Bouquet is the fifth studio album by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani. It was released on November 15, 2024, through Interscope Records. The album serves as her first release since You Make It Feel Like Christmas (2017) and was preceded by two singles: "Somebody Else's" and "Swallow My Tears". It also includes the duet "Purple Irises" with husband Blake Shelton, which was released in February 2024.
Background and development
Stefani first started work on the project in February 2020, writing a song called "Cry Happy", which was composed of various lyrics she had compiled onto her phone, and cited this event as her inspiration to continue writing new music for a fifth album.{{cite magazine |last1=Carley |first1=Brennan |title=Gwen Stefani on her new single, returning to her reggae and ska roots, and the legacy of Tragic Kingdom |url=https://ew.com/music/gwen-stefani-let-me-reintroduce-myself-interview/ |access-date=December 10, 2020 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |date=December 7, 2020 |archive-date=December 11, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201211210326/https://ew.com/music/gwen-stefani-let-me-reintroduce-myself-interview/ |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Cragg |first1=Michael |title=Allow Gwen Stefani to Reintroduce Herself |url=https://www.vogue.com/article/gwen-stefani-new-single |access-date=January 24, 2021 |work=Vogue |date=January 5, 2021 |archive-date=January 5, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210105194039/https://www.vogue.com/article/gwen-stefani-new-single |url-status=live }} The same year she collaborate with her husband Blake Shelton on country pop singles "Nobody but You" and "Happy Anywhere".{{Cite magazine |last=Freeman |first=Jon |date=July 24, 2024 |title=Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani Release New Collaboration 'Happy Anywhere': the celebrity couple follow country hit "Nobody But You" with upbeat song of contentment |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-happy-anywhere-1033598/ |access-date=November 18, 2024 |magazine=Rolling Stone}} During initial reports of a new album from Stefani, critics predicted it would serve as her return to pop music, following her lineup of country and holiday music releases in previous years.{{cite magazine |last1=Nolfi |first1=Joey |title=Gwen Stefani announces pop return on new single 'Let Me Reintroduce Myself' |url=https://ew.com/music/gwen-stefani-new-song-let-me-reintroduce-myself/ |access-date=December 4, 2020 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |date=December 4, 2020 |archive-date=December 7, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201207223333/https://ew.com/music/gwen-stefani-new-song-let-me-reintroduce-myself/ |url-status=live }} In a press release, Stefani commented that the album would return to her roots in reggae and ska music.{{cite news |last1=Martin |first1=Annie |title=Gwen Stefani returns with 'Let Me Reintroduce Myself' single |url=https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/Music/2020/12/07/Gwen-Stefani-returns-with-Let-Me-Reintroduce-Myself-single/4811607364245/ |access-date=December 8, 2020 |publisher=UPI |date=December 7, 2020 |archive-date=December 11, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201211210252/https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/Music/2020/12/07/Gwen-Stefani-returns-with-Let-Me-Reintroduce-Myself-single/4811607364245/ |url-status=live }} Stefani said she was inspired by world news events, such as the Me Too movement and COVID-19 pandemic, to create uplifting and positive music; she explained: "[Reggae] music was all about unity and anti-racism, and that was in the '70s. Then we (No Doubt) were doing it in the '90s. And now here we are, again, in the same old mess." She released the single "Let Me Reintroduce Myself", musically inspired by her days with No Doubt, in December 2020, and the hip hop-accented "Slow Clap" in March 2021, both of which were expected to appear on Stefani's fifth album.{{cite news |last1=Mier |first1=Tomás |title=Gwen Stefani 'Reintroduces' Herself with New Single as She Makes It Clear It's 'Not a Comeback' |url=https://people.com/music/gwen-stefani-drops-single-let-me-reintroduce-myself/ |access-date=December 7, 2020 |work=People |date=December 7, 2020 |archive-date=December 11, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201211210246/https://people.com/music/gwen-stefani-drops-single-let-me-reintroduce-myself/ |url-status=live }}{{cite magazine |last1=Kreps |first1=Daniel |title=Gwen Stefani Returns to Ska Roots on New Song 'Let Me Reintroduce Myself' |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/gwen-stefani-new-song-let-me-reintroduce-myself-1099421/ |access-date=December 7, 2020 |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=December 7, 2020 |archive-date=December 7, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201207223341/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/gwen-stefani-new-song-let-me-reintroduce-myself-1099421/ |url-status=live }}{{cite magazine |last1=Nolfi |first1=Joey |title=Gwen Stefani's new 'Slow Clap' song snaps back to sassy Rock Steady vibes |url=https://ew.com/music/gwen-stefani-slow-clap-new-song/ |access-date=March 11, 2021 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |date=March 11, 2021 |archive-date=March 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210311185107/https://ew.com/music/gwen-stefani-slow-clap-new-song/ |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Daly |first1=Rhian |title=Gwen Stefani returns with sun-kissed 'Slow Clap' |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/gwen-stefani-returns-sun-kissed-new-single-slow-clap-2899499 |access-date=March 13, 2021 |work=NME |date=March 12, 2021 |archive-date=March 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210312193259/https://www.nme.com/news/music/gwen-stefani-returns-sun-kissed-new-single-slow-clap-2899499 |url-status=live }}
Stefani began hinting at the album's namesake on September 6, 2024, posting a series of photographs featuring flowers, all prominently. The album was officially announced on September 18, along with its cover art and title, Bouquet, her first release since 2017's You Make It Feel Like Christmas.{{cite news|last1=Gregory|first1=Allie|title=Gwen Stefani Details New Album 'Bouquet'|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/gwen-stefani-details-new-album-bouquet|access-date=September 18, 2024|work=Exclaim!|date=September 18, 2024}} Stefani said the record has a "flower motif", evident in song titles like "Marigolds", "Empty Vase", and "Late to Bloom", and was inspired by "all the stuff [she] listened to in the station wagon on the way to church" as a child.{{cite news |last1=DeSantis |first1=Rachel |title=Gwen Stefani Announces Her Fifth Album Bouquet Will Be 'In Full Bloom' in November |url=https://people.com/gwen-stefani-announces-her-fifth-album-bouquet-8714810 |access-date=September 21, 2024 |work=People |date=September 18, 2024}}{{cite magazine |last1=Kreps |first1=Daniel |title=Gwen Stefani Talks New Song 'Somebody Else's,' Gardening, and the Journey to Her 'Bouquet' |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/gwen-stefani-new-song-somebody-elses-bouquet-interview-1235107260/ |access-date=September 20, 2024 |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=September 20, 2024}} Despite the album's cover art depicting Stefani wearing a cowboy hat, she insisted Bouquet was not a country album and rather a yacht rock project influenced by 1970s pop radio hits. She created the record following a period of "healing [and] transitioning" that stemmed from the divorce to her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, part of the subject matter to her 2016 album This Is What the Truth Feels Like.{{Cite web |last=LeDonne |first=Rob |date=November 15, 2024 |title=Gwen Stefani Is Ready for What's Next |url=https://www.vogue.com/article/gwen-stefani-bouquet-interview |access-date=November 18, 2024 |website=Vogue |language=en}}{{Cite news |last=Simpson |first=Dave |date=November 14, 2024 |title=Gwen Stefani: 'Don't Speak changed everything – it's the heartbeat of who I am' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/14/gwen-stefani-dont-speak-changed-everything-its-the-heartbeat-of-who-i-am |access-date=November 18, 2024 |work=The Guardian |issn=0261-3077}} According to Stefani, she was unable to record the project in a consistent schedule due to her parental duties, but rather in "concentrated bursts of creativity". In an interview with NME{{'}}s Nick Levine, she added: "I don't go to the studio every day and just self-indulge [...] It's like, hey, [the kids] are at school, I got three hours so let's see if I can get down there to write."{{cite news |last1=Levine |first1=Nick |title=Gwen Stefani tells us about her new yacht rock-influenced solo album 'Bouquet' and the future of No Doubt |url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/gwen-stefani-interview-bouquet-no-doubt-future-family-what-you-waiting-for-3807226 |access-date=October 30, 2024 |work=NME |date=October 29, 2024}}
Cover artwork
Given the album's cover art depicting Stefani in a cowboy hat, critics predicted Bouquet would serve as her first country album.{{cite news |last1=Kickham |first1=Dylan |title=Everything We Know About Gwen Stefani's New Album |url=https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/gwen-stefani-bouquet-release-date-tracklist-singles |access-date=September 21, 2024 |work=Nylon |date=September 18, 2024 }}{{cite news |last1=Keates |first1=Emma |title=Gwen Stefani insists she hasn't gone country, despite new country-adjacent single |url=https://www.avclub.com/gwen-stefani-bouquet-somebody-elses-single |access-date=September 21, 2024 |work=The A.V.

Music and lyrics
Stefani described Bouquet as being full of "seventies pop-rock radio gems" with Nashville influence. The album opens with "Somebody Else's", a heartland rock song combining elements of Stefani's pop and Shelton's country sounds. Its lyrics describe letting go of a former relationship ("I don't know what a woman like me was doing with a man like you").{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Abby |title=Gwen Stefani – 'Somebody Else's' |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2281107/gwen-stefani-somebody-elses/music/ |website=Stereogum |access-date=September 21, 2024 |date=September 20, 2024}} The album closes with "Purple Irises", a duet with Shelton, serving as the only collaboration. The love song was originally intended as a solo song, but was lyrically revised to include Shelton.{{cite magazine |last1=Aniftos |first1=Rania |title=Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton Team Up for 'Purple Irises' Duet: Stream It Now |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/country/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-purple-irises-stream-1235603542/ |access-date=October 30, 2024 |magazine=Billboard |date=February 9, 2024 |archive-date=August 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819190230/https://www.billboard.com/music/country/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-purple-irises-stream-1235603542/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last1=Rodrigo |first1=Darlene |title=Gwen Stefani Shares the Sweet Love Story Behind 'Purple Irises' |url=https://kost1035.iheart.com/featured/ellen-k/content/2024-02-16-gwen-stefani-shares-the-sweetest-love-story-behind-purple-irises/ |publisher=KOST |access-date=October 31, 2024 |date=February 16, 2024 |archive-date=August 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819190229/https://kost1035.iheart.com/featured/ellen-k/content/2024-02-16-gwen-stefani-shares-the-sweetest-love-story-behind-purple-irises/ |url-status=live }} The couple sings about finding love with each other after past heartbreaks.{{cite news |last1=Mier |first1=Tomás |title=Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton Pick 'Purple Irises' on Sweet New Single |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-purple-irises-1234964699/ |access-date=July 30, 2024 |work=Rolling Stone |date=February 9, 2024 |archive-date=July 31, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240731193231/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-purple-irises-1234964699/ |url-status=live }} Stefani's lyric "It's not 1999 / But this face is still mine" refers to what she believes was a highlight in her life, and how she has changed since then.{{cite news |last1=Feeney |first1=Nolan |title=Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton Unpack the Lyrics of 'Purple Irises' |url=https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-purple-irises-lyrics-explainer |access-date=July 30, 2024 |work=Nylon |date=April 9, 2024 |archive-date=August 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240819190226/https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/gwen-stefani-blake-shelton-purple-irises-lyrics-explainer |url-status=live }}

Bouquet received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 56, based on eight reviews.{{cite web|title=Bouquet by Gwen Stefani Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More|url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/bouquet/gwen-stefani|website=Metacritic|access-date=November 15, 2024}} Brendan Sharp of Clash described the album as a "country-inspired vibe", in which the singer "shows a real vulnerability in her soul-baring lyrics", founding that "there is a distinct sense of emotional depth at the heart of Bouquet, which feels as though it finds Gwen Stefani at the peak of her songwriting craft".{{Cite magazine |last=Sharp |first=Brendan |date=November 15, 2024 |title=Gwen Stefani – Bouquet: Reviews |url=https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/gwen-stefani-bouquet/ |access-date=November 15, 2024 |magazine=Clash |language=en-GB}}
In a less positive review, Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine found that the lyrics showed a "regressive Stefani's views" about women, because "it's difficult to reconcile the woman who made her breakthrough with No Doubt's neo-feminist anthem 'Just a Girl'" and found the songs arrangements "middle-of-the-road".{{Cite web |last=Cinquemani |first=Sal |date=November 15, 2024 |title=Gwen Stefani Bouquet Review: A Pop Icon's Edge Gets Sanded Over |url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/music/gwen-stefani-bouquet-album-review/ |access-date=November 15, 2024 |website=Slant Magazine}}
