Any hopes that Gwen had actually been incarcerated for (previous single) Wind It Up are dashed when it turns out the prison thing was just a ruse to get Akon involved. Akon, as we all know, can only sing about life at the Big House and it seems to be striking a chord with the kind of people who buy a lot of ringtones. Gwen must have sniffed a hit single and decided that slumming it on some prison visits was worthwhile.
In fact, The Sweet Escape is preposterous slow jam/lullaby thing that doesn't work the first time you hear it, and then somehow over time manages to become actually rather marvellous. Still, not as good as some of the proper songs on her album which she inexplicably decided not to release as singles i.e. Early Winter and Wonderful Life.

At first I wasn't that much keen on this song,probably because of that call out bit Akon does, but now it has grown on me. It is a good song to listen to and Gwen has a great voice! She also looks stunning to in the video!

Gwen does it again!
13 April 2007
Format:Audio CD
This is a GREAT song. Gwen is back in the groove is all I can say with The Sweet Escape, it's catchy and I am driving all my friends mad by playing it over and over again!
Gwen has an amazing voice, she can do so much with it, from rap, to ballads, to pop to rock, you name it this girl can belt it out with the best of them.
Long may she continue!

Definitely Sweet

Although there are very few songs and artists that have really made great strides this past year, there actually have been surprising ones that really have been very interesting. In the case of Gwen Stefani and Akon, they definitely know how to make a good collaboration. The Sweet Escape, the title track from Gwen's sophmore album is very catchy and upbeat. I like the song because it really is one of the better songs released so far this year. The song doesn't seem to lose its luster, unlike other ones that are just manufactured. I really hope that Gwen & Akon do another great song like this one soon.

Love it!

I thought "Rich Girl " was just okay but I haated "Hollaback Girl." Gwen should not rap! She should SING and she sings this time which is great. So the radio may have overplayed "The Sweet Escape"--it's ok. It deserved to be overplayed. This is definately Gwen's best song. It features the current favorite Akon and his singing is good too. I normally don't like his songs but I liked him on "The Sweet Escape." He's also barely in it. I liked Gwen in No Doubt and she's pretty good solo too. She's very versatile and I think this is her best single.
