Blake Shelton Has His ‘Voice’ And A New Album

Blake Shelton is all over the place-and that's a good thing!  After a great stint co-hosting the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards with Reba McEntire, Blake is making a return to television tonight on NBC's heavily promoted new show, The Voice. He joins Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine, as they compete to mentor and coach new vocal talent.  Will you be watching?

Blake has also just announced the release date for his ninth studio album.  It doesn't have a title yet, but the new record, which will include Blake's new single,(his fastest-rising to date)Honey Bee, will be available July 12th.

Talking about the new album, Blake shares, "There are so many things I'm excited to share with everyone this year.  I can't wait for people to hear the record; I have found some of the best songs of my career.  I also think people will be surprised at all the talent they will see on The Voice. There were so many great vocalists who just blew me away and it has been the coolest thing to be part of it all."

Honey Bee in case you're interested, sold over 138,000 digital singles--an accomplishment so far unrivaled by any other solo male country artist.

Oh yeah, and he just happens to be getting hitched to the love of his life, Miranda Lambert, on May 14th.  What's next, a shuttle mission--he'd better hurry!
