Gwen Stefani is ‘in a good place’


Gwen Stefani is in a "really good place" with her songwriting.

The No Doubt singer – who split from husband Gavin Rossdale last month after 14 years together – is very impressed with her efforts since returning to the recording studio and admits she has never been so prolific.

She told TooFab: "I’m literally writing like I’ve never written, I think ever. Every time I go in the studio — which I don’t have a lot of time in my life — so when I’ve gone in, every single time I have written a song.

"I have close to 10songs, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s over a very short amount of time. It’s never happened.

"o I am in a really good place for writing and I think that has a lot to do with being on ‘The Voice’ last season and also just, I don’t know, just opening up and being on a journey to get to this point to be able to write again."

The 45-year-old singer admits it is the first time in her life that going into the studio isn’t a "chore" and she actually enjoys it.

She added: "I have never been in a place, where I’m like outside all my life, where all I want to do is get in the studio.

"It was always like a chore, like ‘Oh no I have to go to the studio, I am not going to be able to do it. What am I going to say?’

"Like it’s an opposite, it’s like I gotta get in the studio. When is there time, you know? Every time I go, I know I’m going to have a song and every time I have a song I get to play it really loud in my car and it’s really fun."
