Gwen is Back - Baby Don't Lie

"Baby Don't Lie" talks about insecurities in a relationshipIt and  serves as Stefani's musical comeback as a solo artist, her last solo single, "Early Winter", was released in January 2008.

The video for Gwen's song “Baby don’t Lie”  is inspired 1939 Film and story of Wizard of OZ it stars a wildly polygonal yellow brick road. ( The 1939 film, a red brick road can be seen starting at the same point as the Yellow Brick Road but going in a different direction, this was inspiration for set design behind Ricardo Tisci’s GIVENCHY MENSWEAR FALL/WINTER 2015-2016 Collection) 

Back to Gwen, as Dorothy meets new friends on her journey, each with a need of his own so does Gwen. They are traveling down the road with an army of dancers and mountains of reoccurring Stefani patterns like bold black-and-white stripes, houndstooth and plenty of pink ,the video has Gwen tiptoeing down a morphing yellow road and showing off the first in her array of polka-dotted outfits, other dance troupe eventually arriving to jazz up the clip a little.   

The end of the music video finds the Gwen back into the gray world of old hollywood glam , transitioning from black and white to full color.

“I’ve been most influenced by Old Hollywood glamour. I’ve always been fascinated with the style and fashion in classic films. Basically I love anything glamorous that came from the 1930s, ’40s, ’50s, ’60s and even ’70s movies.”

— Gwen Stefani

BITS FROM BEHIND

VIDEO 

Attracting and electrifying each other, they write their carefree, tumultuous love story, living for the moment, seeking out sensations, diving fully-dressed into a swimming pool, shocking the public at a straight-laced ball. Their tale is unique but nonetheless universal and timeless. Whether on a deserted beach or the rooftops of New York, whatever the destination, the Dior man relishes the pleasures of whichever life he's chosen for himself - a life of a thousand possibilities.

He's in perpetual motion, running towards freedom, navigating the tightrope of an ever-changing life. The Dior man is fearless, embracing the unknown, playing with his own destiny. He has no regrets, his life is unapologetically his own, and he fits a thousand lives into his single one. Magnetic, sensual and provocative
