Gwen Stefani is ready to bring the right temperature to season 22 of “The Voice!” ET can announce exclusively that the performer will be joined by Sean Paul as her celebrity advisor on the upcoming season of the NBC singing competition.

The pair recently teamed up on “Light My Fire” – off of Paul’s latest album, Scorcha, which dropped in May – and Stefani said that while that was their first official collaboration, their “souls knew each other” for a long time before they worked together. “[I’ve] definitely felt her vibes, her voice and all of that from No Doubt days all the way through ‘Bananas’ days… straight up to now,” Paul agreed. “She’s awesome… when she said yes, I did a little dance.” Stefani was similarly thrilled to team up with the reggae legend, noting her connection to Jamaican music predates even No Doubt’s dancehall-inspired 2001 album, Rock Steady. “I grew up loving ska music, which was, at the time, like, super underground,” she noted. “[There were] a lot of English groups like Madness, The Specials, and The Selecter, which led me into reggae music… And then, it’s just crazy to think that all these years later, I’m standing with a legend.” Stefani and Paul join a star-studded list of coach-advisor duos in season 22, as Blake Shelton selected country sensation Jimmie Allen to join his team for the Battle Rounds, John Legend will have GRAMMY winner Jazmine Sullivan to help guide his team members and new coach Camila Cabello selecting pal Charlie Puth to help as her team’s advisor.

Stefani told ET she’s more than thrilled to have the Kingston-born hitmaker on her team as she returns to “The Voice” this fall to compete against husband shelton for the first time since they tied the knot and for the first time
