GETTING ALONG FAMOUSLY

There's a host of big names on 'Love Angel Music Baby'...

GWEN STEFANI has roped in NEW ORDER and ANDRE 3000 for her long-awaited solo album.

NME.COM has heard ‘Love Angel Music Baby’ (LAMB), which is released on November 22 through Interscope, and the record sees the Pink singer united with a host of famous friends.

New Order’s Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook – who are hard at work on their own follow-up to 2001's ‘Get Ready’ – provide guitar and bass on the track ‘Real Thing’, which was co-written by Linda Perry (Christina Aguilera / No Doubt) and produced by Nellee Hooper (Bjork / [/a]).

OutKast star Andre 3000 turns up on a skit-style track called ‘Bubble Pop Electric’ in which he plays ‘Johnny’, who takes ‘Gwennie’ out on a date.

Stefani is also reunited with rapper [a], with whom she scored a hit with ‘Let Me Blow Ya Mind’ in 2001, on ‘Rich Girl’. The track borrows from ‘If I Were A Rich Man’ from the musical ‘Fiddler On The Roof’.

Other guests on the star-studded project are Dr Dre, The Neptunes, Jam and Lewis, Dallas Austin and Pink bandmate Tony Kanal.

The first single from ‘Love Angel Music Baby’ is ‘What You Waiting For?’, and will be released on November 8.
