In the picture, Stefani is seen laying on a motel bed in a brown plaid suit and a cowboy hat, staring at the camera while holding a single long-stemmed white rose. 

Fittingly, the album will be called ‘Bouquet’, and seems to suggest she will be heading towards a more country sound for the new tracks. 

Alongside the cover, Stefani also shared the release date AND the tracklist, confirming the release will contain Purple Irises, a track she’s previously-released with her husband, country singer Blake Shelton. 

Alongside the snaps she wrote: “my fifth studio album, ‘Bouquet’, will be in full bloom on November 15th”

Stefani has never been afraid to shake up her sound throughout her career, becoming a household name in the 90s with rock band No Doubt.

Shooting to the top of the charts with songs including Don’t Speak and Just A Girl, she later branched out on her own to embrace a more RnB inspired sound, before leaning more towards Japanese-inspired imagery and pop. 

Through her four solo albums, songs including Hollaback Girl, What You Waiting For, Let Me Blow Your Mind (feat. Eve) and Sweet Escape (feat. Akon) have all entered the UK Top 10. 

Her last album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas, was festive themed and released in 2017. 

She’s also appeared on seven seasons of The Voice US, and will be returning to the show for the 2024 season, which starts next week.
