Gwen Stefani - “True Babe” + 5th Album

[Maki]

"Ringside" is very good, could've easily been released with a finalized production.

And while we wait for the (supposed) 5th Gwen album, let me do some shameless promo and tell you that the No Doubt discography rate has finally continued with the eliminations. We just cracked the top 40.

Am I the only one getting daily, increasingly desperate adverts to buy tickets for her UK shows on Facebook? Got to imagine this is not selling well.

Why would it be selling well?

Isn't her 'tour' her supporting Pink? Does she have headline shows?

Yeah there’s at least two up north - Chester and Leeds and one near London? She’s only doing one Pink support date.

Edit : Warwick too

£75 a ticket before fees, for an artist who hasn't had a hit here in 16 years and hadn't built up that much of a body of work as a solo act in the first place. I don't know what anyone involved in this was thinking, quite honestly.

 

[Verandi]

If Early Winter was guaranteed I'd splurge 80£ like they were pennies teebs.

I thought that many shows was a bit ambitious, especially with no recent music or radio presence.

The Pink date had better happen - it's my only chance to see Ms Gwen strut her stuff.

And gold circle at double that. Plenty of dancing room for anyone who splashed out I'm imagining.

 

[lushLuck]

Honestly, a full tour as Pink's support act would be a really great move for her at this point.

Do we think she’ll release any music to coincide with the tour? Not that it would be a hit, but it could at least remind people she’s still active…

Doubt it. She’s way more focused on GXVE at the moment.

What is GXVE? A cosmetics line or something?

Yes, her cosmetics line that she should have started 15 years ago.

I'm getting daily notifications from Spotify telling me she has a show near me at the end of June... that I had at 10:01 the day they went onsale fskdk.

I'm scared it'll be cancelled. I've never seen her before and have golden circle (I wish I'd waited now because I guarantee they'll crash in price).

The tour is fucking stupid.

She could have done a really cute trio of theatre dates or festivals and got some great press out of it, but someone insisted on booking her in these old maiden type of venues that people have to plug into Google maps because they're on the outskirts of nowhere.

She should have done Hoopla, now imagine that.

It seems there is not much interest in solo Gwen anymore.

I wonder if this increases the chances of No Doubt ever reforming again?

 

[popjunkie]

But it’s hard for there to be interest when there’s no new music. I didn’t even realise she was touring since there’s no album.

Unless she and the boys have smoothed things over I think it's safe to say that ship has done and sailed for a while now.

I really do have to wonder what the deal is with new music these days though. Gwen going full red light-green light when it comes to recording isn't a particularly new thing, it'd just be nice to have an update or something. With the way she's scrapped (at least) two albums in the last almost-decade, even a rarities compilation like Everything In Time would be nice.
