It's been eleven years since the release of
No Doubt's last album, which is way too long for me. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of recording time and countless pictures of
Gwen in a dark studio, the band just released a new single. "
Settle Down" is the result of a much buzzed about return to music. It's the lead single off of their upcoming album,
Push And Shove, which is due September 25. The song isn't quite a return to the sound of
Tragic Kingdom, but it's definitely
No Doubt. Instead of "
Excuse Me Mr." or "
Just A Girl", think more towards the direction of an updated
Rock Steady. The song both begins and ends with extended instrumentals and the chorus is pretty massive. I'm officially ready for the full album.
Check out the music video for "
Settle Down", which features an odd trucker theme and some classic
No Doubt imagery.
