Tragic Kingdom is No Doubt’s third studio album.
Originally released on October 10, 1995, it was the final
album to feature original member Eric Stefani. The album was recorded over a 2
and a half year period and was produced by Matthew Wilder. It spawned seven
singles including “Just A Girl” and “Don’t Speak” (which topped the chart in
the UK and secured top five positions in a number of other countries)
The album showcases a variety of musical genres, including
ska punk, new wave pop, post-grunge and reggae as well as featuring a horn
section on a number of tracks.
A very personal album for vocalist Gwen Stefani, many of the
lyrics were about her experiences in life with “Just A Girl” detailing her
exasperation with female stereotypes and her father’s concerned reaction to her
driving home late from her boyfriend’s house, and “Don’t Speak”, a ballad about
the breakup of Stefani and bassist Tony Kanal’s relationship.
An enormous success around the world, the album topped the
US Billboard chart as well as hitting #1 in several European countries.
It has sold in excess of 16 million copies worldwide.
