Only Gwen Stefani would hear a hip-hop beat in Julie Andrews' yodeling on "The Lonely Goatherd" from "The Sound of Music." And only Stefani would be able to pull off mixing that sample with a more standard hip-hop thump. On "Wind It Up" (Interscope), she re-enters the dance-pop diva sweepstakes on top again, with a catchy song that immediately sounds unique, showing Fergie, Nelly and the rest how to make being your own quirky self look easy.
