Love Angel Music Baby  Hear it Now

RS: 4of 5 Stars

Play View Gwen Stefani's page on Rhapsody

No Doubt singer flies solo and hits the dance floor for her first solo album, Gwen Stefani could have gone the solemn schlock route. But fortunately, she obeys her disco instincts on Love, Angel, Music, Baby. It's an irresistible party: trashy, hedonistic and deeply weird. Stefani's gum-snapping sass brings out the beast in her beatmasters, especially the Neptunes in "Hollaback Girl" and Andre 3000 in "Bubble Pop Electric." Dr. Dre and Eve appear in the Fiddler on the Roof goof "Rich Girl." She sings repeatedly about her obsession with "Harajaku Girls," until she sounds like a Japanese pop princess in Valley Girl drag. And anyone who can get New Order on the same track as Wendy and Lisa ("Real Thing") is some kind of visionary.
