  • Super sad. As someone of mixed euro-south asian background (although I identify more with the euro side of my background), I had a mad crush for Gwen Stefani in the 90s/2000s. She had an Indian boyfriend and wore the bindi in her video clips (as a hot blonde).

    And their music from the time is really fucking good. Tragic Kingdom and to a lesser extent Return Of Saturn have only gotten better with age. Stefani’s early solo stuff is solid too, not even close to Tragic Kingdom, but that’s a big mountain to cross.

    EDIT: Watched the Twitter video with Stefani, it looks like a parody. I have no issue with Lent or religiosity, but American-style Christianity is clearly fake. I say this as an atheist, but one that has read the Bible multiple times, both independently and as part of college courses.

    Bu that’s not it. The video/music in “Sunday Morning” is fun and full of optimist. You have the upbeat ska-rock, the 90s style slapstick video direction.

    And then you watch the Twitter video with Stefani shilling “the incredible 40 day [religious app] challenge” and immediately what comes to mind is “Fuck this!!!”
