Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are not strangers to sharing the limelight. After both participating in the role of a vocal judge on NBC's "The Voice," the two partnered up, both professionally and personally.
The two superstars got married in July of 2021 and have recorded four songs together since 2016. Now, a fifth is on all major platforms.
"Purple Irises" is their new single and the two will debut it with a performance at the Super Bowl LVIII TikTok Tailgate ahead of the much-anticipated matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The new single is billed as a song that is "introspective and nostalgic, the enduring anthem explores how time tests — and often strengthens — the bonds we share," according to a release from Warner Music Nashville.
“Purple Irises is a song that comes from the idea that when you plant something you are planting hope and watching love grow,” says Stefani. “Weathering all the different seasons of growth. We are in this together, we planted the seeds together and we are growing together.”
As for Shelton, he is smitten not only with his wife but her ability to write music and bring it to life.
"We love this song so much,” said Shelton. "It’s a song Gwen wrote with a couple of friends of hers, and I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. She knew there was something different about it and asked me to come in and sing with her. My longtime producer, Scott Hendricks, produced it, and Gwen’s been wanting to work with him for a long time now, and it’s turned into this really cool and different song that can live anywhere."
“Purple Irises" is available now at all digital retailers via Warner Music Nashville / Interscope Records. Listen HERE.
