Hello!

No Doubt is on the cover of the August 18th issue of Billboard magazine!  It’s not on newsstands just yet, but my pals at EIT have gotten a copy of it early!  They scanned and transcribed it here!  So exciting!  I love seeing new photos of the band!

El Mac has posted about the Push And Shove album artwork on his blog!  He posted some photos from the studio.  Check them out at his blog here.  I love what he wrote:

“It’s been a long time coming, but here’s the artwork I finished recently for the new No Doubt album cover….I’m proud to say that the lead singer, Gwen (& her husband Gavin) are fans of my work and have been collecting my paintings for the last couple years…and Gwen contacted me last year about painting the next No Doubt album cover. This would be the first album they’ve put out in over ten years, huge opportunity. I remember having a crush on Gwen back when I first heard of No Doubt back in the mid-90’s…so she could’ve asked for just about anything and I would’ve said yes. When I first met with her I kind of felt like some humble servant being summoned to the royal palace…but honestly, Gwen and the rest of the band are really, really cool. Down to earth humans. They’re the real deal. After a few meetings with Gwen and then the whole band, we worked out a look for the cover, did a photoshoot for reference images (styling by Danilo), and I got to work. I pretty much locked myself in my studio for about six weeks working on these four separate acrylic wood panel portraits. It’s a challenge to get these lines to work both up close as abstract shapes that work harmoniously, and from a distance so that they form an accurate realistic image. Hard work but I love it.This was a super exciting project, looking forward to seeing the album come out at the end of September..Many thanks to Gwen, Gavin, Tony, Adrian, Tom, Danilo, Kim & Katherine Cone Gallery”

No Doubt has posted all 5 “Settle Down” remixes to Soundcloud in a playlist!
