Gwen Stefani’s new album is due out “soon,” the star has teased.
The singer hit The Today Show stage to perform her latest release, Let Me Reintroduce Myself, on Thursday, January 14th, and she revealed her long-awaited fifth solo album is on its way.
When asked about the release date, she insisted: “I don’t know, probably soon.
“I have all the songs. I wrote a song yesterday. I’m still writing. I’m going to write a song tomorrow and I’m just going to edit, you know, and get the best of the best.
“As soon as they say I can put it out. Soon,” she concluded.
In addition to the tune, the Rich Girl singer also dropped an accompanying music video, which sees her dig deep into her closet to revive some of her most iconic looks.
“It was surreal,” she explained. “It made me really think about that I had nobody helping me.
“Those were outfits that I just made up, you know what I mean, or showed up at my house for free.
“It’s funny because now they are actually people’s Halloween costumes. And they were not Halloween costumes at the time, that was me actually being me.”
Speaking about her latest record, the Hollaback Girl hitmaker recently told Zane Lowe on Apple Music the collection is all about her collaborations with her co-writers.
“This record so far has been a real collaboration, and all the stuff I’ve ever done that’s been good I think has been me being able to collaborate and inspire whoever I’m working with, whether it be designing a handbag or writing a song, everything it seems like,” she shared.
“I have hooked up with all new writers this time around,” added Gwen, revealing Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter, Busby, Greg Kurstin and Mozella have all contributed to the record – along with her brother, Eric Stefani.
“I ended up calling my brother who I wrote Don’t Speak with, who was in No Doubt for nine years. Eric Stefani is his name,” recalls the hitmaker. “And he actually is playing on this record.
“So we all went to his house and get our masks on – There was just this incredible crazy moment to have him play on the record as well… It’s when it’s something’s meant to be and you just, like I said, open your heart and follow it. I feel like it was just meant to happen.”
Eric played keyboards, piano and guitar in No Doubt from 1986–1995 and appeared on the group’s first three albums: No Doubt, The Beacon Street Collection and Tragic Kingdom.
