Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Love, Angel, Music, Baby gets. Love, Angel, Music, Baby simply stated is one of Gwen Stefani's best CDs to date.

Gwen Stefani has been a super star in the Pop genre for quite a while now and Love, Angel, Music, Baby is an excellent illustration as to why.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Gwen Stefani's most impressive releases ever.

This is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it two thumbs up. It's quite simply great listening. A must buy if you're even mildly into Pop music.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6, Luxurious. It's a great track!
