Others said the Stefani didn’t look like herself at all.
Stefani also shared the short video clip via the social media site X, and one response read, “Who is that?”
Stefani Gained Confidence Doing a Duet With Husband Blake Shelton
As NME noted on October 29, Stefani’s new album is her first in seven years. She revealed that her duet “Purple Irises” with her husband, fellow “The Voice” mentor Blake Shelton, became the inspiration for the new album.
“I was like, ‘Oh, I get it now. I can’t rely on anyone else – it has to be my honest truth and my musical direction,” she noted.
Stefani continued, “And once I got that confidence from that song, it all started to happen pretty fast.”
She told NME the album’s feel was inspired by the music she listened to as a child. Stefani mentioned artists such as the Eagles, Steely Dan, and Hall & Oates, and she described the style as “yacht music.”
“I want to write music that feels like [yacht rock] music because there’s more chords in it, there’s more melody, and I really feel like I ended up getting there with this album.”
