Blake Shelton’s new single, “Texas,” brings him full circle, paying homage to his roots and the iconic George Strait. This heartfelt lost-love ballad also nods to Shelton’s debut hit, “Austin,” which topped charts for five weeks in 2001.
Released on Nov. 15, “Texas” marks Shelton’s first radio single under his new label, BBR Music Group, and follows his 2023 hit, “No Body.” Written by Johnny Clawson, Kyle Sturrock, Josh Dorr, and Lalo Guzman, with Scott Hendricks producing, this track sets the stage for what fans hope will be another chart-topping success.
Fans noticed his cowboy look on the song’s album cover. On Instagram, Carson Daly — host of The Voice and friend to Shelton — said, “You look like a real man for once.”
