On No Doubt's M.I.A.-tinged comeback hit, "Settle Down," Gwen Stefani reminded us how a true food-court princess gets down. The band calls this Diplo-produced track its "Bohemian Rhapsody." It stacks SoCal ska, a big alt-rock chorus, dancehall flow and electro undergroove until it sounds like two and a half No Doubt songs at once. Luckily, Gwen's beach-blanket B-girl flow ("Speeding it up like soca/ ...On another level like we doin' yoga") holds this down to earth.
