Stefani has sold 30 million albums since joining Orange County ska group No Doubt as a fresh-faced 17-year-old in 1986.
That band, heavily influenced by British acts Madness and The Specials, paid their dues on the LA club circuit before chalking up a global hit with Don't Speak in 1997.
Gwen plans to rejoin No Doubt in 2008, but the past three years have found her concentrating on an eclectic, unconventional side-project that has spawned two zany albums, the Eighties-influenced Love Angel Music Baby, from 2004, and last year's more modern The Sweet Escape.
But Stefani, who has worked with collaborators as diverse as Pharrell Williams, Andre 3000, Linda Perry and Keane, does not view either record as a solo album.
"That's what everyone calls them, but I'd be embarrassed to call myself a solo artist. Maybe one day I'll sit down at the piano and make a proper solo album.
"But the records I've made so far have been collaborations. I like letting other people into my world.
"I enjoy working with people who are intimidating to be around in the studio, people from different walks of music. Sometimes it is torture, but it has helped to keep everything fresh.
"It was all about making the greatest, most fun record."
And despite her upfront, confrontational style, Stefani insists that her "overall thing isn't sexy", an approach she puts down to her strict Catholic upbringing in comfortable Anaheim, California.
