With the flick "Go" generating a buzz among critics, No Doubt's "New" is propelling interest in the film's soundtrack. The song is not only the first single off the record; it's also the group's first release in over a year.

The band has been holed up in the studio working on its new disc with Glen Ballard, perhaps best known as Alanis Morissette's producer and writing partner. Lead Doubter Gwen Stefani escaped just long enough to attend last week's "Go" premiere in L.A., where she gave MTV News a report on what we can expect from the album.
