Gwen Stefani teases "happy" No Doubt album

Gwen Stefani has teased some details about the No Doubt comeback album.

The 'Rich Girl' star revealed that ten tracks have been completed for the LP, with plans to record a few more.

"The main thing we were trying to do was write really catchy, good songs," she told KIIS-FM's On Air with Ryan Seacrest.

"There's a lot of upbeat songs. It's generally a pretty happy record."

Stefani described the inspiration for the album as "all the music [they] loved" from Depeche Mode to The Cure, as well as hints of reggae and ska.

The singer-songwriter also admitted that she "think[s] [the album is] going to be out this year".

Stefani recently insisted that she always aims to write songs that will have mass appeal, citing valuable advice she once received from Prince.
