Though Gwen Stefani and producer pal Pharrell Williams were both psyched to finish off a follow-up to Love, Angel, Music, Baby, apparently Stefani has had a change of heart and opted to take a well-deserved break. Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle, she said, "I haven't stopped in years. I'm burnt. I literally went from the Rock Steady tour with No Doubt into the studio, like the week we got off. Then it was studio torture making this record. Then we went on the greatest hits tour after that. Then I put my album out and here we are."Stefani left out her foray into acting in The Aviator and her fashion line, as well as this fall's tour behind L,A,M,B. Stefani and Williams recently completed some new solo songs, which she planned to combine with outtakes from L,A,M,B for a new record. But now she says "I had a fantasy about it but I'm not doing it. I have a really good record that I could put out. But I decided it's more important that I take a nap."
She is already looking ahead to a more relaxing 2006, which she also says will be depressing at the same time. "I'm going to get on a plane, fly to London, and that will be the start of my depression," Stefani told the Chronicle. "Because every time you get off tour you get depressed. You feel like you've given up everything. You plop back into your own life and it's like you don't know who you are, you don't know what you're supposed to be doing. Then you get used to it and you go, 'Oh, I can get used to all this TV watching.' And then you get anxious to start doing something new again."
MTV.com reports that Stefani will be releasing a DVD sometime in 2006.
