Gwen Stefani returns to the studio with No Doubt

After taking a short break, Gwen Stefani is back in the studio with No Doubt recording their upcoming record.

According to Just Jared, Stefani arrived at the LAX airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Jan 24) in order to rejoin her bandmates. This will be the band's first studio album in over 10 years.

In 2009, No Doubt, consisting of Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young, and Tom Dumont, decided to embark on a US national tour rather than put out an album first. The band wanted to get back on the road and become inspired once again by their fans.

From their personal Twitter , the band has been constantly tweeting updates on the new album as well as posting pictures of their time in the studio.

"Gwen back in the studio with us. Nothing like having the four of us in the same room making music. Let's do this!" Kanal tweeted, reported by Thecelebritynews.biz.

Dumont then followed with a tweet of his own, "Sometimes making music is easy and fun and everything just works. Gotta celebrate the good days!"

No Doubt formed in 1986 and have since won 2 Grammys and sold 35 million records worldwide.

The band recorded their last studio album Rock Steady in 2001. Afterwards, they released a compilation album of the band’s singles, including a cover of the song “It’s My Life,” originally recorded by Talk Talk. This performance earned them a Grammy nomination. Another compilation album of B-sides, remixes and rare songs entitled Everything in Time was released in 2003.

No Doubt went on hiatus from 2004-2008 and Stefani embarked on a solo career and also gave birth to her two sons, Kingston and Zuma.

Fans have long anticipated a new album from the band. A release date however, has yet to be set.
