Gwen Stefani released her second single off her upcoming album called Spark the Fire. Her next album comes out in 2015 but has no set release date or title. This is Stefani’s first solo effort since Sweet Escape, and her third solo album. Not only is Stefani known for her music, but she’s also known as a trendsetter, and designer with a fashion industry launching several brands.

The music video, which has the same aesthetic as Baby Don’t Lie, combines animation and live-action. The video starts with Stefani flying in on a cloud, and has a lot of mind-bending animation, including the producer of the song, Pharrell Williams. The setting switches between an anime-like city and a club, where a group of people dance in the background.

The beat of the song sounds a lot like some of Stefani’s older tracks, like Hollaback Girl, with a really catchy, pop beat. The lyrics offer a good message of feminism and being yourself.

Overall, it’s a pretty catchy song that goes back to Stefani’s roots. It spreads a good message and will probably gain popularity.
