Gwen Stefani Announces Fifth Studio Album ‘Bouquet’

Gwen Stefani is ready to bloom! The superstar revealed on Wednesday (Sept. 18) that her fifth studio album, Bouquet, will be arriving on November 15.

She also unveiled the album’s cover art and track list. The photo features Stefani in a cowboy hat and a brown plaid suit, laying across a bed while holding a white flower. The 10-song track list features a single collaboration, her previously released love song, “Purple Irises,” with her husband Blake Shelton. Additionally, the album’s lead single, “Somebody Else’s,” is set to arrive on Friday (Sept. 20).

Bouquet marks Stefani’s first album since 2016’s This Is What the Truth Feels Like and her 2017 holiday album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas. This Is What the Truth Feels Like marked Stefani’s first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

It’s been an exciting year for Stefani, who reunited with her No Doubt bandmates bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young for a Coachella performance in April after going on a permanent hiatus in 2013.

She also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last October. Shelton gave a sweet speech during the ceremony, telling the crowd, “Today, it’s nice to see her honored for her side project, which is being one of the biggest stars in the world. In my opinion, Gwen is the perfect person to receive a star on the Walk of Fame. From music, television and movies to fashion and beauty, she has risen to the top over and over again, with her unique style that has made the world fall in love with her. Not as much as me, though.”
