Love. Angel. Music. Baby. è l’album di debutto della cantante statunitense Gwen Stefani come solista, pubblicato il 12 novembre 2004 dalla Interscope Records.

Love. Angel. Music. Baby., abbreviato anche in L.A.M.B. (it. "agnello'"), è un album pop e synthpop ispirato alla musica degli anni ottanta.

L’album segnò la nascita delle Harajuku Girls, quattro ballerine vestite secondo l’interpretazione di Gwen Stefani delle mode giovanili di Harajuku, un distretto di Tokyo (Giappone).

Da Love. Angel. Music. Baby. furono estratti sei singoli. L’album vendette molto bene, ottenendo varie certificazioni di disco di platino, tra cui anche in Italia, per un totale di 7 milioni di copie vendute nel mondo. Gwen Stefani ricevette ben sei nomination ai Grammy Award tra il 2005 ed il 2006.

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.
