So how does she do it all?

“I think lately, my new secret is just trying to delegate,” Gwen told Access Hollywood Correspondent Tim Vincent.

“I just make priorities of what’s important at the moment,” she continued. “Right now, the No Doubt record is everything for me.”

Gwen said she and her bandmates have a system for getting their album done.

“We do this thing where we work on it really hard, and then we take breaks, because everybody has so much going on,” she said. “That’s why it’s taking so long.

“Everybody asks, ‘Why is it taking so long?’ Because I have kids,” Gwen continued, with a laugh. “I’m a mom! I have school, I have homework. It’s a lot.”

Gwen’s Harajuku Mini line for Target is out now.

The group released its last studio album, Rock Steady, in 2001, and despite spending much of 2010 working on new tracks, the blonde beauty admits they aren’t nearing a finished project because of their other commitments.

Stefani is busy with her fashion line L.A.M.B. and guitarist Tom Dumont and bassist Tony Kanal have both recently fathered a child.

She tells the Wall Street Journal, “We’ve been doing a record all year; 10 songs have been recorded. When this (new fashion line) is done I’ll probably write a few more songs. I don’t know when it’ll come out, but you never know what can happen.”

“My band takes a weird process as well. It takes so long. And all of them just had babies, so it’ll be a while.”

Gwen Stefani and members of No Doubt are scheduled to meet with students from the orchestra’s Composer Fellowship Program who are creating a multiple-movement piece inspired by songs by the Grammy-winning rock band. The No Doubt songs that are up for classical reinvention are “Suspension Without Suspense,” “Rock Steady” and “Simple Kind of Life.”

The orchestra said that all members of No Doubt — Stefani, Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal and Adrian Young – will attend a Youth Orchestra L.A. rehearsal to meet each of the composer fellows. No Doubt also will participate in a Q&A session with YOLA musicians and composer fellows. The date of the rehearsal will be announced later.

The completed piece will then be performed by the YOLA EXPO Center Youth Orchestra in a free evening concert at Santee High School on Feb. 26. No Doubt is not scheduled to perform at the concert.

The four composer fellows who will work with No Doubt are Daniel Allas, Tamzin Elliott, Phillip Golub and Aaron Ishibashi. The orchestra said this is the first time that the fellows had taken the music of a rock group as the inspiration for their compositions.

Tony Kanal of No Doubt said in a statement that the band members were “looking forward to hearing the new compositions from the composer fellows and can’t wait to meet them and the YOLA musicians.”

Founded in the mid-1980s, No Doubt has produced such hit albums as “Tragic Kingdom,” “Return of Saturn” and “Underneath It All.”

The EXPO Center Youth Orchestra is a project supported by the L.A. Philharmonic, the Harmony Project and other local organizations that brings music education to disadvantaged students in South L.A. The YOLA program is modeled on the El Sistema program in Venezuela, which gives instruments and music lessons to youth from troubled neighborhoods.

“With the band recording a new record for next year we felt it was a good idea to remind everyone of the great music No Doubt has made over the years. We feel the ICON release of No Doubt’s greatest hits is an extremely low-cost way to turn a lot of new people on to the band’s great music,” said the group’s manager, Jim Guerinot.

Formed in Anaheim, CA, No Doubt reached international success with their 1995 release Tragic Kingdom. That album, including the megahit “Don’t Speak” among many others, has sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Their follow-up, Return of Saturn, was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards. The following year, No Doubt won two Grammy Awards for the multi-platinum Rock Steady and performed at the Superbowl XXXVII Halftime Show in 2003 alongside Sting.

After the double-platinum success of No Doubt’s Singles Collection, featuring the hit “It’s My Life,” lead singer Gwen Stefani released two successful solo albums in 2004 and 2006, respectively. In 2009, after a nearly five-year hiatus, No Doubt completed a 50-plus city North American tour performing for more than 750,000 fans that summer.

The band, whose last studio album Rock Steady was released nine years ago, have finished ten tracks for their forthcoming LP, due next year.

In a serious of Twitter posts from the group, guitarist Tom Dumont wrote: “We’re rocking on song 10 tonight. It is sounding quite fine. [Tony] and [Gwen] you are killing it!

“Back on song #10 tonight. I love that moment when writing when we look at each other and say: ‘wow this one is sounding freaking great’.”

“More good songs coming your way :) song number 10 just needs a bridge and lyrics!!” frontwoman Gwen Stefani added.

Finally, Tony Kanal wrote: “New song sounding gooooooooood!”

The band reformed in 2009 for a reunion tour after a five-year hiatus which saw Stefani release two solo albums.

What an economical decision on No Doubt’s part. It keeps them in the forefront of fan’s minds.

The Gwen Stefani-fronted No Doubt confirmed they have written nine new songs for their comeback studio album, due in 2011.

To a throbbing soundtrack which included M.I.A., Sean Paul and a heavy ska and rocksteady influence, Stefani sent a series of largely black-and-white, flounced and draped dresses down the runway, accessorized with fedoras and oversized white handbags. The collection also featured parachute-style pants and shorts paired with midriff tops, with splashes of vivid reggae-dancehall-style prints.

Stefani’s husband and Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale, their son Kingston, No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal, Interscope founder Jimmy Iovine, Blondie’s Debbie Harry, R&B singer Omarion and Spice Girl Mel B watched from the front row of L.A.M.B., which is an acronym of the title of Stefani’s 2004 debut solo album, “Love.Angel.Music.Baby.” Stefani took her curtain call to No Doubt’s “Hey Baby.”

No Doubt began work in May on their anticipated sixth album, its first since 2001’s “Rock Steady.” We asked Stefani and Kanal, in separate interviews, about the new album, the show’s soundtrack, and the fashion influence of the Sex Pistols.

The Wall Street Journal: What can you tell us about the new No Doubt album?

Gwen Stefani: We’ve been working on it most of the year. We’re all having a lot of fun together in the studio and it’s a great record we’re making. There’s still a lot more work to do on it. It’s been a bit of a snail’s pace but it’s going to be worth it.

Your L.A.M.B. collections always seem to be influenced by music from different periods. What music inspired you this season?

Stefani: I just want it to be good; I just want to wear it myself – that’s the main inspiration! But there are a lot of tribal and dancehall themes this time.

In prior seasons, you’ve used red tartan plaids similar to Vivienne Westwood’s punk designs for the Sex Pistols. Is she an influence?

Stefani: I am very, very inspired by her. Yeah, I love her.

How’s the new album coming along?

Tony Kanal: It’s great. We haven’t wrapped it yet. We have about nine ideas and we’re just moving along and it feels amazing. Honestly, we’re having the best time of our lives.

What’s it like getting back together after nine years?

Kanal: Is it nine years? 2001 – you’re absolutely right! Wow, I’m impressed! The thing is, we’ve been hanging out and doing other stuff together and families growing so it doesn’t really feel like we’ve been apart. All of our families hang out. The babies are here tonight. And musically, it’s just amazing.

Tell me about some of the influences in the new album.

Kanal: Obviously the ‘80’s, since we grew up then. A lot of Jamaican influences coming in, as well.

A lot of ska and reggae? We can only hope…

Kanal: [Laughing] Yes, definitely. Lots and lots.

Which producers have you been working with?

Kanal: So far, we’re just writing. So we’ve been doing it ourselves. Our producer is Spike Stent [their longtime producer].

Do you have a title or drop date yet?

Kanal: No, it’s way too early.

Hey Guys…thinking a lot about you! We are baking up one of the most delicious records…your ears will hardly be able to take it…it will be so pleasurable!

It’s been so fun being together everyday. We started writing at Tony’s studio in his house. We just moved to a real studio in the Valley and it makes it all feel like it’s finally happening. We’re recording the first batch of songs that we wrote now and after this we’re gonna go right back in and write some more.

Wouldn’t have gotten to this point without all of you coming out to see us on the Summer Tour. You are so inspiring! Gonna tweet you pictures and keep you updated. We need your vibes! Check out some more news down below…

Love,
Gwen & My Boys (the No Doubt ones)

Although the group has redoubled their studio work in recent months, their new 2010 album has actually been in the works for a few years now. In 2006, the group told MTV that they were already starting on work on the album, even without lead singer Gwen Stefani, who was expecting a child at the time. Once Stefani returned, they were originally hoping to release an album in 2008, but eventually were forced to delay production once again as they decided to focus more on their 2009 comeback tour.

Now, however, it appears that the stars have aligned, and that everyone in the group is once again on the same page. There’s still no release date for the still-untitled album, nor has No Doubt released an official tracklist. In 2008, though, drummer Adrian Young spoke with MTV about the early sounds that were coming out of the studio thus far. “It seems like we’ve always come from an eclectic background musically,” he said. “But we seem to always gravitate towards reggae. I can’t say that’s what our record is going to be like, ’cause it’s too early to tell, but what makes us feel really good is reggae music. I can play reggae music to my grave.”

Fully aware that their devoted fans will seize any bit of information they can find, the group has also taken to Twitter, where they’ve been regularly updating the world on the record’s progress, as well as giving insight into the atmosphere of their studio. “Tony and Gwen are rocking the synth. Our little studio is warm and candlelit, above the glowing city. Tom,” is what guitarist Tom Dumont tweeted in January. Fans can thus take solace in the fact that not only is No Doubt definitely back in the studio and working diligently toward a new 2010 album, but that we’ll all be able to follow their every move along the way.
