Gwen Stefani has some exciting, highly-anticipated news for fans, and it's a treat for Blake Shelton too.
On Wednesday, September 18, the No Doubt star confirmed her official return to music, and almost ten years into her relationship with Blake, it appears she finally may be going country.
Though she released Christmas albums in 2020 and 2017, it has been since 2016's This Is What The Truth Feels Like that she releases a new album, until now.
After several days of teasing, Gwen took to Instagram this week and announced that her brand new album, her fifth studio album Bouquet, will officially be released on November 15.
Sharing a glimpse of the album's visuals and tracklists, she left fans wondering if she was finally starting to make country music, as the album's cover photo sees her in a brown plaid suit, and her signature blonde locks are topped with a beige cowboy hat — a sweet nod to her country music star husband perhaps?
The album includes her duet with Blake "Purple Irises" which they released earlier this year, and others new songs such as "Late to Bloom," "Swallow My Tears," "All Your Fault," and "Empty Vase."
"My fifth studio album, Bouquet, will be in full bloom on November 15th," Gwen shared in her caption.

I CAN'T WAIT TO LISTEN," and: "GWENNNNNNN I'M SO EXCITED," as well as: "I'm so excited! I can't wait!"

Her last, non-Christmas new album, This Is What The Truth Feels Like, came out the year she finalized her divorce from ex Gavin Rossdale, with whom she shares sons Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, ten.
