What You Waiting For?
Gwen Stefani
The wait is over. Gwen Stefani releases her highly anticipated debut solo single, ‘What You Waiting For?’ on November 8 th through Interscope records.
Gwen wrote the eighties-inflicted dance track with Linda Perry. On ‘What You Waiting For ?’ Gwen sings about her nervousness about launching a solo career against a jumping club beat.
The single is taken from Gwen’s forthcoming abum ‘Love Angel Music Baby’ which will be released on November 22 nd. It is already being talked about as one of the must-have albums of the year. The album includes collaborations with The Neptunes, Andre 3000 from Outkast and New Order.
Gwen Stefani is one of the most unique artists of recent times. She can switch from performing on Stadium tours across America with Blink 182 to playing Leonardo Di Caprio’s girlfriend in the forthcoming Hollywood epic, ‘The Aviator’ to singing on a Grammy-winning hip-hop anthem with Eve.
The music video deals directly with the lyrics of the song and features Stefani searching for inspiration in songwriting. The video starts off with a lengthy non-musical section in which Stefani arrives back in Los Angeles from No Doubt's Rock Steady tour. Despite Stefani being tired and wishing to "sleep", Jimmy Iovine, Gwen's manager, calls on the way home from LAX in an attempt to inspire Gwen to push forward with her solo project thoiugh she decline claiming that she needs to be inspired. The rest of this section of the video shows Stefani fruitlessly trying to write music, while dealing with a bad case of writer's block and while at a vending machine she sees a flyer advertising help for this. On arrival she fills out a form as asked and asks when will she be finished at which points she realies that she is back in the studio with a time large pocket watch on he piano ticking away. A mysterious Japanese toy runs across the top of piano causing her to fall back on her chair and freeze at which point she is transported to a surreal fantasy like environment with an Alice in Wonderland theme. The video often cuts back to Gwen back in the studio, still in her frozrn state singing as the song records itself. Stefani soon rediscovers her confidence and by the end of the song, she is transported back to reality and unfrozen, breaking into an engergetic performance of the song to the pleasure of her mysterious Harajuku Girls. "What You Waiting For?" has also been cited as one of music's most fashionable videos for its extravagant gowns.
