No Doubt beauty Gwen Stefani has revealed that she's now taking a more relaxed approach to her new solo album. 

The star talked to Ryan Seacrest earlier today (January 16) and confessed that she's enjoying the process more now that she's not under so much pressure to get it finished:

"I’ve been working on it. I feel excited now because when I first started working on it, I was like, ‘I’m gonna put it out this year!’ I was very kind of rushed about it. Now I feel settled in, I had the baby — he’s going to be a year-old, can you believe that?! — I feel like now I’m going to go back in and do some more writing and be a little more relaxed about it."

Stefani, meanwhile, recently teamed up with Pharrell Williams to create the song 'Shine' for the new movie, 'Paddington'. She told Seacrest that Williams' input to the writing was amazing: "Pharrell really was the one who really got in there and was able to channel the film lyrically and make it really happen and make it really feel like it was totally made for the movie."
