Gwen Stefani is coming back. The singer and leader of No Doubt has announced her new solo album, Bouquetout on November 15th. It's his first album in seven years.
For the first single, however, we won't have to wait too long: Somebody Else's will be available from September 20th. Below is the cover and a spoiler of the piece:
Although “Somebody Else's” seems to have a rock sound, the album cover is in full country style, including a brown suit and cowboy hat. Bouquet will contain 10 songs, many of which have flowers as their theme, such as Empty Vase, Marigolds And Purple Irisesa duet with husband Blake Shelton released in February. Gwen's last album was in 2017, when she released the Christmas album You Make It Feel Like Christmas. She recently returned to the American version of The Voice as a coach alongside Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire and Michael Bublé.
The news of the album comes just days after another piece of news, this time bad. The death of Gabriel “The Gun” Gonzalez, the band’s original trumpet player, who died in a motorcycle accident on September 12 in Hermosa Beach, California. He was 57. Gonzalez had co-written some of the band’s early songs when No Doubt was still under its original name, Apple Core. Most of those songs remained unreleased.
Some of his songs ended up on the band's second album, however, The Beacon Street Collection. He is credited with co-writing the album's third track, Total Hate 95in addition to having also signed Paulina from the band's self-titled debut album.
