Those are the tracks on Gwen Stefani's upcoming album Love, Angel, Music, Baby that will be released on November 23rd.

So, just for the fun of it, which track sounds like a New Order track by the title :p

Obviously, some tracks already feature the collaboration, so it shouldn't be those..

Drop #1 from the list... The song — co-written with Linda Perry and produced by Nellee Hooper — starts with a sweet

Just Fine=Fine Time rehash

I picked " Just Fine ". Somehow I can picture NO being behind a song with that name and because I can almost hear Bernard Sumner crooning the title in the song somewhere.

It's anybody's guess though really. I never would of thought they'd do songs entitled Vietnam or Player in the League heh.

I'm trying to get a promo out of this... I guess it can be done, but damn it, it's always complicated to do this via internet... I should call!

That'll be the first "new" New Order song since Vietnam after all!

I'd say Criminal, myself; wasn't that the title of the supposed new song of theirs that Hooky played on one of his first DJing gigs?

Every single song on the album is attributed to someone else...my guess is that they wrote the track and Kanal worked on it as well....

I've researched the tracks and none seems to be attributed to NO (at least solely) so far.

Is there a New Order track, or is it a hoax?

WHO WORKED ON THE ALBUMFor the album Gwen worked with the following:

  • R&B producer Dallas Austin Who has previously worked with Madonna (Bedtime Stories). Early June on the official forum Gwen wrote: " I had a couple of challenging weeks. Things are getting better. I have been in the studio with Dallas Austin trying to write some songs. Long hours 9:30 pm till 4 or 5 in the morning. Sounds like a lot of fun but hard. I feel exhausted. We wrote some pretty cool songs. Need to find some words hope they come. Good news is I had two days off. " Worked on P!nk's M!ssundaztood album.
  • Neptune's Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo Took a break from their album to work on Gwen's in December 2003. "Gwen is a monster; she's beautiful to look at, but [in her heart] she is a monster," Williams said. "We like to go in different directions, me and Chad, and Gwen is totally with that."
  • Linda Perry. Who has worked with Pink. "[She] actually put me in a headlock at the Grammys and was like, 'We have to do something together!" says Stefani.
  • Mary J. Blige
  • Missy Elliott Also performed a cover of the Prince song Kiss with Gwen and Alicia Keys at the BRIT awards on Feb 19th 2004.she and Stefani were still discussing concepts and didn't have any finished tracks yet. "She came down to the studio and we vibed instantly, worked out a couple of ideas" she said. "But she's still figuring out her direction, so I'm waiting on her at the moment."
  • Outkast"It's kinda like mid-tempo, like Outkast," Big Boi said, "but something you wouldn't normally hear her on. ... You just submit something that you think might cause them to switch to something new, something where they don't do their usual [thing] on it, something where they sound a little different. Give it to her and see how she's freaking it and [how] she brings it back."
  • the Matrix (rumoured, according to one MTV report in December) Writes songs for Avril Lavigne and said they would love to work with Gwen.
  • Tim Armstrong Member of The Tranplants, wrote most of P!nk's album 'Try This' Brody Dalle's ex-husband.
  • the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart Gwen has previously written a song with him, 'Underneath It All' which they wrote in 10 minutes
  • Dr Dre Gwen worked with him in July 2003. She wrote the following on the official forum. "I have another new song started. I have so many words to write. Sometimes I just feel like an empty body with nothing to say. Lets hope tonight is a good word night and I come up with something intresting. Dre got cancled for tomorrow so I'm off the hook one more day!!"
  • Damon Elliott Produced some tracks on P!nk's M!ssundaztood album. No details on contribution yet.
  • Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
  • Rich Harrison : Produced Beyonce's Crazy In Love as well as Duran Duran and Jennifer Lopez. Worked on a track with Gwen called Parental Advisory. Worked with Gwen before the tour with Blink and is scheduled to work with her after. "She's got street cred from doing that Eve record ['Let Me Blow Ya Mind']," Harrison said. "I know thugs at home who be like, 'Yo, that Gwen Stefani ... Shorty's a'ight.' And when I told her that, she didn't believe me. My engineer had to confirm it. The fact that she came over to this side of music and did something with Eve, and it was hot and she sounded great and looked good, just comes across really well. She's from Anaheim, so it was funny when she was in the studio, she was all like, 'West Side Anaheim, fool!' And she says that on the record."
  • Tony Kanal July 2003 Gwen wrote about the new song with Tony: "Hey friday night. Tony and I wrote a new song this week. We love it and are super excited about it. can't wait to show you all the new music. "

Taken from MTV in December 2003: One of Gwen's favorite songs on the album. Gwen went back to Los Angeles in May 2003 to join her husband, Gavin Rossdale, who was shooting a video with the Blue Man Group for "The Current." She started to feel overwhelmed by her task at hand, so she sought solace from Kanal, thinking that visiting her bandmate would give her a much-needed break. "I just had a breakdown," she said. "I was like, 'I gotta stop now, I have nothing to write about, I can't do it anymore.' So I left the studio, and went over to Tony's house, because he was like 'Come over, we're going to all go out!' " Instead of going out, however, Stefani found that Kanal had a surprise waiting for her at his home studio. "He starts, 'Hey, lemme play you some tracks,' " she said, "and he plays me this track he's doing for another singer, and I was blown away. And then he goes, 'Lemme play you some tracks I've been doing for you!' So he played me this track, and it was like, instant." Stefani said she's always wanted to write with Kanal, and that he would feel the same was no surprise. But to be on the same page was the trick, since she felt like she was going in a different musical direction. "Tony and I kinda came from different schools," she explained. "There's a certain kind of record I'm trying to make; it comes from something that we used to listen to growing up, so it's more of a dance kind of thing." Happy to find her writer's block cured, she hunkered down with Kanal and worked out the as-yet-untitled song with him that very night, calling it "probably my favorite track that I've written so far." But unfortunately, she said, the magic only struck once — they tried to write together for two weeks straight after that, and couldn't find a place where they clicked quite the same way. "It's so hard!" she laughed. "But it will for sure be on the record."


POSSIBLE TRACKS These are all tracks that have been written for the album, some might not make the final cut however.

Long Way to Go: Written by Andre 3000, Long Way To Go is designed as a duet about interracial relationships. Andre had intended it for his own solo album "We thought it would be a cool concept," he said, "talking about a girl that didn't have the same color as your skin, but it's a cooler concept for her album." Gwen said 'It's such a special song that whatever I did contribute is enough.'

Parental Advisory: Produced by Rich Harrison (Beyonce's Crazy In Love) the song is a stab at dancers with moves better suited for the strip clubs than the dance clubs.

"It's kind of a tongue-in-cheek record. It's about somebody who dances in a really suggestive way. Like, 'I need supervision when I'm around you! IIn her lyrics, Gwen painted the scene really well. She told me, 'I would never be crazy over some guy who danced suggestively. That's so corny. But let's write a song about people who would.' She came up with the concept, and I put gas on the fire." -Rich Harrison (producer) Harrison describes the track as having an early '80s influence, though it may seem strange that after scoring big with a song sampling the Chi-Lites' blaring horns he left other people's music off "Parental Advisory," even if it doesn't sound like it. "It's very Club Nouveau-ish or Deborah Harry," he said. "A lot of synthesizers and big drums. There are no samples, but it feels like a sample ... of Club Nouveau."

Crash: Written with Tony Kanal

Serious: Written with Tony Kanal

Can't Stop The Music: Written with Linda Perry

Criminal: Written with Linda Perry

Just Fine: Written with Linda Perry

What You Waiting For?: Written with Linda Perry. Will be the first single for release in October.

Bubble Pop Electric: Outkast's Andre 3000 lends a broadway musical vibe and stefani comes across like a cross between the andrew sisters and underground electric diva peaches.

Wonderful Life For Him: Written with Linda Perry.First Gwen abandoned this song as it was very personal to her. Then she rediscovered it six months later and thought 'wow this song's great!' It was a song she wrote for this boy she went out with in high school. who meant a lot to her- like her first kissing boyfriend-and he actually died a year ago. She said 'I haven't know him all those years, but he was a huge part of my life. He gave me a huge thing, which is the first time you love someone. Even if it's high school. So I wrote this song called "Wonderful Life For Him" with Linda. But the amazing thing about that song was that this guy was the first person to turn me on to Depeche Mode and the Cure. So I got one of his heroes to play on that song.
