Are we excited about the new Gwen Stefani album, "Bouquet", coming out November 15th?
Yes.
Are we thrilled to hear the first song, "Somebody Else's" coming tomorrow (Friday)?
Yes.
Do we think Gwen looks absolutely gorgeous on the cover?
Yes.
Are we a little bit confused about the cover?
Yes.
I guess the cowboy hat trend is hot for women right now so I have no problem with that. I mean, I don't think it's gonna be a country album, even though she's married to country-guy (AND VERY LUCKY DOG) Blake Shelton. He was featured on her last album, "You Make It Feel Like Christmas" from seven years ago. We play the title cut from that release every Christmas on Magic 95. But I digress. It's not the hat that's causing confusion...unless it really is a country album. No, the confusion comes from the discrepancy between the album cover and it's title. Did you spot it? Yeah. The album is called "Bouquet" but in the pic, the Hollaback Girl appears to be holding a single, long-stemmed white rose. What's up with that? Where's the rest of the flowers? Is she the bouquet? Is she actually referencing wine and not flowers? Will we ever get the answers to these questions? Maybe. Will the new album be a big hit for her? Of that I have NO DOUBT.
