Gwen Stefani Finally Unveils Date For Release of Highly-Awaited Album, 'This Is What the Truth Feels Like'

"Make Me Like You" singer's third solo album is coming out March 18th!

Gwen Stefani is putting out her long-awaited third solo album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, on March 18th and her fans are very excited about it! The album will be her first since she was a coach on The Voice and divorced her husband of 13 years, Gavin Rossdale.

Stefani's personal journey influenced the creation of the record.

According to a recent interview with People magazine, Stefani wrote the emotional ballad "Used to Love You" as a way to work through her divorce. Stefani goes on to say in the interview that she feels "really proud" of the album and considers it "probably the most personal thing I've ever done." This Is What the Truth Feels Like was very cathartic for Stefani and fans will have the chance to discover her emotional journey when the album drops.

The new album includes the hit single "Make Me Like You."

The album's first single, "Make Me Like You," was released in February of 2016 and reached number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the music video for "Make Me Like You," Stefani wears several different getups and dances in front of colorful backgrounds with her backup dancers.

Stefani's sophomore album flopped, but her debut was beloved.

Stefani's first solo effort, Love. Angel. Music. Baby, was released in 2004 and achieved commercial success, going platinum five times in the United States. Four of the album's singles reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Hollaback Girl" reaching number one. Her second effort, The Sweet Escape, flopped in comparison, going platinum only once in the United States. Only the lead single, "Wind It Up," reached the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number six.

Stefani has been promoting the new record on social media.
