Gwen Stefani is back!
The eclectic singer’s new single ‘Baby Don’t Lie’ – her first solo effort in over eight years – has arrived!
Produced by hit vendors Benny Blanco and Ryan Tedder, the anthemic number serves as the lead release from the No Doubt diva’s third studio album – currently due for a December release.
With the song’s accompanying video already shot by acclaimed director Sophie Muller (whose credits include Beyonce and many of Ms. Stefani’s previous visuals), does the track itself deliver? Find out below…
{Updated With VEVO stream}
On her first swing of the bat, Gwen has scored herself a hit!
Is ‘Baby’ groundbreaking? Not particularly. However, it smartly packs enough “Stefani-isms” to pander to the singer’s established audience, yet powerfully matures the sound from her 2004-2007 solo run into something that is both befitting of her age and relevant to today’s radio climate.
Put simply, while the song itself is “good”, it’s the selection of it as a single that is where the true greatness lies. It’ll be intriguing to see if its chart trajectory re-affirms this.

Beyonce has shown everyone that anything
Is possible!!
Dope single ..she still has it!!!
What has Beyonce’s ass got anything to do with making Gwen Stefani’s comeback possible? The delusion.
interesting choice to have Benny Blanco and Ryan Tedder executive produce this album. As far as the track? It’s a sure fire radio hit. That being said, I’m not a fan of the track.
YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS QUEEN GWEN
Xfactor is a career curse, It will Flop worse than “LA Love”
She’s on The Voice.
Rihanna and Aaliyah have no voice.
Who cares the name, You know wtf I meant! LMAO!
Aaliyah has a better voice from the great
beyond, than Ciara, EVER has. Don’t do it
to yourself honey.
Repent and retreat. >>>>>>>>>>>
Yaaasss slay this bytch for none facts!!!
U should know wat ur ‘READIN’
@FUTURECIARA
the fail!!!
this song is trash it will flop
Hi Molly!
LOL!
Just like that stank pûssy you serve!!!!
No thanks sounds like a j.lo reject track.
H** they’re not talking about your pûssy
Love her voice. This song is a grower though.
Why are people so impressed with mediocre crap like this its decent at best but forgettable.
not everyone wants to listen to doped up circus freak rejects that you stan for.
Suck CÔCK!!!!!!
I remember her first album havinh horrible singles. .. until the 3rd single and blew up. Not my cup of tea, but I can see this on the radio.
You didn’t like what are you waiting for? I loved that song it was really fun but hollaback girl and bubble pop electric and crash were my jam 🙂
It will flop like fergies single.
where is Ciara on the charts? billboard doesn’t even know who and what a Ciara is
I lover her but this is a no, the track is mediocre, i’m surprised by this, it just show that everyone have their bad moments, she’s still a Goddess to me, she is identical to my mother, it’s kind of funny cuz i think Gwen is hot but if i think about my mom, not matter how good looking she is, i say eww, lol.
It’s a grower, I like it.
barbs have low standards
Low Standards? the c-squad should not talk about low anything when Ciara has low albums sales, she sales her albums for a Low Discounted Price, She has low self esteem,She had a baby by a Low Life, Ciara=Low Standards
LOVE Gwen but I’m not here for this. Also kinda proves Benny Blanco wasn’t the one that made the girl in my avi’s song p0p as I thought.
Also it sounds like Ellie Goulding’s “Burn”.
That’s exactly what it sounds like. I knew it sounded familiar!
its cool but she should have giving us a hollerback girl part 2 (2014 version)
It’s enough of a bop, I will support.
The song is a 7 out of 10, for me.
Confused as to why it’s more a
throwback Shakira record, and
less future Gwen.
In any case, it could do decent sales
and airplay. Extremely radio friendly
song.
YAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS QUEEN GWEN!!! Slay Flopnika Garbaj’s life!!!!!!! Flopnika Garbaj copies Gwen Stefani just like she copies Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim! RECEIPTS:

I c she rockin the one eye thang!
Eh…..it’ll probably flop tbh..
Not much swag. She should’ve rapped some more like in her old material on L.A.M.B. I was expecting a killer track that could rival the likes of Iggy Azalea & Nicki Minaj
The song won’t be in my music library, but at least she looks pretty on the cover. With the correct Katy Perry type of connections, she can get it on the radio with huge airplay. That would force us to like it, but as of right now, NO.
LOL!!! No lies detected! Katy literally fedex’s a suitcase full of millions each month for radio play
Lmfao is this her comeback that y’all were so hyped about? Where’s Fergie on the charts? These has beens….
The beat sounds like a shakira knock off!!!! The studio work is so evident! Extremely generic and almost annoying! Flop.
Lol, it sounds like Te Amo off Rated R so you’re saying Rihanna’s generic???
Told y’all this s*** was crap.
She’s bigger and better than this. I always liked her rock stuff more…similar to Pink but with her own unique flavor.
I think she´s trying a similar approach as Fergie. Not a fan of either of them. Both singles definitely remind me of each other.
The thing is, it is probably not worse than her solo material in 2005… but sadly, the business is not just about getting it right with the music (look at how much great music has flopped throughout the years by people who once were very successful), it is also about what´s in, the momentum and the media support. I find it hard to believe these two girls are going to be especially successful now in 2014. At least 7 years have gone by. Gwen already tried it with No Doubt two years ago.
Anyway, music is the important thing. Many legends (not saying that these two are legends of course) keep on releasing music even if almost no one notices. And I applaud and support that. So let them have their run however it turns out to be.
Not her ripping off Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” video with that cover. And the song…the song is so bland! Gwen has become so boring since Push and Shove. It’s like she ran out of ideas and it’s devastating! The song goes absolutely nowhere.
I like it. I could go surf with that.
