Untitled is the upcoming fifth studio album by American singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani. It is expected to be released in 2021 through Interscope Records. The album was preceded by the release of singles " Let Me Reintroduce Myself" and " Slow Clap".
The album was predicted to serve as Stefani's return to pop music, following her lineup of country and holiday music releases in previous years. [1] In a press release, Stefani commented that the album would return to her roots in reggae and ska music. [2] 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 were doing it in the '90s. And now here we are, again, in the same old mess." [3]
"Let Me Reintroduce Myself" is a " Latin-tinged" reggae, ska, and pop song inspired by her days with No Doubt. [4] [5] The lyrics describe her career's longevity and include a reference to her 2005 single " Hollaback Girl". [6] [7] Stefani's older brother, Eric Stefani, performed on keyboards and the organ on the track, alongside No Doubt member Gabrial McNair who plays the trombone. [8] "Slow Clap" was written after a vulnerable Stefani left a meeting with her record label. [9] Because of her cowgirl outfit in the cover art, some fans incorrectly believed the song was going to be of the country genre. [10] It features string instruments and a hip hop bass guitar, and has a bridge that recalls the title track to No Doubt's fifth studio album, Rock Steady (2001). [11]
"Cry Happy" is composed of various lyrics that Stefani had written and saved onto her phone. [3] It was the first song she wrote for the album, in February 2020, and she cited its recording process as her inspiration to continue writing new music for a fifth album. [3] [12]
The album's lead single, "Let Me Reintroduce Myself", was released digitally on December 7, 2020. [13] It served as her first pop release since " Misery", a single from her third studio album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like (2016). [1] The song was accompanied by an airplay release to contemporary hit radio stations in various countries. [14] [15] It reached the top 40 on Billboard's Digital Songs Sales charts in the US and Canada, in addition to the Canada Hot AC chart. [16] [17] [18] American videographer Philip Andelman directed the song's music video, which features Stefani interacting with younger versions of herself, mirroring her former performance styles. [19] Members of the Harajuku Girls, Stefani's former group of backup dancers, appear in the clip. [20]
" Slow Clap" was distributed digitally as the album's second single on March 11, 2021. [21] It premiered alongside Stefani's exclusive merchandise collection through Amazon. [22] A version of the song with American rapper Saweetie was released on April 9, of the same year. [23]
