Gwen Stefani - “True Babe” + 5th Album
- Thread starter mindtrappa
- Start date
At this point I'm not sure if actually exists in studio form. For all the other songs we got over the years, we had snippets or at the very least knew they were circulating (or still are, like the Marshmello collab, I'm So Sick). I hate to say it, but I wouldn't be surprised if she never actually recorded Start A War and only ever performed it that one time eight (!) years ago.

You might be right you know, makes me so sad - AI needs to hurry up and start making studio versions from live rips honestly!
She's back to lying about teasing the new album and of course talking about life with Blake.

This has literally been her M.O. for her entire career dd. Sis was walking around in bindis when she was with Tony, like let’s not rewrite history now!
Right. Like sure, drag her if you want but you can’t say she’s ever changed who she is. If Gwen is gonna be two things it’s flaky about her solo career and hopelessly devoted to her man nn.
Listening to this once again and dreaming of what could have been ":("

It's nice that she's still excited about the new music and she seemingly has an idea of what the album sounds like now, as opposed to a few months ago where she wasn't sure what direction it was going to take.
I kind of hate True Babe dddd. It never grew on me. So I'm sort of on the fence about anticipating a new album (that has been "coming" for 3 years...).
On the topic of Gwen's identity revolving around her men, I will give people a little slack for once here cuz I was thinking about it and realized if you really only started checking for Gwen during LAMB and The Sweet Escape, I can see how that element of her persona might have slipped by you. Gwen was all Gavin during Return of Saturn, but by the time we get to the solo debut they'd been married a few years, she'd found out about the love child, he'd fucked her around a lot at that point.... and as a result, I think she felt more like her own person. And Tragic Kingdom aside (which is an aesthetic she still revisits for nostalgia) I think that is the image of her people probably most have in mind too - the red lips, the Galiano gowns. The old Hollywood glam with a tiny bit of edge. That's not really her anymore.
I'll also say as much as I'm not a Blake fan, I'm willing to overlook some of the constant gushing because I think Gavin kept her in a state of insecurity for a long time.
