Buy this album!
Gwen Stefani has hit the shelves with a solo project and with No Doubt it has to be one of the best albums of the year.
The Album is a dance, pop, electronica in all of it's glory throwing us back into the eighties with sounds reminiscent of Madonna and the feel of Harajuku counter culture Tokyo scene plays through out (And constant references to Harajuku Girls isn't why.) with the ambience of New Order. Her influences woven with her lyrics are refreshing and exciting to see Gwen isn't stuck in Ska pop when she branches out she is in control and shows the depth of her talent something you could only see glimpses of in No Doubt.
This is a very diverse album and few that run that spectrum are ever worth the money. This album exceeds what I was expecting without hitting any snags it runs the spectrum flawlessly bridging the Cars and Eve chasm all the while the pretentious nature of solo projects is absent.
The Album is solid, go buy it.
