If anyone looked set to be a solo megastar once they had dumped the band who helped them make their name it was Gwen Stefani. And yet, while her profile is higher than ever, her records haven’t exactly been the stuff of legend. However, her previous efforts feel like works of genius compared to this bafflingly bad effort. For no apparent reason it samples ‘The Lonely Goatherd’ from The Sound Of Music and features Gwen yodelling over a complete non-entity of a backing track. Perhaps the worst record of the year.
