Love Angel Music Baby - Gwen Stefani

After being majorly into No Doubt, Gwen's solo career was a buzz of excitement for me as I expected more of the same. Alas, her solo efforts were not what I was expecting... Who is she: Former singer of punk/ska outfit No Doubt, turned solo star. Gwen has since turned her attention to fashion. On this album: The rhythm os 'What You Waiting For' will have you rushing to the dancefloor. A thunderous bassline drives it and her kooky vocals shimmer over the top with style. It is a worthy opener. 'Rich Girl' takes things on a more r and b route, though there is a tinge of reggae about it. Gwen's vocals are sweet on this and Eve adds ...  Read the complete review

Gwen Stefani started off in a band called No Doubt where she first rose to fame. In 2004 Gwen decided to release her first solo album called Love Angel Music Baby which is the album I am going to review. She has become famous for several reasons and is known as a fashion trendsetter, she has her own unique style. The cover of this album has a definite Japanese influence throughout with a slight gothic side to it in some photos. Personally I think she looks fabulous in the pictures and looks sexy but not in a really obvious way and it's not sleazy. I am going to review this album and give each track a rating out of 5. 1. What You Waiting for? (3.41) ...  Read the complete review

Released in late 2004, 'Love. Angel. Music. Baby.' is the debut solo release from Gwen Stefani. The album consists of thirteen tracks and this therefore provides for over 50 minutes of music. It's a bubbly dance/pop album with which the voice of Gwen Stefani is incredibly well put across. The electronic instrumental sound is strong here, the vocal approach taken by Gwen Stefani also is excellent and always here the female artist has much to offer. Every track on this album is upbeat and energetic, it's a far cry from the music of No Doubt but is I feel equally excellently executed. The album begins with 'What You Waiting For?' and never here is there ever a ...  Read the complete review

No Doubt are one of the most inventive and creative bands of all time and definitely one of my favourite acts. I was very excited when I read that the band's frontwoman Gwen Stefani was embarking on a solo career though sadly she doesn't really take any of the qualities that made me like No Doubt's music so much with her onto her first solo record 'Love, Angel, Music, Baby'. The record takes its name from the four mysterious Japanese girls that are prone to following Gwen everywhere as apparently she has named them Love, Angel, Music and Baby. Gwen approaches her solo album by brabbing hold of top producer Dallas Austin and also recruiting songwriter Linda ...  Read the complete review

Sitting at the highest position, we find Gwen Stefani ready to take her place in this land we call pop.(Maybe she should be called the Princes of Pop) Regardless of what you call her. You can definitely call her an entertainer. The greatest thing you can say about "Love, Angel, Music, Baby" is the fact that it is simply and irresistibly entertaining music. Sure the ...  Read the complete review
