    Gwen Stefani Pays Tribute to 'Hollaback Girl' as She Reintroduces Herself With Comeback Song

    Instagram

    The ‘Sweet Escape’ singer is back to her ska and reggae roots as she releases ‘Let Me Reintroduce Myself’, her first music in four years since ‘This Is What The Truth Feels Like’.

    Dec 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gwen Stefani has released her first new music in four years.
    The singer has returned to her ska and reggae roots in homage to her time as the frontwoman of No Doubt and freshened things up a bit on her new single, “Let Me Reintroduce Myself”.
    In a nod to her 2004 hit “Hollaback Girl”, she sings, “And it tastes great, I already gave you bananas.”

    In a press release, Gwen said of the track, “This song is a way of saying I’m back with new music. It’s a fun, light-hearted song, because I got inspired and hopefully to bring a little bit of joy. The idea was to write a song that had a bit of a nostalgic feeling to it, so I think musically it reminds you of back in the day, going back to where I started musically which was with ska and reggae. I’m still the same me but here’s something a little bit new in case you feel like hearing a little bit more of me.”

    Gwen’s last full-length release was 2017’s festive LP, “You Make It Feel Like Christmas”.
    But the new song marks her first non-Christmassy record since 2016’s “This Is What The Truth Feels Like”.
    And although she never intended to make a comeback, the “Sweet Escape” singer – who is engaged to country star Blake Shelton – has penned around “20 songs.”
    “I fantasised about it but I was also like … I don’t know,” she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music. “I always think about artists that I loved growing up, and I think I just want to listen to the songs that I like that they did. And that’s nostalgic for me.”
    “I never expected to be writing, but it was in there. And it’s been really, really incredible. I mean, there’s just nothing else that I do in my life, and I have done so many things, that makes me feel ignited the way a new song makes me feel.”

    Gwen Stefani 'So Grateful' to Top Country Chart for First Time With Blake Shelton Duet

    Scoring her first No.1 on Country Airplay chart with ‘Nobody But You’, the No Doubt frontwoman thanks her crooner boyfriend for taking her along on the ride with him.
    Apr 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rocker Gwen Stefani is in disbelief after scoring her first number one on America’s Country Airplay chart with her “Nobody But You” duet with boyfriend Blake Shelton.
    The country music star invited Stefani to add her vocals to the track last year (19), and although they both fell in love with the tune, they had no idea how big of a hit it would be with fans, too, after climbing to the top of the Billboard countdown this week (begins April 27) – three months after its initial release.
    ” ‘Nobody But You’ wasn’t written as a duet, but it is a duet,” Shelton told Billboard.com as he reflected on the chart news. “I have to thank (songwriters) Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne and Tommy Lee James for trusting us with this incredible song that captures exactly how I feel about Gwen, and I can connect with every lyric.”
    “I still pinch myself every time I hear one of my songs on the radio, but I have to pinch and twist really hard to believe I’m singing it with Gwen Stefani. As always, thank you to the fans that listen and I cannot wait until we can all be together celebrating music again.”
    Shelton also took to Twitter to share a special message for Stefani, writing, “Congratulations @gwenstefani on your first country song going #1 at country radio!!! Not bad for your first try!!!!! Thank you all as well!!! #nobodybutyou.”
    And the No Doubt frontwoman is blown away by the couple’s achievement.
    “Trying to wrap my head around the fact that I even get to know Blake Shelton -let alone be on Such a beautiful classic duet w (with) him,” she remarked as she reposted Shelton’s tweet.

    Stefani continued, “thank you [email protected] for taking me along on this ride with you!! I am so grateful and blown away by all the support everyone has shown us!!!!! #WHATTHEHECK?!! we got a #1 single?!!! #bestfriend #nobodybutyou #nevernmywildestdreams (sic)!!!!!”

    Gwen Stefani Joins 'Best Friend' Blake Shelton for Surprise Duet at His L.A. Concert

    Instagram

    The ‘Hollaback Girl’ songstress delights audience at the Forum in Los Angeles when she makes an appearance during the ‘God’s Country’ singer’s concert to perform their collaboration ‘Nobody But You’.
    Mar 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gwen Stefani is returning the favor to her boyfriend Blake Shelton. Weeks after the “God’s Country” singer made a surprise appearance at one of her Las Vegas residency’s shows, the former No Doubt frontwoman delighted attendees of his Los Angeles concert with their sweet onstage duet of “Nobody But You”.
    On Saturday night, March 7, Shelton took the stage at the Forum as a part of his “Friends and Heroes Tour”, and crooned the song off his “Fully Loaded: God’s Country” album. Soon after he delivered his first verse, Stefani’s voice was heard as she popped out from behind the stage, prompting concertgoers to erupt in cheers over her appearance.
    For the special performance, the “Hollaback Girl” hitmaker rocked a blue fringed denim jacket with the word “Blake” written on its back. She completed her costume with a pair of short shorts and thigh-high sparkly boots. At the end of the performance, she shared a tight hug with Shelton who then peppered her with kisses.
    After the show, Stefani made use of Instagram to post a clip of their duet. She wrote alongside the video, “Got to hop on stage w my best friend @blakeshelton tonight #friendsandheroestour #nobodybutyou 2020 Gx.” She also let out a photo of her pointing at Shelton’s direction, and thanked him for “having me on your @theforum stage and giving me the opportunity to wear denim and diamond Fringe with a unicorn ponytail.”

    The 50-year-old songstress additionally shared a series of behind-the-scene photos. Both pictures capture her and Shelton as they were joined by her two sons with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, 13-year-old Kingston and 11-year-old Zuma, backstage.

    Shelton himself turned to his Instagram page to share a video of their duet. In an accompanying caption of the post, he teased his fans, “Friends, heroes, AND… @GwenStefani! Y’all never know what might happen on the #FriendsAndHeroesTour!”

    Stefani and Shelton performed their romantic duet of “Nobody But You” for the first time at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards back in January. Three weeks later, the “Hillbilly Bone” crooner delighted the “Wind It Up” singer’s fans when he made a surprise appearance at her “Just a Girl” residency at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas.
