Music Video of the Day: Early Winter by Gwen Stefani (2007, dir by Sophie Muller)


An early winter sounds nice but, of course, we have to deal with the summer first.  Bleh.

By the way, that is Steelo Vasquez playing Gwen’s boyfriend in this video.  He was a dancer on The Sweet Escape Tour.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Crash by Gwen Stefani (2006, dir by Sophie Muller)


This is probably the most energetic song about a crash that’s ever been written.  Of course, the song is actually about a relationship that’s a lot like a car crash.  The important thing is that Gwen Stefani’s a natural-born star, even when she’s dressed like someone who just broke out of prison.  This is a fun song to sing and dance along too.  Just don’t drive while listening to it, for obvious reasons.

This song was written by Linda Perry, who writes songs for everyone.  She probably wrote a song while you were reading this post.  Ariana Grande will probably record it next week and everyone will describe it as being “her most personal song yet!”

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Slow Clap by Gwen Stefani (2021, directd by Matty Peacock)


“Clap clap….”

Gwen Stefani goes back to high school and, let’s be honest, I think she’s the only 50-something out there who could pull this off. I’m guessing that she’s some sort of spirit of eternal youth and freedom in this video which, again, is probably something that only Gwen could have pulled off.

It’s a fun video. We need more fun in the world.

Enjoy!
