Ciara - The Evolution

Since her debut album, Goodies, Ciara went through a high profile relationship with rapper Bow Wow, became a household name and did a lot of growing up. The Evolution features 15 new tracks and five interludes from the princess of crunk, with appearances by some of the biggest names in the game. The album has some catchy tunes but Ciara should have done a better job at cutting out the mediocre songs on this disc cuz it doesn't live up to what we heard on Goodies.

Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape

The yummiest mommy around, Gwen Stefani, is back with a new disc of dance-worthy tunes! In true Gwen Stefani style, she has re-invented her image and sound once again for The Sweet Escape. If you're looking for a cookie-cutter copy of her last album, Love.Angel.Music.Baby then you should pass this one by. But anyone who has come to love Gwen's fresh, original beats will fall in love this album the first time they take a spin through the tracks.

Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape Fun Facts

Gwen Stefani teamed up with former No Doubt band member Tony Kanal to write three of the songs on The Sweet Escape.

Pharrell Williams and The Neptunes lent a hand again to help produce The Sweet Escape. Pharrell also co-wrote a few songs on the disc.

Wonderful Life was actually written for Love.Angel.Music.Baby but it got left on the cutting room floor and was brought back for The Sweet Escape.

Gwen Stefani will head out on a North American tour for The Sweet Escape starting in April 2007. Don't worry about little Kingston - he'll be going along with her!
