Gwen Stefani's solo career, which saw her release two records and sell millions of albums, was 'never meant to be taken seriously.' The singer has reunited with her original band, No Doubt, for their new album, 'Push and Shove' and despite having sold millions of copies of her two solo records, her heart always lay with her original band. She said: 'It just feels so much more natural being back in this mode. The solo records allowed me to indulge my girly side but it was never meant to be taken seriously. It was just like an art project that kept going longer than I expected. The group never ended, we always knew we'd come back to make this album.' Gwen, 42, also said her rocker husband, Gavin Rossdale from Bush doesn't listen to her ska-pop group, which also includes Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont, as he doesn't like their style of music. She added to the Guardian newspaper: 'Oh, he's never been a fan of what we do. He's mor...

Gwen Stefani has said that her solo albums were "never meant to be taken seriously". The No Doubt frontwoman told The Guardian that 2004's Grammy-nominated LP Love Angel Music Baby and 2006 follow-up The Sweet Escape were nothing more than an "art project". PA Images / Francois Mori/AP "It just feels so much more natural being back in this mode," she said of reuniting with the band. "The solo records allowed me to indulge my girly side but it was never meant to be taken seriously. "It was just like an art project that kept going longer than I expected. The group never ended - we always knew we'd come back to make this album." The 42-year-old singer also revealed that No Doubt began work on their upcoming sixth album Push and Shove in 2008, but initially struggled with the writing process.

WENN.com Fans may come and fans may go, but if you're a happily married rock star you'd think you could always rely on someone to download all your albums, watch you on tour and buy your merchandise? Not so, according to Gwen Stefani! In an interview with The Guardian , No Doubt frontwoman Gwen revealed "Gavin's never been a fan of what we [No Doubt] do. He's more into dark, indie stuff." That's Gavin as in Rossdale, frontman of highly respected British rock band Bush. Still, no matter what Gavin thinks, Gwen has plenty of hardcore supporters who are excited about the new album, Push and Shove. Following No Doubt's hiatus, Gwen had a huge success with 2006's Love Angel Music Baby, revealing: "The solo records allowed me to indulge my girly, side, but it was never meant to be taken seriously." The album sold in its millions and was nominated for several Grammys. The new No Doubt album features collaborations with Diplo and samples from his...

No Doubt's Gwen Stefani via Twitter: "This is really happening! New album in 6 days!" 'Push and Shove' pushes and shoves on September 24 Gwen Stefani is not Axl Rose. This is obvious, but bear with us. No Doubt didn't spend 11 years coming up with their new album because they were hiding out in L.A., pursuing some vainglorious artistic ideal, auditioning every expensive guitar-shredder in Southern California, or whatever. As the Diplo-produced title track and Santigold-en "Settle Down" promised, and our knee-jerk reviews of the leak mostly confirm, Push and Shove sounds like it took so long because No Doubt actually wanted to make a sleek, cleverly crafted, potentially saleable contemporary pop album. Tortured genius is so pass. Nowhere are No Doubt's pop smarts more evident than on "Looking Hot" (via Just Jared ), a muscular dance-pop twist on the eat-it-paparazzos theme that's way wilder than we would've had any right to...

Gwen Stefani's husband thinks she's "amazing" even though he isn't a "fan" of her music. The platinum-haired singer recently reformed with punk pop band No Doubt after taking a break to pursue solo projects and have children. Gwen's husband Gavin Rossdale fronts rock band Bush, and the star has ruled out ever collaborating on a music project with him. "Oh, he's never been a fan of what we do. He's more into dark, indie stuff. But I'm not saying he doesn't think I'm amazing," she smiled in an interview with British newspaper The Guardian. "Oh God, that's going to be a headline, isn't it? 'Gavin thinks Gwen's amazing!'" Gwen released albums Love. Angel. Music. Baby. and The Sweet Escape while No Doubt were taking a break. The star feels more at home fronting No Doubt. "It just feels so much more natural being back in this mode. The solo records allowed me to indulge my girly side but it w...
