Gwen Stefani Says Her New Album ‘Bouquet’ Is ‘Not a Country Record’ but Inspired by the ‘Music I Listen to Now’

Looks can be deceiving!

While Gwen Stefani may have been sporting a cowboy hat in the photo that accompanied her album announcement for Bouquet, she has revealed that she isn’t sticking to country music.

“It’s not a country record,” she told Rolling Stone in an interview released Friday, Sept. 20.

While the album was recorded in Nasvhille, the record is actually full of ’70s pop-rock songs with Stefani’s signature flair.

“It’s all the stuff I listened to in the station wagon on the way to church,” she said of the forthcoming record. “Yacht rock, though it wasn’t called yacht rock then. The music I listen to now, I wanted this album to reflect that.”

Stefani, 54, added that she wanted Bouquet to be “one big statement.”

“That’s why I feel Bouquet is a really perfect title,” she said. “Like each song was handpicked with meaning.”

On Wednesday, Sept. 18, Stefani announced that her fifth studio album, Bouquet, would be released on Nov. 15, The album is her first new solo LP in seven years.

“my fifth studio album, ‘Bouquet’, will be in full bloom on November 15th 💐,” The Voice coach wrote on social media.

On Friday, Sept. 20, Stefani released “Somebody Else’s,” her latest single from Bouquet.

Throughout the country-rock number, the “Spiderwebs” musician details why she needed to leave an ex behind and the relief that’s come now that he’s “somebody else’s problem.”

“I don’t know what a heart like mine was doin’ in a love like that,” Stefani opens the track. “I don’t know what a woman like me was doing with a man like you / But now I got a love so true.”

Later on the chorus, she sings: “Now that I’ve found the real thing / You don’t compare / And I don’t care that you’re somebody else’s / And it doesn’t even break my heart / You’re somebody else’s / And I pray for them whoever they are.”
