Тексты песен Gwen Stefani
Информация о артисте
Гвен Рене́ Стефа́ни (англ. Gwen Renée Stefani; род. 3 октября 1969, Фуллертон, Калифорния, США) — американская певица, автор песен, актриса, продюсер и дизайнер. Солистка музыкальной группы No Doubt (с 1986 года), лауреат 46 музыкальных наград.
Гвен Рене Стефани родилась 3 октября 1969 года в Фуллертоне — городе на севере округа Ориндж, в семье среднего достатка. Её отец Деннис Джеймс Стефани, американец итальянского происхождения, занимался маркетинговыми исследованиями в компании Yamaha, а мать Пэтти Флинн, имеющая ирландские и шотландские корни, была бухгалтером, но потом оставила работу, посвятив себя детям. Гвен — вторая из четырёх детей. У неё есть младшая сестра Джилл и два брата: Эрик и Тодд. Своё имя певица получила в честь Гвен Мейген, героини романа Артура Хейли «Аэропорт» (1968). Её среднее имя Рене было навеяно песней «Walk Away Renée» группы The Left Banke (1966).
Петь Гвен начала ещё в раннем возрасте. Она часто исполняла песни под аккомпанемент пианино, на котором играл её старший брат Эрик. Тогда же проявился её талант модельера: от матери Гвен научилась вышивке и часто перекраивала купленные вещи, придавая им неповторимый стиль.
Образование Гвен Стефани получила в Калифорнии, в родном Фуллертоне и в соседнем Анахайме. Она окончила Высшую школу Лоара в 1987 году. В школе будущая звезда была одним из членов команды по плаванию, играла на флейте в школьном оркестре. Здесь она впервые выступила на сцене — на конкурсе талантов Гвен исполнила песню «On My Radio». Ещё во время школьного обучения она увлекалась рисованием и впоследствии поступила в Колледж Фуллертона на художественные курсы. Учёбу будущая звезда совмещала с работой сперва в ресторане быстрого питания Dairy Queen, затем в отделе парфюмерии и косметики Бродвейского универсального магазина в Лос-Анджелесе. По окончании колледжа Гвен поступила в Университет штата Калифорния.
14 сентября 2002 года Гвен Стефани вышла замуж за музыканта Гэвина Россдэйла (род. 1965), с которым она встречалась 6 лет до их свадьбы. У супругов три сына: Кингстон Джеймс Мак Грегор (род. 26 мая 2006), Зума Неста Рок (род. 20 августа 2008) и Аполло Боуи Флинн Россдэйл (род. 28 февраля 2014). 3 августа 2015 года, после 13 лет брака, Стефани подала на развод.
Всего у Гвен три сольных альбома: «Love. Angel. Music. Baby.», «The Sweet Escape» и новая пластинка «This Is What the Truth Feels Like». Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Gwen Renée Stefani (born October 3, 1969 in Anaheim, California, United States) is a singer-songwriter and fashion designer. Since 1986 she has fronted the rock band No Doubt, whose 1995 release Tragic Kingdom spawned the singles Just a Girl, Spiderwebs, and Don't Speak and propelled them into stardom with sales of 16 million copies worldwide.
In 2004, Stefani released her first solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. The album featured several collaborations with producers and other artists, including No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal, Linda Perry, André 3000, Nellee Hooper, and The Neptunes. It was primarily inspired by pop and new wave music of the 1980s, and emerged an international success with sales of over seven million copies. The third single Hollaback Girl became the first U.S. digital download to sell one million copies.
The debut album also drew attention to the Harajuku Girls, Stefani's entourage of four Japanese backup dancers named for the fashionable suburb in Tokyo. Originally hired in 2004 for the album, the Girls continued to appear alongside Stefani, and are featured in these music videos: "What You Waiting For?", "Rich Girl", "Hollaback Girl", "Luxurious", "Crash", "Wind It Up", "The Sweet Escape", and "Now That You Got It".
Stefani's second solo album The Sweet Escape was released December 5, 2006. Collaborating again with her on the project were Perry, The Neptunes, along with Akon and Tim Rice-Oxley of Keane, and producers Pharrell and Kanal. Despite mixed reviews of the album as a whole, the title track The Sweet Escape became an international success and earned Stefani a Grammy nomination, and remains the most successful song of her solo career.
Although it had been speculated that the album would contain only material originally written for L.A.M.B. that did not make the final cut, only two songs left over from L.A.M.B. were included in the record: 80's-influenced U Started It; and Wonderful Life, which features Depeche Mode's Martin L. Gore on guitar.
Stefani is equally known as a fashion trendsetter. In 2003, she created a clothing fashion line named L.A.M.B. which shares the initials of her debut solo album. This collection was later expanded with the introduction of a newer line in 2005 called Harajuku Lovers, which draws its inspiration from Japanese culture and fashion.
On May 26, 2006, Stefani gave birth to her first child, a baby boy named Kingston James McGregor Rossdale. The father is British grunge musician Gavin Rossdale, former frontman of the now-defunct bands Bush and Institute, who she married in 2002.
In January 2008, Stefani's father-in-law confirmed that she would be expecting her second child in the summer. On August 21, 2008, second son Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale was born.
Gwen Stefani said in 2011 that she was no more planning to release another solo album.
On April 12, 2014, Stefani made a surprise appearance at the Coachella festival, where she joined Pharrell Williams onstage during his set to perform "Hollaback Girl". She and Williams were coaches for season 7 of The Voice. After nine years since the last time, she attended the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, and during an interview on the red carpet she said, "I didn't know I was gonna have a baby, I didn't know I was gonna be on The Voice, I didn't know I was gonna be writing new music, so I'm just like, what's gonna be next?".
On September 8, 2014, Stefani told MTV News during New York Fashion Week that she is working on both a No Doubt album and a solo album. She also revealed that she is working with Williams. Stefani released her comeback single "Baby Don't Lie" on October 20, 2014, co-written with producers Ryan Tedder, Benny Blanco, and Noel Zancanella. Billboard magazine revealed that her third studio album is set to be released in December and Benny Blanco is set to executive produce it. In late October, a sneak peek of a new track from Stefani's third album, named "Spark the Fire", was premiered. The song was produced by Pharrell Williams.
On October 17, 2015, Stefani performed a one-night concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, where she performed a new song, reportedly about her breakup with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, titled "Used to Love You". It was released as a digital download on October 20, 2015. The video was released later that same day. The song was released to Mainstream radio in the U.S. on October 27, 2015. The track is the first official single off her upcoming third solo album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, which she has been working on since June. Neither "Baby Don't Lie" or "Spark the Fire" will be included on the album. Stefani said much of the previous material felt forced and inauthentic, while the songs written since she returned to the studio are more natural and better describe where she is in her life. The album's second single, "Make Me Like You", was released on February 12, 2016. Read more on Last.fm.
