No Doubt – “Settle Down (Major Lazer Remix)”

by

A lot has changed since No Doubt sold an album to the public 11 years ago. For one, Jimmy Fallon went from SNL cut-up to cutting edge talk show host. For another, Diplo became a thing, as did his Switch-collabo project Major Lazer, as did the overarching blog-baiting remix economy. No Doubt is checking all of 2012′s promo boxes accordingly: They’ve played Fallon, they’ve collaborated with Major Lazer, and here, Gwen’s men present an obligatory (and lots of fun) dancehall Major Lazer remix of their new wave single “Settle Down.” Pop your collars:

No Doubt – “Settle Down” Video

by

No Doubt are getting ready to come back with Push And Shove, their first new LP in 11 years. Yesterday, we heard “Settle Down,” the lilting and weirdly overlong first single. And last night, the band debuted the video, which they made with their old director comrade Sophie Muller. In the clip, the band’s four members play truck drivers on their way toward some sort of exoticized island party. Gwen Stefani, hearteningly, still looks exactly the same in the video as she did in 1996, right down to the Cali mall-ska wardrobe. I’m not even sure where you find skintight zipper-pants at this late date, but she evidently knows. Watch the video below.

No Doubt – “Settle Down”

by

No Doubt’s last studio album came out 11 years ago, but they’re coming back in fall with the new LP Push And Shove, and they worked with Major Lazer on it. Today, they debut first single “Settle Down,” a lithe and bubbly new-wave track that somehow lasts for six minutes. The track echoes Santigold in the same way that Santigold’s music echoes No Doubt, if that makes any sense at all. The video, directed by their “Don’t Speak” collaborator Sophie Muller, should be arriving today. Below, stream the song and check out a teaser trailer for the video.
