Gwen Stefani has first new album in 10 years and a live music video coming soon

By

Gwen Stefani fans must be going bananas (B-A-N-A-N-A-S), because the singer is getting ready to drop her first solo album in 10 years. Stefani recently revealed that her new album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, is due out on March 18. To top it off, she’ll film a live music video during a Grammys commercial break for one of the tracks, Make Me Like You.

The album will feature Used to Love You, the first of the new songs to be released, as well as Make Me Like You and Misery. Based on the track list, it looks like listeners should get ready for heartbreak. There are numerous tracks that seem poised to tug on our heartstrings, including the aforementioned, Red Flag, and Me Without You. Stefani is coming off her divorce from ex-husband and Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, and we expect the emotional roller coaster to have influenced her work.

Stefani gave fans a preview of what’s to come when she tweeted out the track list for This Is What the Truth Feels Like. There are 12 songs, with an additional four on the deluxe Target exclusive edition.

The singer and Voice judge also revealed via Twitter that she’ll be in the first live music video during a Grammy’s commercial break with her song Make Me Like You.

Filming a music video during an awards show’s commercial break is an ambitious and exciting undertaking, especially considering that it’s never been done before. It will be “the first music video created on live television,” according to Rolling Stone, and it doesn’t sound like any corners will be cut; Stefani will have costume changes and even use multiple sets — all in a four-minute span.

Make Me Like You will be released on February 12, and the music video will be filmed on February 15. This Is What the Truth Feels Like drops on March 18.

If you're a die-hard music fan, you probably keep a curated library of playlists packed with your favorite artists and albums on Spotify, Apple Music, or whatever your favorite music streaming app is. But how do you discover the best indie artists today?

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.

Casual listeners might boot up Spotify or turn on the radio to listen to music without giving the balance or sound stage much thought. Audiophiles on the other hand like to dig a bit deeper and customize their experience. One common way to tinker with how music sounds is adjustments to the equalizer, which offers the freedom to tweak every aspect of the sound booming out of headphones or speakers. Even some streaming services now have built-in EQs, giving you more ways than ever to play with your music and find something that best fits your ears.

Shaping the equalizer to your preferences can be daunting to newcomers, as there are tons of cryptic settings you can manipulate. And if you mess with the wrong one, your sound quality might take a nasty hit. Thankfully, learning the basics isn't too difficult.
