Blake Shelton’s New Album Out Today

Blake Shelton just released his new album, Body Language.

The pandemic certainly gave him more time to record the album, but he said he’s been working on it for the past couple of years.

“You know, I can’t sit here and say that this album was created during the pandemic, because it dates back way further than that. We’ve actually been working on this album for probably over 2 years now, I think, and we’ve recorded parts of it in Nashville, Oklahoma, Los Angeles, some of it out on the road that I don’t even remember where we were, but we were definitely able to focus in and finish the album during this pandemic. I think we only actually recorded 3 songs during the pandemic, believe it or not. Just been waiting for the right time to release this music.”

Body Language is Blake’s 12th studio album.

It includes the chart-topping hit “Happy Anywhere” featuring Gwen Stefani, as well as his current single “Minimum Wage.”

Blake will kick-off release day with a visit to NBC’s Today show.

He’s set to perform during the 8, 9, and 10 a.m. hours.

In other Blake news, he told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that his and Gwen’s first dance at their wedding will be to “If You Leave” by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark from the 1986 Pretty In Pink soundtrack. Blake said,

“We both love the song and we’re both fans of the 80s. Why not?” There’s no official word on when that wedding will take place.
