Country music icon Blake Shelton has released his latest single ‘Texas' out now via BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE and Wheelhouse Records. This catchy, new track combines Shelton’s classic sound with a fresh edge, exploring the familiar theme of lost love — with a nod to Texas and George Strait’s iconic “where all the exes go” reference.
We think it might be his best song in years, brimming with verve and fiery, moody emotions, ‘Texas' is a different sound for Shelton but it suits his rich vocals down to a tee. With a chorus straight out of music heaven, ‘Texas' is made for singing and dancing along too.
Shelton shared his excitement about the release, saying, “The thing that struck me about Texas immediately was how different it sounded for me, and I’m always looking to push myself. I think there’s something really special about this record and important for me.” The song tells the story of a man who’s been left behind by a free-spirited woman, guessing she’s probably in Texas, where her adventurous heart belongs. The track’s infectious call-and-response style is sure to make it a crowd favorite, inviting listeners to sing along.
Written by Johnny Clawson, Kyle Sturrock, Josh Dorr, and Lalo Guzman, Texas marks Shelton’s debut with BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE and Wheelhouse Records. Produced by longtime collaborator and award-winning producer Scott Hendricks, the song delivers both familiarity and innovation, setting a powerful tone for Shelton’s next chapter. “This is the perfect opportunity to come back with something so different,” Shelton said. “It’s connected with what I’ve done but moves forward at the same time.”
Following his recent chart-topping collaboration with Post Malone on ‘Pour Me A Drink' Shelton continues his momentum with ‘Texas.' Fans can catch him performing the new single live on Jimmy Kimmel Live on November 20, where he’ll take the outdoor stage for an exciting debut performance.
Texas is now available on all major streaming platforms — tune in and get ready to sing along!
