A highly anticipated release, the No Doubt lead singer has incorporated hip hop beats with a New Wave sensibility. With the success of No Doubt in Australia and around the world, Gwen Stefani’s debut release is set to be a chart topper.
Performer Notes
Historically, it's a tricky endeavor for the singer from an enormously successful band to embark on a solo career. Gwen Stefani, the glamorous vocalist for No Doubt, sidesteps the issue on her first solo album, LOVE, ANGEL, MUSIC, BABY, by largely eschewing the No Doubt sound. In its place, there's a strong emphasis on the R&B and hip-hop flavors that were hinted at in preceding No Doubt records. Towards that end, Stefani gamely enlists the assistance of Dr. Dre, the Neptunes, Andre 3000 of Outkast, and others, on an album that references everything from Japanese pop culture ("Harajuku Girls") to FIDDLER ON THE ROOF ("Rich Girl," featuring rapper Eve). Sensual R&B rhythms, frenetic hip-hop beats, and yes, the occasional pop/rock echo of No Doubt, all share space on LOVE, ANGEL, MUSIC, BABY, filtered through a fun-loving, party-starting sensibility.
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.173) - 4 stars out of 5 - "It's an irresistible party: trashy, hedonistic and deeply weird."
Rolling Stone (p.152) - Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "A candy-scented love letter to New Wave, dance pop and Harajuku girls..."
Uncut (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A]s adventurous and alluring as mainstream pop gets...LAMB is not just her best record, it's one of the most audacious pop albums of the year."

I actually don't mind this cd - it is rather poppy, but it has a good beat, and generally decent lyrics (even though a few are slightly from left field, ala. Hollaback Girl). Don't buy this expecting to hear songs that sound like No Doubt, because if you do, you would be sorely disappointed.
pfft bit of a boring cd from mrs gavin rossdale, who really should have, in my opinion, stuck with no doubt, ebven if they were fizzling out. i find this cd to be really boring at some stages, and the repetition of beats really drive me up the wall at times! i cant stand all the radio "hits", so thanks a lot radio.
This girl is absolutely amazing! With recently having lil baby Kingston, she is still going strong with a string of hits from over the years yet she still amazes me! The spirit of solo Gwen is still going strong and if you dont already own this album...... You need to!
