No Doubt on new album: 'We had no game plan for this record'

'Settle Down' superstars No Doubt have revealed that having no "game plan" for their comeback album made it a difficult project to work on.

Speaking to MTV News, frontwoman Gwen Stefani explained that the band weren't sure of the musical direction they wanted for 'Push and Shove' so spent a lot of time re-writing songs and editing the final versions as they recorded:

"I feel like we had no game plan for this record; we didn't know what kind of record we were going to make. When we first started writing, we couldn't write, and then we finally got inspired and we started writing songs but they were coming slowly, like one at a time"

"And after we wrote, like, three songs, we got so excited that we went in and recorded them, just to see where we were at. And then we kept re-recording them, until we got to a place where we felt 'This is it.' It was a lot of re-writing and a lot of re-recording; the songs just kept evolving."

 

 

 

They recently confirmed 'Looking Hot' as the album's next single and you can check out a live performance of it below:
