Today, global superstar Gwen Stefani makes a triumphant return with the new single True Babe. Her first single since 2021’s Slow Clap featuring Saweetie, True Babe is an irresistible pop anthem with an alt twist. Produced by Swedish duo Jack & Coke and LA-based rocker KThrash, True Babe highlights Stefani’s trademark lilting vocals and knack for unfiltered lyrical honesty.
Alongside the release of her new single Stefani has a series of major festival performances locked in for the U.K. and Europe. The enduring hitmaker took the stage at Prague Rocks Festival on June 21 in the Czech Republic, followed by three massive live dates in the U.K. — a headline date at Warwick Castle and two shows alongside fellow superstar Pink at BST Hyde Park. The arrival of True Babe comes after the announcement that Stefani will return for coaching duties on Season 24 of The Voice [US] alongside Reba McEntire, John Legend, and Niall Horan.
As frontwoman for California iconic band No Doubt, Stefani has revamped alternative rock and inspired generations of female acts. No Doubt’s five genre-blending albums have showcased her adept songwriting and poignant lyrics with #1 hits such as Don’t Speak, Just a Girl and Hey Baby, along with many others. Her solo debut album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. surpassed quintuple-platinum status delivering the hit singles Rich Girl, What You Waiting For? and the Pharrell Williams produced No. 1 hit Hollaback Girl. Stefani’s sophomore album, The Sweet Escape, featured the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 single Wind It Up and the unforgettable anthem The Sweet Escape.
True Babe and Slow Clap demonstrate Stefani’s effortless versatility and wonderfully counterpoints the ska of 2021’s Let Me Reintroduce Myself, which reached No. 1 on iTunes. In 2020, Stefani had two No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart with Blake Shelton, Nobody But You and Happy Anywhere, and reissued her holiday album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas, with two new songs including Here This Christmas.
