Overview Edit

"Luxurious" is an R&B song written by Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal for Stefani's debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby (2004). It samples the Isley Brothers' "Between the Sheets" (1983).

In addition to the Isley Brothers sample, the song features use of keyboards, synthesizers, and electric guitars. The song is a slow jam love song and the lyrics describe the persona's desire to be rich in love, simultaneously comparing her lover with luxuries. The song also features Stefani's husband Gavin Rossdale who opens the song in French.

The song was released as the album's fifth single in late 2005 (see 2005 in music) along with a remix. A music video featuring rapper Slim Thug was also released which featured the Harajuku Girls as well. The track received mixed reviews from critics, who generally found the track less impressive than the previous singles. It entered the top forty worldwide but had mediocre success overall and was less popular than the previous singles from L.A.M.B.

3 stars Cool as it is (2.5-3 stars)
yo MisterMaxxx is breaking up behind this track (the 4th and final single off the disc LOVE.ANGEL.MUSIC.BABY from Gwen Stefani), This is what I expect and a pure-sampled out joint featuring Gwen Stefani along w/ Slim Thug (on the rmx. with her) is going BANANAS!!!

Again Maxx (or Bro. Maxxx) needs to try again next time aight. He's been too typical on some things. No bad feelings.
