Spark The Fire performance tonight, Good Morning America interview

Monday, December 1st, 2014

Hello! Don’t forget to watch The Voice tonight to see Gwen and Pharrell perform “Spark The Fire” live! Apparently, the song was available to purchase online very early this morning, but has since been pulled. Perhaps the official release isn’t supposed to be until tonight after The Voice performance?

Gwen was on Good Morning America this morning, and ABC has posted a video with clips from the interview, as well as some more preview clips of the “Spark The Fire” music video! Here is the video:

From the ABC web site:

“Gwen Stefani Previews New ‘Spark the Fire’ Music Video on ‘GMA’
Dec 1, 2014, 8:39 AM ET
By LAWRENCE DECHANT via Good Morning America

Grammy award-winning Gwen Stefani is blazing her way to the top of the charts with her new single, “Spark the Fire.”

“Good Morning America” got a preview of a new video for the song that shows Stefani, 45, dancing in a club with her thoughts conveyed on-screen by emoji’s.

“It’s kind of a clash … this punk rock, kind of old-school feeling, club feeling,” the singer told ABC News, “but [with] this really modern emoji world, and it just looks really cool together.”

Her latest single is her third collaboration with her longtime friend, Pharrell Williams.

“To have him back in my life again unexpectedly has been just incredible,” she said. “I keep calling him the ‘Yoda meets Oprah,’ because he’s got this forceful, amazing way of speaking and inspiring you.”

It’s been eight years since Stefani’s last solo album, and she said this one was unexpected.

“All of the sudden, I’m doing this record, which I definitely did not plan,” she said. “That’s probably what I love the most about it, is not knowing and just kind of being free and just doing it, and letting the surprises happen.”

Apart from music and fashion, Stefani also juggles life as a mother of three. Her children — Kingston, 8, Zuma, 6, and Apollo, 9 months — often weigh in on her music.

“I do use the kids for bouncing off songs, to be like, ‘Is this one going to be big? Do you like this one?,’” she said. “Because they know, and Kingston will be like, ‘You gotta make a song that’s going to be really big, mom.’””

Thursday, November 6th, 2014

Hello! It’s being reported that Gwen will perform “Baby Don’t Lie” on The Voice on November 11! From Headline Planet:

“”The Voice” coaches Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani will step out of their red chairs and onto NBC’s “The Voice” stage.

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014

Hello! Calvin Harris’ upcoming album is now available to stream on iTunes, ahead of it’s official November 4 release. Gwen collaborated with him on track 13, entitled “Together”. Click here to listen in iTunes!

Also, this article from Headline Planet states that Gwen’s single “Baby Don’t Lie” is the most-added song this week at Hot AC radio network! From the article:

“Gwen Stefani’s “Baby Don’t Lie” is gains significant early traction at Hot AC. OneRepublic’s “I Lived” adds to its support base.

That Gwen Stefani’s “Baby Don’t Lie” has thus far made its largest splash at pop radio does not mean it is unappealing to those in the hot adult contemporary genre.

Already the #34 song at Hot AC, Stefani’s comeback single ranks as the format’s most-added song this week, says Mediabase.

“Baby Don’t Lie” tops the add board thanks to support from 21 monitored stations. The latest round of pickups puts the single in position to leave a significant mark on the format.”

We Can Survive concert

Saturday, October 25th, 2014

Hello! Gwen performed at the second annual CBS Radio We Can Survive concert last night at the Hollywood bowl!

From this CBS article:

“There was no shortage of highlights at the second CBS Radio We Can Survive concert, which took place at the Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 24. Not only was the stage shared by Taylor Swift, Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande, and a handful of other heavyweight acts, there were fireworks and confetti, surprise guests, and a nonstop stream of hits.”

““We are here to celebrate women tonight and their survival,” he said mid-way through his opener “Come Get It Bae,” where the hat-clad artist was joined by his backup dancers, the Baes, and, later in the evening, Gwen Stefani—who Pharrell introduced as his sister and the queen, acting as her hype man throughout a particularly stomping rendition of her 2004 hit “Hollaback Girl.””

Here are some videos:
