Blake Shelton’s 12th studio album Body Language is a project Blake says he's been working on for a few years.

Shelton offers, “We’ve been working on this record for years and certainly the pandemic slowed us down, but it’s probably the best process that I’ve had to make an album because you can’t live with them any longer than I’ve lived with these songs."

He adds, "And I still feel as strongly as I do about them. That makes me have even more confidence in the record.”

The new album will be out on May 21. 2021.
