    Global pop icon Gwen Stefani returns with her fifth studio album, ‘Bouquet’, a stunning showcase of her signature sound, reimagined with the maturity and optimism of a seasoned artist. Released via Interscope Records, the album features the previously unveiled singles “Somebody Else’s” and “Swallow My Tears,” each radiating Stefani’s ability to blend poignant introspection with infectious melodies.

    Recorded live at Nashville’s Smoakstack Studios with acclaimed producer Scott Hendricks, Bouquet captures an organic and vibrant energy. Stefani’s lyrics delve into the cyclical nature of life, symbolized by the “seeds of hope” she plants throughout the album. “Bouquet represents a blend of everything that I’ve ever been and who I’ve evolved into,” Stefani explains. “Each song was picked like individual flowers to create a bouquet of the past, the present, and the seed of hope for the future.”

    Stefani’s knack for crafting quotable, clever turns of phrase is on full display here, making Bouquet as lyrically sharp as it is musically rich. Tracks like the hauntingly raw “Swallow My Tears” (which she debuted on the Today Show) and the emotional title track set to be performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on November 18, highlight her evolution as an artist.

    With Bouquet, Stefani cements her legacy as both a pop powerhouse and a reflective storyteller. From her chart-topping days as No Doubt’s magnetic frontwoman to her multi-platinum solo career, the three-time GRAMMY® winner has always thrived in reinvention. And with over 100 million track units sold worldwide and a history-making Billboard 200 debut for her 2015 album This Is What the Truth Feels Like, her influence continues to flourish.

    Whether you’re a longtime fan or a new listener, Bouquet is a vibrant offering of Stefani’s artistry—an arrangement that feels timeless yet fresh, nostalgic yet forward-thinking.

    Listen to Bouquet below now and let Gwen Stefani take you on a journey through the seasons of her life.
