Pop music artist Gwen Stefani didn't make her return to music to sell more albums, go on tour and get her name back in the spotlight.
She said it was a spiritual experience that brought her back.
The No Doubt singer, who hasn't published an album in nearly 10 years, recently released a new album “This Is What the Truth Feels Like,” which features a number of songs that Stefani wrote, according to The Huffington Post.
The 46-year-old host of “The Voice” told The New York Times that her songwriting skills returned after she survived "six months of hell" during her breakup with Gavin Rossdale. The breakup was so bad, in fact, that she “prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed” to God for guidance and salvation.
She said God answered her prayers by inspiring her to return to the studio and write music again.
“I know that it's weird to talk about spirituality publicly, because it's such a personal thing, and I know that some people, it offends them,” Stefani told The New York Times. “But I can say my own journey, and what I believe and what I feel and what I've seen, the miracles I've seen — it's quite real for me. It was right there in the room. It was magic, and everybody felt the magic of this music being made. It was so pure."
And Gwen Stefani, who was raised Catholic, has relied upon her religion for many of her life choices. She said in the past that it was her Catholic upbringing that made her into the person she is today.
