No Doubt: Push & Shove Released Today! New Single: Looking Hot


Who else is “…feelin’ hella good” today? The new No Doubt CD is out today (after 11 years!) and they are thankfully all over the place promoting it. Check out their performance of their second single, Looking Hot from The Ellen Show. This single has got to be a hit: 

  • Adrian Young's opening drum line that has a little REM Orange Crush sound to it.
  • Tom Dumont's guitar line.
  • Tony Kanal's bass line.
  • The classic Stefani vocal.
  • An ultra-catchy chorus ("Do you think I'm looking hot.../Go ahead and stare/And take a picture please if you need/Yeah, I think that says it all."
  • A horn-rich, reggae-ridden bridge section that transitions back into that ultra-catchy chorus. 
  • And lastly, the “oh… oh… oh” backing vocal by Stephen Bradley and Gabriel McNair is a really nice way to finish out the song. 
Welcome back, ND. All is right with music today. BSo
