Blake Shelton’s Bold New Sound withTexas
Blake Shelton surprised his fans when he left Warner Music Nashville, the label he had been with for nearly 20 years.
With almost 30 No. 1 songs in his career, it seemed like a big change—but Shelton quickly signed with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville/Wheelhouse Records, home to stars likeJelly Rolland Lainey Wilson.
‘Texas‘ is his first song with the new label. The song, which talks about heartbreak and being left behind, is different from anything he’s done before.
Written by Johnny Clawson, Josh Dorr, Kyle Sturrock, and Lol Guzman, the song is less than three minutes long and has a moody, bass-driven sound with hints of disco, twangy guitars, and layered vocals.
Produced by his longtime collaborator Scott Hendricks, the song tells the story of a heartbroken man sitting in a smoky bar, wondering where his ex has gone after leaving him.
Shelton even gives a nod toGeorge Straitby mentioning the classic hitAll My Ex’s Live in Texas.
Shelton says this song is different from anything he’s done before, calling it the perfect way to start the next chapter of his career.
It’s a big leap, but Shelton is excited to push his boundaries and try something new.
