The sad "Simple Kind of Life" never sounded so sweet as it does on the acoustic version on this single. Gwen Stefani's breathy singing gives you chills instantly. The slightly dark "Beauty Contest" comes through much like a hybrid of what sounds like "Marry Me" and some missing lyrics from a possibly early edition of "Magic's in the Makeup", with some beautiful and eerie vocalizing. Be sure to listen to the last couple of seconds for a cute little surprise. Trust me it'll bring a smile to your face. All in all, a perfect buy for any No Doubt fan, or even a fan of enhanced cd's (the digital clarity is perfect in the cd-rom music video). Buy this NOW, and you'll have no doubts about it.
This disc is one of the best tracks on the Return of Staurn album, plus you also get some unreleased stuff! The video is awesome as well! A great buy for a long time No Doubt or a new one! Any No Doubt fan would be happy to have this in their collection!
