Bouquet (Gwen Stefani album)
2024 studio album by Gwen Stefani
Bouquet is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Gwen Stefani. It was released on November 15, 2024, by Interscope Records, and was her first album in almost seven years, the last being 2017's You Make It Feel Like Christmas. Work started on the record in February 2020, when Stefani wrote a song called "Cry Happy", that inspired her to make a new album. Departing from the dance-pop of her previous albums, Bouquet is more reminiscent of 1970s pop rock and the country music her husband, Blake Shelton, is known for.
Stefani began hinting at the album's namesake on September 6, 2024, posting a series of photographs featuring flowers. It was officially announced on September 18, along with its cover art and title, Bouquet, a concept album about flowers. Most of the album was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, with Scott Hendricks serving as the producer. Two singles preceded the album: "Somebody Else's" on September 20, 2024, and "Swallow My Tears" on October 25, 2024. It also includes the duet "Purple Irises" with husband Blake Shelton, which was released in February 2024.
The album received generally mixed reviews from critics, most praising Stefani's vocal performance as good as ever, but criticizing the songwriting, country-inspired sound and concept album elements.
