In early 2003, Stefani began recording solo material, stating that she was interested in creating singles to be used on soundtracks and later playing Jean Harlow in The Aviator but that she was also considering continuing her series of collaborations or making a full solo album.^[9] During her first sessions with Linda Perry Stefani's combination of self-consciousness and writer's block resulted in an unfruitful attempt.^[7] On the second day, the two wrote a song about Stefani's writer's block, which became "What You Waiting For?", the lead single.^[7] Jean Harlow (born Harlean Harlow Carpenter, March 3, 1911 – June 7, 1937) was an American film actress and top sex symbol of the 1930s. ...

Lyrical content

Many of the songs discuss fashion and wealth.

Like pop of the 1980s, L.A.M.B. focuses primarily on money, with songs such as "Rich Girl" and "Luxurious" featuring descriptions of riches and wealth.^[2] The album also contains several references to Stefani's clothing line, L.A.M.B.,^[2] and alludes to contemporary fashion designers such as John Galliano, Comme des Garçons, and Vivienne Westwood.^[11] Stefani later released a series of dolls named the Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Fashion Dolls designed after the costumes from her tour.^[12] Although Stefani intended for the album to only be a light dance record, she stated that "no matter what you do, things just come out."^[13] The opening track, "What You Waiting For?", discusses Stefani's desire to be a mother; in 2006, she and her husband, Bush singer Gavin Rossdale, had a son named Kingston Rossdale.^[14] The fourth track "Cool" discusses Stefani's friendship with Tony Kanal after Kanal ended a romantic relationship with her in 1995.^[15] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 451 × 600 pixel Image in higher resolution (600 × 798 pixel, file size: 72 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) The permission for use of this work has been archived in the Wikimedia OTRS system. ...

The Harajuku Girls performing on the Harajuku Lovers Tour.

Love. Angel. Music. Baby. also introduced the Harajuku Girls, an entourage of four Japanese women who Stefani treats as a figment of her imagination.^[16] The Harajuku Girls are frequently mentioned in the album, with the song "Harajuku Girls" entirely dedicated to them. They have since appeared in most of the music videos produced for the album and those for Stefani's second album The Sweet Escape (2006), and Stefani has drawn accusations of racism for the subject. In October 2005, Korean American actor and comedian Margaret Cho wrote an article largely critical of the group.^[17] In the article, Cho referred to the group as a "minstrel show" and compared the act to the blackface tradition, stating, "I am just in acceptance over it, because something is better than nothing."^[17] The Village Voice rebuked Stefani for contractual obligations that the four not speak English though they are fluent, and stated that "silencing people is the epitome of taking away their autonomy and subjectivity, even if Gwen Stefani thinks her silent Japanese fashionistas are part of an awesome and empowering counterculture."^[3] Salon magazine also criticized the practice, stating that Stefani had "swallowed a subversive youth culture in Japan and barfed up another image of submissive giggling Asian women."^[18] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 600 pixel Image in higher resolution (2848 × 2136 pixel, file size: 1. ...

Musical style

Stefani performing "Serious" in the black and white stripes popular in New Wave fashion.

Love. Angel. Music. Baby. takes influence from a variety of 1980s genres, with one reviewer stating that "the only significant '80s radio style skipped is the ska revival that No Doubt rode to success".^[19] The album is primarily pop, with the synthesizers characteristic of synthpop, most popular from the late 1970s through the mid 1980s.^[20] New Wave, present in much of No Doubt's work, continues into Love. Angel. Music. Baby., drawing comparisons to The Go-Go's and Cyndi Lauper.^[21] L.A.M.B. also includes various styles of urban music. Several songs are influenced by old school hip hop, with electro beats designed for club play.^[22] Producers Dallas Austin and Tony Kanal incorporated R&B into their songs, and "Luxurious" contains a sample of the Isley Brothers' "Between the Sheets". Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who had produced for acts including Boyz II Men, Usher, and Mary J. Blige, incorporate new jack swing, a fusion genre of R&B and hip hop that the pair had developed and popularized during the mid 1980s.

Critical reception

L.A.M.B. received mixed reviews from contemporary pop music critics.

The album was generally criticized for its large number of collaborations and producers. The Guardian argued that although "others lend a hand…it's very much Stefani's show"; however, most others disagreed.^[30] PopMatters compared to album to a second No Doubt greatest hits album,^[21] and Pitchfork Media said that the large number of collaborators resulted in sacrificing Stefani's identity on the album.^[31] Neumu found that the album's fragmentation kept it from being "a bright-and-shiny pop-music tour-de-force".^[32] Most reviewers held that the collaborations prevented the album from having a solidified sound. Drawer B stated, "Stefani tries to be all things to all people here", but that the result "comes off as manipulative and contrived."^[33] Entertainment Weekly shared this opinion, stating that the album "is like one of those au courant retail magazines that resembles a catalog more than an old-fashioned collection of, say, articles."^[2] The Guardian is a British newspaper owned by the Guardian Media Group. ...

Many reviewers focused on the album's light lyrical themes. Entertainment Weekly called the references to Stefani's clothing line "shameless" and stated that "each song becomes akin to a pricey retro fashion blurb",^[2] and Pitchfork Media said that "the Joker's free-money parade through Gotham City was a much more entertaining display of wealth, and he had Prince, not just Wendy & Lisa."^[31] Slant magazine stated that the album's "fashion fetish…gives the album a sense of thematic cohesiveness" but that the "obsession with Harajuku girls borders on maniacal".^[20] The Guardian disagreed with this perspective, arguing that "her affinity with Japanese pop culture…yields a synthetic sheen…that works well with the other point of reference, hip-hop."^[30] The tense of this article is unsuitable for an encyclopedia. ...

Songs

"What You Waiting For?", one of the first songs written for the album, was chosen as the lead single as an "explanation for doing the record".^[45] The song discusses Stefani's fears of beginning a solo career, and an accompanying music video was made, in which Stefani regains her confidence after an experience inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The song received very positive reviews, often noted as a highlight of the album,^[46] and its single was moderately successful, reaching the top ten in most countries.^[47] The second single, "Rich Girl" charted equally well.^[48] The song, a ragga adaptation of the Fiddler on the Roof song "If I Were a Rich Man", features rapper Eve, with whom Stefani had worked when featured on Eve's single "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (2001).
