"Blake is one of the biggest personalities and presences in media," said Jon Loba, President of Frontline Recordings, BMG in a press release. "America first got to know him through his incredible, timeless songs, and live shows, and then fell in love with him through his sense of humor on TV. We are so excited he’s joining the BMG family and cannot wait to share his incredible new music with the world."

Shelton, for his part, is equally excited about the new partnership. “I felt their passion and love for music when I met with them, and I knew I was home. I am READY TO GO!” Shelton shared enthusiastically in a press statement.

A Legacy of Hits and Heart

Blake Shelton has been a cornerstone of country music for over 20 years. His career kicked off with a bang in 2001, when his debut single "Austin" climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Since then, he has delivered hit after hit, according to the press release Blake has amassed an impressive 28 No. 1 singles, 11 billion global streams, and over 52 million singles sold.

The press release also highlighted Shelton's accolades including multiple CMA awards, including the prestigious Entertainer of the Year, and five consecutive wins as Male Vocalist of the Year. His ability to captivate both fans and critics alike has made him a consistent presence in the country music industry.

A Tour and Residency in 2025

As Shelton embarks on this exciting new chapter, he’s not slowing down in terms of live performances. In 2025, fans can look forward to his “Live in Las Vegas” residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in February. Following that, Shelton will hit the road with his "Friends and Heroes" tour, which kicks off on February 27 in Lexington, Kentucky, and will feature special guests Craig Morgan, Deana Carter, Trace Adkins, and Emily Ann Roberts.

A Passion for Championing New Talent and Giving Back

Beyond his own music, Shelton has been a driving force in supporting up-and-coming artists. His Ole Red venues—located in Nashville, Tishomingo, Gatlinburg, Orlando, and most recently Las Vegas—provide a premier stage for emerging talent. Shelton’s commitment to fostering the next generation of country stars is a natural extension of his role as a coach on The Voice.

Shelton is also a noted philanthropist, dedicating his time and resources to causes close to his heart. He has helped raise millions of dollars for children’s hospitals, disaster relief organizations, food banks, and his home state of Oklahoma through various charity events. His recent “Oklahoma Is All for the Hall” concert, which raised $750,000 for the Country Music Hall of Fame, featured fellow Oklahomans like Ronnie Dunn and Vince Gill.

The Road Ahead

With a new label behind him and a slate of exciting projects on the horizon, Blake Shelton is entering the next phase of his career with the same passion and energy that has defined him for decades. Fans can expect more hits, more heart, and more of that signature Shelton charm as he continues to be a driving force in both country music and popular culture.

As Shelton himself put it, “I am READY TO GO!” and it’s safe to say that the world is ready to follow him.
