It's been three years since his last full album release and Blake Shelton has just announced that he will release Body Language on May 2. The album will feature 12 tracks, including the No. 1 duet with Gwen Stefani “Happy Anywhere” and the single “Minimum Wage.”

Blake said via press release, “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."

He added, "I’m also thrilled to have my buddies The Swon Brothers featured on the title track as both co-writers and vocalists. Can’t wait for y’all to hear it!”
