In this special video essay, we'll travel back to 2004 when Gwen Stefani t shocked the world with "Love. Angel. Music. Baby", her first solo record. This album saw Stefani break away from No Doubt to forge her own path in pop. Along with some amazing music, the era faced controversy with its Harajuku Girls concept and other instances of cultural appropriation. This video will discuss the L.A.M.B. era's history, its deeper meanings, release strategy, and songs track by track. #LoveAngelMusicBaby #gwenstefani #videoessay
