Self-professed "garden flower nerd" Gwen Stefani will release her first solo album in seven years this November, and she just dropped the lead single "Somebody Else's" in full after posting snippets of the song to Instagram over the past week.

While a first look at Bouquet suggests that it could lean heavily towards country – and having Scott Hendricks producing certainly hints that too – "Somebody Else's" is definitely pop, with a touch of yacht rock. The No Doubt frontwoman has previously spoken about re-recording nine of the songs with a live band to achieve the '70s AM radio vibe she tested out with "Purple Irises" – a Valentine's Day release with husband Blake Shelton – earlier this year.

Speaking with Homeskoolin's Tom Bukovac back in March, Stefani said:

"I always knew I wanted to make more of a kind of singer/songwriter record. The kind of album I would listen to in the station wagon going to church, that my parents would play... I don't know if I got there with this but I just wanted to make a record that felt really pure and, like, didn't have a genre. That was kind of just me now, what I love now. I think evolution is, like, the hardest thing because you're completely chasing yourself from the past and trying to compete with yourself all the time, and the people you work with kind of want to do that too... so I was like, I have to kind of ignore the old me and get to the new me, and that's how we got there."
