Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani recently broke out of her solo career's eight-year hibernation with her newest colorful single, "Baby Don't Lie". The No Doubt front-woman and recent judge of The Voice has returned with a reggae-tinged pop track. A play on The Wizard of Oz, the video stars a wildly polygonal yellow brick road, an army of dancers and mountains of reoccurring Stefani patterns like bold black-and-white stripes and plenty of pink. Stefani co-wrote the cut with producers Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder and Noel Zancanella. The single is the first from the singer's as-yet-untitled third solo album, the long-awaited follow-up to 2006's The Sweet Escape. While few details about this upcoming album have been announced, Stefani's fellow Voice judge Pharrell Williams worked on some of the tracks and Blanco executive produced the album.

During No Doubt's hiatus, Stefani has embarked on a solo career. She released her debut album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. in 2004. It sold over seven million copies and it spawned three major hit singles: "What You Waiting For?," "Rich Girl," and "Hollaback Girl," the latter becoming the first US digital download to sell one million copies. Stefani's second studio album The Sweet Escape was released in 2006, the album produced two successful singles; "Wind It Up" and the album's title track "The Sweet Escape". Including her work with No Doubt, Stefani has sold more than thirty million albums worldwide.
