Blake Shelton’s next single to country radio and the flagship single from a forthcoming project is called "God's Country" and will hit radio on Friday.

“‘God’s Country’ is a song that has a strong and deep meaningful lyric, but at the same time it leaves it up to the listeners interpretation,” Shelton said. “But no matter where you are from or where you’re standing it is my belief that you’re standing in God’s Country. It’s really about a state of mind. Wherever you’re from and how you feel about that place. For me it’s about being from Oklahoma – where I was born, raised and still live today.”

He gave a taste of the new song on Instagram.

Blake just wrapped his headlining “Friends & Heroes 2019” run this past weekend in Albany. He was joined by special guest Lauren Alaina and with special appearances from the Bellamy Brothers, John Anderson and Trace Adkins.
