No Doubt Go New Wave
Interesting news. “Stand and Deliver,” the first song recorded by the reunited No Doubt, leaked yesterday, nearly a month before the band was due to perform the song on a flashback episode of Gossip Girl. Like No Doubt’s cover of Talk Talk’s “It’s My Life,” Gwen Stefani and her bandmates manage to take Adam & The Ants’ Prince Charming hit and skew it both more modern and more new wave. Stefani replaces Ant’s thick British vocals from the original with her own valley girl cadence, befitting of the band’s role as early ’80s Los Angeles rockers on Gossip Girl. That episode, a “backdoor pilot” for a GG spin-off series, will air May 11th.
