I’ve had swallow my tears on replay for the past couple of weeks. I skipped through the remaining tracks today and wasn’t overly impressed but I’ve not taken the time to sit and fully listen to them. I usually love Gwens projects so I hope it grows on me!

most of the tracks are co-written by Cirkut. was it initially more pop album produced by Cirkut but it got reworked by country producer Scott Hendricks?

Y'all know I love Gwen, and I love, love, love No Doubt, but this album thus far is just okay for me. It might grow on me, but for now, the songs blend together and are largely forgettable. 

I'm glad she's happy, but I wish she could channel this into more "Cool"-like songs. 

The leaked ska-inspired scrapped songs from 2020 are so much better to me than these.

I thought it was ok but only just. I just can't get over how she's barely focused on new music since getting with Blake. Since she got with him in late 2015, this is only the second album she's made in 9 years (a Christmas album of mostly covers doesn't count). This was a very short album too, of just 10 songs. For your first studio album in 8 years, it should be longer than this. It's like marrying a country dude has rubbed off on her to the point where she feels she has to become a country artist too and while it works decently at her age and life status, it's like she's lost all the edge she had back when she was ska/pop rock goddess Gwen. I get it, marriage and kids mellows you, Pink's the greatest example of that. But then you've got the likes of Madonna, Shakira, Cardi B, J-Lo, etc. whom domesticity didn't slow them down or make them change their attitude towards music at all. I sometimes wonder if she's ok with where her career is now. She was on top at the start of her solo career but post-divorce, she didn't seem to be as bothered and is now making middle of the road work that's totally different. I just hope she's happy with her choice.
