Love. Angel. Music. Baby. o L.A.M.B. es el primer álbum de estudio como solista de la cantante estadounidense Gwen Stefani, publicado el 23 de noviembre de 2004 de en los Estados Unidos, por la compañía discográfica Interscope Records.Aunque originalmente comenzó como un pequeño proyecto, terminó convirtiéndose en un álbum con numerosos productores y colaboraciones. En un principio, fue diseñado como una versión actualizada de la música de los años 1980, e influenciándose de artistas como Madonna, New Order, Cyndi Lauper, The Cure, Lisa Lisa y Cult Jam. La mayoría de las canciones tratan sobre la moda y riqueza, mientras que explora géneros como el pop, el new wave, el synth pop, el new jack swing, el rock electrónico y el electropop. La grabación presentó a las Harajuku Girls, cuatro bailarinas que aparecen en las diferentes actuaciones de Stefani y que están basadas en las tendencias de la moda Harajuku de Tokio.



User Album Review
Love, Angel, Music, Baby is Gwen Stefani's first solo album and a glittering salute to her passions for fashion and 80s synth. A side project from Gwen's other role as the Blondie-esque singer in No Doubt, this greatalbum reinforces her international-pop-star status and coincides with an imminent silver screen debut as Jean Harlow in Martin Scorsese's Howard Hughes' biopic The Aviator.

OutKast's Andre 3000, Dr Dre, the Neptunes, and No Doubt band mate Tony Kanal number among the talented catalogue of collaborators who have helped Gwen realize this vision of Tokyo-tastic electro pop.

Explosive opener "What You Waiting For?" is a magnificent slab of electro funk with a kick ass attitude reminiscent of Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine". Produced by Nellee Hooper, it stands out as the best track on the album for the way it pits storming beats against enthusiastic lyrics like, 'Take a chance you stupid ho' and 'I can't wait to go back and do Japan!'

"Rich Girl", produced by the ubiquitous Dr Dre, is just as infectious and teams Gwen's vocals with groovy raps from gal pal Eve. The resulting tune is disco gold, impossibly girly and very easy to dance to. Gwen and Eve sing about the joys of shopping and Gwen dreams of one day acquiring a troupe of harajuku girls ("Love, Angel, Music and Baby") to help inspire and dress her. "Bubble Pop Electric", recorded with Johnny Vulture (Andre 3000's rock 'n' roll alter ego), uses skipping scatter gun beats as an imposing backdrop to Gwen's sugar-sweet vocals. It's an effective approach later repeated on "Long Way To Go", a soulful duet from Andre and Gwen about love and boundaries.

Love, Angel, Music, Baby marks Gwen's debut as a rival to the likes of Madonna and Kelis, and their influence is apparent. The cheeky upstart charm Madonna sported in the 80s is embraced to shrewd effect on "Serious",whilst "Rich Girl" is a bouncy foil to Kelis' "Milkshake". In all, this is a stunning and stylish effort that showcases Gwen's credentials as a bonafide pop goddess.
