This is a list of tribute albums dedicated to American singer Gwen Stefani. Amongst projects in honor of Stefani include various cover albums, instrumental albums, and karaoke albums. Following the release of Stefani's first solo studio album in 2004, Love. Angel. Music. Baby., the Vitamin String Quartet released The String Quartet Tribute to Gwen Stefani (2005) to pay tribute.[1] Including covers of songs as performed with string instruments, the album was criticized for being uninteresting.[1] Big Eye Music released two records – both titled A Tribute to Gwen Stefani – in 2006 and 2007. The first album contains 11 covers of Stefani's solo material and her work with No Doubt as performed by the Hollaback Girls tribute band. In addition, an unrelated cover of Coldplay's "Yellow", performed by Tina Root's side-project Tre Lux, serves as a bonus track.[2] The 2007 version features Sabrina Claudio performing a cover of No Doubt's 2000 single "Simple Kind of Life".[3]
