Gwen Stefani is set to release her fourth solo album, Bouquet, on Friday (November 15). But the pop superstar is also looking back on the two decades since the release of her Grammy-nominated debut solo record, Love. Angel. Music. Baby., which dropped twenty years ago this week. Stefani rose to fame with her chart-topping ska-pop band, No Doubt, before going solo in 2004, which gave the singer an unlimited amount of musical freedom. “At that point, things were unhinged, meaning that I had zero restrictions: I wasn’t in the band. I didn’t have children. I wasn’t married,” Stefani said in a new interview with People. “I was like, ‘I’m making a guilty-pleasure dance record.’ I had such an unbelievably clear vision of what I wanted to do. I had been so put down that I was like, ‘I’m just going to show them what I got.’” (People)
