It’s been three years since No Doubt “reunited” and announced their plans to get back in the studio and finally make the follow-up album to 2001’s Rock Steady (arguably their most ambitious record). A lot has happened to the group in those three years, including kids and marriages, which helps explain the slow progress. So here’s what we do know…
The most recent detail we have on the sixth album is that the group has teamed up with Major Lazer, the producing, recording, DJing machine made up of dubstep badasses Diplo and Switch, who have worked with the likes of M.I.A. and Beyonce. No Doubt posted a pic on Twitter of them hanging out with the super producers in the studio as they progress on the new track “Push and Shove.”
In a June 2011 interview with Rolling Stone, ND said the effort was only about two months away from completion. So what’s taken over three years? For starters, Gwen Stefani was pregnant when the group reunited and had a hard time writing music while awaiting her second taste of motherhood. So the group packed up their things and hit the road for a wildly successful tour that grossed over $34 million after venturing on 57 dates. Not bad, eh?

For the past five years, the music industry has been sorely missing something. That something is No Doubt.
