Gwen Stefani's voice burns white-hot at the center of any project she's involved in, whether belting out the lighter-worthy chorus of No Doubt's neo-power ballad "Don't Speak" or leading girl-power cheers on her peppy solo cut "Hollaback Girl.

The Fullerton (California) born Stefani described new album Bouquet as being full of " seventies pop-rock radio gems" with Nashville influence. The Blake Shelton influence is very apparent it would appear. A belter of a second single from the album, Swallow my Tears was released on 25 October.
