GWEN STEFANI and TIM RICE-OXLEY

Stefani and Rice-Oxley co-wrote EARLY WINTER, a tracks on her new album THE SWEET ESCAPE, and she claims his quiet, demure appearance hides an amazing talent.

She says, "I call Tim the Clark Kent of songwriting, because he's quite, like, humble.

"He wears these glasses and you notice, when he takes them off, he's actually really good-looking. And he gets in there and writes these super-unbelievable, chilling, goosebump songs."
