Il recente ritorno della musica pop ha suscitato discussioni, specialmente dopo il debutto dell’album Bouquet di Gwen Stefani, che ha registrato risultati deludenti nella Billboard Hot 200, collocandosi al 95° posto con 13.000 vendite. Un confronto con il comeback di Jennifer Lopez, che ha raggiunto il 38° posto con il suo lavoro This Is Me Now vendendo 14.000 copie, mostra chiaramente un trend negativo per l’artista dei No Doubt. Malgrado il disco possa contenere brani di qualità, la scarsa visibilità ha limitato il successo del progetto.

un debutto problematico
Anche il singolo estratto dall’album, Somebody Else’s, si sta dimostrando in difficoltà. Attualmente, il brano è presente su iTunes in Nuova Zelanda con una posizione non significativa, mentre su Apple Music e Spotify non compare affatto. Il video musicale ha ottenuto solamente 600.000 visualizzazioni, un risultato modesto persino al confronto con concorrenti emersi in contesti simili.
considerazioni sul nuovo album
Il progetto Bouquet contiene tracce che meritano un maggiore riconoscimento e attenzione rispetto ai risultati attuali, facendo sorgere un certo rammarico. A tal proposito, si evidenzia la posizione dell’album che non rende giustizia all’impegno artistico dell’interprete.
testo di “somebody else’s”
I don’t know what a heart like mine
Was doin’ in a love like that, ahh-ah
And doin’ in a love so bad
But I know, I know, I know, I know now
I don’t know what a woman like me
Was doin’ with a man like you, ooh
But now I got a love so true
But I know, I know, I know, I know crazy
Now that I found the real thing
You don’t compare
And I don’t care
You’re somebody else’s
And it doesn’t even break my heart
You’re somebody else’s
And I pray for them, whoever they are
Oh, every day with you is rock bottom
Leavin’ you saved me, my god
Look at me blossom
You’re somebody else’s problem
I didn’t know that somethin’ so fake
Could really make it hurt so real, ahh-ah
And how’d you go and make it feel
Like my fault, my fault, my fault, my fault, wow
If I could go back in time
I would erase you, ooh-ooh
But I could never go back there
I might be wild, but I ain’t that crazy
Now that you’re dead to me
I feel so alive
And you’re not mine
You’re somebody else’s
And it doesn’t even break my heart
You’re somebody else’s
And I pray for them, whoever they are
Oh, every day with you was rock bottom
Leavin’ you saved me, my god
Look at me blossom
You’re somebody else’s problem
You’re somebody else’s (somebody else’s)
You’re somebody else’s
Narcissistic, semi-psychotic
So manipulated I bought it
Every time, but not this time
You gaslit my world, it was burning
Had to leave before it stopped turning
So happy I could cry
‘Cause you’re not mine
You’re somebody else’s (somebody else’s)
And it doesn’t even break my heart
You’re somebody else’s (somebody else’s)
And I pray for them, whoever they are
Oh, every day with you was rock bottom
Leavin’ you saved me, my god
Look at me blossom
You’re somebody else’s problem
