Gwen Stefani: solo career was 'pretend me'

Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani has admitted the woman that used to roll up to red carpet events surrounded by an entourage of Harajuku Girls circa 2004 was a "pretend version" of herself.

In an interview with Spanish Vogue (via Digital Spy), the star said she relates more deeply to her work with pop-rock group No Doubt than she does with her two solo albums Love. Angel. Music. Baby. and The Sweet Escape.

"I did the solo thing, but I felt like I was trying to play a character in a way, this Alice in Wonderland pretend version of myself. But this, being in No Doubt, is really who I am," she told the magazine. "Time kind of stops when you're in a band. It's this suspended childhood, and it's really awesome, that part of it."

She added: "But then when you have a family of your own, it forces you to go into the adult world a little bit more."

No Doubt recently returned to recording after a decade-long hiatus. Their sixth studio album, Push and Shove, came out last September.
