The singer, who is currently in the studio recording the follow-up to 2001's 'Rock Steady', said that No Doubt have completed ten tracks for their comeback album which will hopefully be out this year.

"The main thing we were trying to do was write really catchy, good songs. There's a lot of upbeat songs. It's generally a pretty happy record., Stefani told KIIS-FM.
