The 42-year-old said that working together is more fun then doing solo albums, reported Contactmusic.
"There's nothing that compares to being in a band with your best friends you've known all these years. That whole period when I got to do solo records, to me it was indulging my theatrical side... Songs that were never really meant to be taken seriously, just for fun," she said.
"It was just a project I did that was very inspired, and it kind of got a little out of control, really. But there's no place like home; we're so comfortable together, we understand each other. It feels, like, normal. Whereas that (solo) period felt like I was trying to be something, and play a role, and pretend," Stefani added.
