Blake Shelton Prepares For Exciting New Career Chapter: ‘I Am READY TO GO!’

Country superstar Blake Shelton has signed a new label deal with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville.

BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville announced the news on Monday afternoon through a press release.

“Blake is one of the biggest personalities and presences in media,” Jon Loba, President, Frontline Recordings, Americas, BMG, shared. “America first got to know him through incredible, timeless songs and live shows and then fell in love with him and his sense of humor through TV. We are so excited he’s joining the BMG Global family and cannot wait to share his incredible new music with the world. He’s been laser-focused on delivering some of the best of his career and it shows. We have been dancing through the office, literally not just figuratively, since we heard the first couple songs he played for us!”

“A huge thanks to Jon, Peter, JoJamie, Katie, and the BMG family for being as excited as me about this new chapter we will write together,” Shelton added. “I felt their passion and love for music when I met with them, and I knew I was home. I am READY TO GO!”

The news comes after Shelton shocked fans earlier this month with the announcement that he parted ways with his longtime label home, Warner Music Nashville, after 23 years. 

 “I moved to Nashville when I was 17 to sing country music and get a record deal,” Shelton, 48, shared in a statement at the time. “Along with the support from Warner, my dreams came true, and then some. It’s impossible to name everyone who has had a hand in all the success we enjoyed, but a huge and heartfelt thank you to the Giant Records, Warner Bros. Records and Warner Music Nashville staff and family.”

While an announcement regarding new music has yet to be released, Shelton is currently rising up the singles and streaming charts with Post Malone on the Top 5 smash hit, “Pour Me A Drink.”

The Oklahoma native joins  BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville with an impressive resume that boasts 28 No. 1 singles, 11 billion global streams, 52 million singles sold, and 13 million albums sold. He’s earned numerous accolades, including CMA Entertainer of the Year and five consecutive Male Vocalist of the Year awards.

In addition to his music, Shelton is a familiar face as a coach on NBC’s Emmy award-winning show, “The Voice,” where he spent 23 seasons. He and Carson Daly co-produced and starred in the celebrity game show “Barmageddon.” Shelton has also appeared in films like Pitch Perfect 2 and The Ridiculous 6, voiced a character in Angry Birds The Movie, and performed a spirited version of “Go Tell It On The Mountain” for the closing credits of the upcoming Lionsgate film, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

Early next year, Shelton will head to Las Vegas for a run of six shows, scheduled to take place from February 5 to February 15, 2025. The highly anticipated events will take place at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Shelton admits he’s been considering a Las Vegas residency for quite a while and is eager to take the stage in Sin City.

“We’ve been talking about a Vegas residency for a few years, and all the pieces just came together for a run next year,” Shelton shared in a statement. “The Colosseum is such an iconic venue, and I’m excited to bring some honky-tonk neon to the Palace.”

The performances are scheduled for February 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, and 15, with each show starting at 8 p.m. local time.
