Can we all pledge to support Gewn Stefani & her new album?

[nostalgia]

Hey ATRL, it's time we stand up for the queen that's always had our back—Gwen Stefani. She's been there for us, the gheys, through thick and thin, always giving us exactly what we wanted with pop masterpieces like LAMB, Now That You Got It, Wind It Up, and Cool. These are the tracks we still bop and will continue to love forever. It honestly breaks my heart to see her pouring her soul into this new album, yet the general public is dragging her because of ageism and misogyny.
 

The same people who never hesitated to scream "Gwen is the blueprint" back in the day are now acting like they don't know her. And let's not forget how she's always been there for the LGBT community—remember her supporting us when we needed it most? Yet, we let her down with Slow Clap. It's so frustrating.
 

The girl needs our support, more than ever. If Bouquet flops, we might never get music from her again, and we can't let that happen. I'm asking you, as someone who knows what she's done for us, please, let's give Gwen the love she deserves right now. Just like how we supported Cher when she was in her 50s during Believe era and reintroduced her to the GeePee. She's always given us everything, it's time we do the same.

 

 

[HASHTAGPOW]

Yes. We need more Japanese representation.

[Innocencelost]

her influence needs to be studied. Bouquet is a great record, she deserves every ounce of success. (including NTYGI is unhinged though)

[Slap]

I'm so sick of Gwen fans being so negative about her, it's a good album. The lyrics are beautiful and the songwriting is gorgeous as are her vocals which convey so much genuine vulnerability and emotion. People do the most with her. 
 

[dumbsparce]

Well no. Her material from 2016 onwards SUCKS and it's not the Gwen we grew up with. I understand that she's multi faceted and I don't expect cultural resets like What You Waiting For or Wind It Up from her at this point but come ooonnn.. you can't even channel No Doubt anymore?? I fear that Settle Down was the last time ever she gave me everything I needed to be given.

As a proud non-Japanese Japanese person, I will always root for Gwenny-san!

[Reginald]

Is she being dragged? I have seen no discussion of this era whatsoever outside of ATRL No Doubt's discography, LAMB, and TSE will always be great, though.

[James_Dean]

I purchased a signed vinyl from my local indie store 

[JO1s]

No.

 

[PopKills]

No, even 143 serves more interesting and better music and visuals, that's how much she has fallen off. 

[Minto]

so we should support her crap music so she doesn't quit making….crap music? what do we gain from dis 

[skwonderfactory]

Yes! I bought the Target exclusive edition of the vinyl and on the go she will have my listens via FLAC files on my MP3 player.

[Orsay]

Yes we will be supporting Goon Stefani

[.Odyssey.]

I pledge allegiance to Gwen Stefani!

[l3disko]

Nah, just listened to some tracks and found them REALLY REALLY boring, generic, and forgettable.
