Can you imagine if somebody else's is a sleeper hit? That would be amazing. Wish Interscope would do something about it because it truly is top tier Gwen, best song off the album

I was there and stg, Im so glad she played this intimate concert It was a great performance, and a great surprise she sand WYWF, Rich Girl, Cool and HBG at the end

I thought it was really good and different from everything she's released... it's the sound I expected from her. In fact, the theme is already very well-worn, so much so that the best song on the album (Somebody Else's) has a different theme... my top picks are: Top songs: Somebody Else's, Bouquet, Pretty Other highlights: Marigolds, Purple Irises, All Your Fault, Reminders

so hyped, damn

still slaps i think the song has a lot of potential but I get why there's barely any investment on pop radio + streaming, I'm happy with just new music but Id love a minor hit ngl

no link? :(

I found them on youtube but can someone dm a link? these are soooo good and I cannot believe that I finally get to listen to them after two decades of being a fan!!!

where can I find it?

The point of the interview is that it landed already, creatively speaking. It's the music that feels right for her right now, and it might have some country influence but it's still signature Gwen especially lyrically (and mainly yacht-rock).

she's referring to the most recent ones (slow clap and LMRM), she loves baby don't lie and has it on her setlist of every concert she's played in the last few years... BDL was on the way to becoming a decent hit (was doing well on radio) when she killed it to release Spark the Fire

In a new interview for Rolling Stone: "Purple Irises" also liberated Stefani from a creative rut, one where she found herself attempting to "compete a little bit with my past and going backwards" — alluding to one-off singles like "Slow Clap" and "Let Me Reintroduce Myself" — which, along with "life being so crazy busy and the pandemic," was responsible for the long wait between albums. "It felt like I was repeating myself a lot," Stefani said of the false starts. "It just never landed, and it didn't even inspire me, so at a certain point I just wrote a song called 'Purple Irises,' and it felt like, 'I'm on now.' I felt like I'm in the zone, this is it." (We're glad she recognizes that and moved on) She also confirms the album is not country at all: The new single isn't the only thing deceptive about Bouquet: Despite the cowboy hat on the cover, and the fact that the album was recorded in Nashville by an A-list producer (Scott Hendricks) with an all-star band of Music Row musicians, Stefani is insistent that she has not gone country. "It's not a country record," she says. Instead, Bouquet is packed with Seventies pop-rock radio gems, channeled through the prism of Nashville, but still authentically Gwen. "It's all the stuff I listened to in the station wagon on the way to church," Stefani says of the album. "Yacht rock, though it wasn't called yacht rock then. The music I listen to now, I wanted this album to reflect that." Full interview: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/gwen-stefani-new-song-somebody-elses-bouquet-interview-1235107260/

The reception has been so positive. I think the album will be great would love a tour even if not that big

"You're somebody elseeeeee's" this is so addictive and nostalgia-inducing

The structure of the song also feels so right, verse + pre chorus + chorus + verse 2 + pre chorus + chorus + post + bridge + chorus. In the past even in longer songs the producers ****** something up, but no complaints on this one for sure. Thank God for 4min songs and for Gwen Stefani I am a happy fan today

this is her best single since Used to Love You!!! The exact sound I've been expecting from her, not trying to recreate her old sounds but something more mature, rock-leaning, vocals BEYOND great. Super excited for the album
