Limited Edition Enhanced Japanese pressing of the sophomore album from the No Doubt vocalist and fashion icon features one bonus track ('Wind It Up'-Harajuku Lovers Live Version) plus two bonus enhanced videos: 'Orange County Girl' (Live) and 'Wind It Up' (Harajuku Lovers Live Version). On her second album, the music and fashion icon takes you on a wild musical and visual ride featuring some of the most creative collaborators of our time, including Pharrel Williams, Nellee Hooper, Tim Nice-Oxley Of Keane and Tony Kanal Of No Doubt. Other contributors to the album include Akon, Sean Garrett, Swizz Beatz, Dave Stewart and Keane’s Tim Rice-Oxley. This album is surprisingly different than the last one. "I started recording it last year before Kingston was born and it’s definitely evolved over the last year. The dance sound is very ‘now.’ It’s modern not so retro," says the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very catchy, but only a few good songs!
Comment: It's an okay album, the songs are very catchy, but I can only stand to listen to 4-5 of them over an over again... it may be a better idea to buy MP3s of the songs you like.
Customer Rating:
Summary: What Will Her Kids Say?
Comment: What Is She Going To Do With This CD In Years To Come?... This Is A Complete Joke. It Sounds Like A Parody Of Hip-Hop Music. I Don't Even Need To Comment, All of The "1 Star Reviews" pretty Much Sum It Up.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Could have been better
Comment: I've listened to a few songs and listened to the rest of the track lists for a few minutes."The Sweet Escape" is not as good as "Love.Angel.Music.Baby.".I hope Gwen Stefani's next album will be awesome!!.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One Song Won't Play
Comment: Product came in 3 days. Plays all but last song on CD. Contacted the seller a week ago about the problem but have received no answer from them. Not their fault as it was sealed and new but the Customer Service seems to suck.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Disappointing Lack of Mature Artistry
Comment: Two stars are awarded for the three most listenable tracks
on the disc (Sweet Escape, 4 in the Morning, Early WInter).
The rest is immature, non-melodic, syntho-pop/rap garbage.
This is not a mature album, nor is it much of a stretch for Gwen
Stefani, who, now being a 35 year-old mother of two, can't seem
to harness the power or maturity of her chronological age and
apply it to her work as an "artist." Note to Gwen: the bubblegum
rap/pop/syntho gunk about boyfriends and cell phones that your
adoring 12-18 year fan base swoons over isn't broad or appealing
enough to keep you singing much longer. This stuff ain't gonna fly
when your 40, girrrrrl. Find a new way to represent.
