And it is amazing. ‘Push And Shove,’ the second single to be released from the band’s first album in over a decade, stays true to No Doubt’s original sound whilst exploring elements of the revamped style of a modern day No Doubt, echoing the sound of the band’s comeback single ‘Settle Down,’ and combining all of this with a style reminiscent of vocalist Gwen Stefani’s dance-pop solo career. The song also features reggae artist Busy Signal and rapper Major Lazer.
‘Push And Shove’ mixes all of these different styles at the same time and makes it work in a way that no other band could. No Doubt are one of the few bands that can change and experiment with their sound and still have their music be instantly recognised, due to their soaring choruses and signature reggae-influenced ska sound. And ‘Push And Shove’ is no exception; the ever-changing rhythm and many different influences add to and compliment No Doubt’s sound perfectly, giving them a song that bassist Tony Kanal describes as the band's own 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'
Overall, ‘Push And Shove’ really is an incredible song guaranteed to gain the band a whole new generation of fans whilst also appealing to their life-long fans. And despite how long No Doubt were gone, I’m glad they’re back and creating music together again. The song is a prime example of the bands new album and its completely phenomenal sound.
