gift with purchase you throw away when you get home b/c you only wanted what you bought!! ENOUGH GWEN!

It's a good album that was marketed weirdly. Both Settle Down and Push and Shove as singles were kinda weird. They're clunky songs with complex earworms: they aren't as immediate or lush in melody like some other songs on that album (Gravity, Easy, etc)

 

If Looking Hot was less...that...and more on the nose with Gwen voguing, and One More Summer dropped as a single, I think it would've fared better.

agreed!! Purple Irises reminds me of Dreaming the Same Dream, but with a bigger, grander chorus.

Hold up. DTSD is the best song of 2012 so this has me very intrigued

That explains how she was able to use the song in that tiktok

Getting tiktok promo too!
 


And country radio promo!

She could actually get herself a hit out of this one if they play their cards right.

i just listened to it. it's pretty good; it sounds more intentional than her last few releases.

 

just feel like the chorus and verses are kinda at odds with eachother, the verses sound veeery ND but the chorus sounds like it belongs to a different song altogether. we'll see how it shakes out with repeated listens.

 

edit: the bridge is something straight outta LAMB.

This is actually beautiful! Definitely agree that it's giving Dreaming The Same Dream in the verses, it also reminds me of Undone a bit. Overall it's more classic rock than country, which I appreciate. And surprisingly I can even tolerate Blake's vocals? Now let me keep streaming and keep my fingers crossed that this will do well enough for her label and team to finally greenlight the album release.

I wish it had someone else on it. Enough songs with him already. The song's not bad and actually sounds very Gwen.
