Gwen Stefani has released her new single “True Babe,” a beautiful new song created by Jack & Coke and L.A.-based rocker KThrash, which marks the singer’s first new work since 2021’s “Slow Clap,” which included Saweetie’s vocals. You can listen to the song below.
“True Babe,” which is available today on digital platforms via Interscope Records, debuts ahead of Stefani’s highly anticipated string of UK gigs. She performs tonight (June 23) at Warwick Castle and alongside Pink for two British Summer Time season events in London’s Hyde Park on Saturday, June 24 and Sunday, June 25.
Stefani recently told the Daily Mail, “It’s almost one of those places you want to impress so bad.” You really want people to like you, and you adore them. It’s amazing to know they know who you are.
“So it’s significant for me. It’s going to be crazy to be able to perform in Hyde Park and be at the event with another fantastic artist. I try not to think about it too much since I know it will make me uneasy, but I’m eager.”
Stefani recently played at the BeachLife Festival in Redondo Beach, CA, and has a hometown gig scheduled at Anaheim’s Honda Center to commemorate the venue’s 30th anniversary. It was recently confirmed that she would return as a coach on Season 24 of The Voice, along with Reba McEntire, John Legend, and Niall Horan.
Stefani, best known as the famed California band No Doubt’s frontwoman, has revolutionized alternative music and influenced generations of female artists. Love. Angel. Music. Baby., her solo debut album, attained quintuple platinum status, providing major songs like “Rich Girl,” “What You Waiting For?” and the Pharrell Williams-produced No. 1 hit “Hollaback Girl.” Her most recent solo album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2015.
