Blake Shelton to release new album 'Body Language' in May

Blake Shelton announced Monday that his 12th studio album Body Language will arrive May 21 along with a glimpse at the cover art: 

Body Language will be Shelton's first full-length work since 2017's Texoma Shore. In December 2019, however, the eight-time Grammy nominee released a compilation titled Fully Loaded: God's Country , which included new track "Nobody But You" featuring his now-fiancee Gwen Stefani.

Rolling Stone provided the full track list, including "Minimum Wage" (out Jan. 14) and "Happy Anywhere" featuring Stefani, who got engaged to Shelton last October:

1. “Minimum Wage” (Nicolle Galyon, Jesse Frasure, Corey Crowder)

2. “Body Language” (feat. The Swon Brothers) (Colton Swon, Zach Swon, Matt McGinn, Ryan Beaver)

3. “Happy Anywhere” (feat. Gwen Stefani) (Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne, Matt Jenkins)

4. “Now I Don’t” (Jessi Alexander, Alyssa Vanderheym, Michael Hardy)

5. “Monday Mornin’ Missin’ You” (Jessi Alexander, Deric Ruttan, Josh Thompson)

6. “Corn” (Craig Wiseman, Matt Dragstrem, Chris Tompkins, Rodney Clawon)

7. “Makin’ It Up As You Go” (Brad Tursi, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne)

8. “Whatcha Doin’ Tomorrow” (Dallas Davidson, Kyle Fishman, Casey Beathard)

9. “The Girl Can’t Help It” (Ben Hayslip, Josh Osborne, Mark Holman)

10. “The Flow” (Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne)

11. “Neon Time” (Jaron Boyer, Michael Tyler, Ben West)

12. “Bible Verses” (Joe Fox, Andrew Peebles, Brett Sheroky)

The publication also provided a statement from Shelton: "We've been working on this album on and off for two years now, and I'm very proud of what we have put together. We certainly had some unique challenges with the pandemic, but we also had a lot of fun. We explored new sounds while making sure to get in some classic country."

The title track will see Shelton collaborate with The Swon Brothers, who finished third on The Voice's fifth season in 2013. The duo had Shelton as their coach throughout their run on the NBC singing competition show, where the 44-year-old country star remains the only original coach from its 2011 debut.
