Gwen Stefani releases new single 'Slow Clap' and talks upcoming 30th anniversary of No Doubt's debut
After ushering in a new era in December with "Let Me Reintroduce Myself," Gwen Stefani is offering fans a "Slow Clap."
That's the title of Stefani's new single, which she co-wrote with the same team as "Reintroduce."
"Slow Clap" finds Stefani looking back on her professional and personal track record, singing, "Been the champion, rang the bell/ Rocked the bottom, been through hell/ Climbed the mountain, now I'm well/ I just feel like comin' back for the belt."
Stefani also sings, "I put in my time/ From the garage to the penthouse, girls/ Underdog to the top of the world."
As for a new album, the future Mrs. Blake Shelton recently told Apple Music's Zane Lowe, "I do have an idea what the title is and I did actually shoot the artwork for it, and so I guess I can't change it now, but I don't know. I'm not really going to really reveal it."
She did say, though, that the album's title is based on a song she wrote that she felt "defines this phase of my life" and "what I'm trying to do."
Lowe also mentioned the fact that 2022 will mark the 30th anniversary of the debut album from Stefani's band No Doubt.
When asked if she's thinking of marking the milestone somehow, the singer admitted, "It is a really big deal. And I do, I'm reflecting so much on all the music. When you're writing new music, [you] reflect on everything that you've done."
Regarding her time with No Doubt, which is currently on hiatus, Stefani noted, "[It's] surreal to think that that happened so long ago. I have no idea what the future holds with that. You know what I mean? It's impossible."
