On last night’s The Voice, coach Blake Shelton revealed the cover of his upcoming album titled, If I’m Honest, set to be released on May 20. The country singer told host Carson Daly that he’s really excited about the upcoming record and that it’s his best work yet. “I think it’s the best I can do,” he told Carson excitedly, “I literally think it’s the best I can do!” Blake will be kicking off a tour this fall with a couple of dates in Oklahoma City.
Deb B has put together a track list with songwriting credits over on her Tumblr. Earlier today, former The Voice coach and Blake gal pal, Gwen Stefani confirmed on Twitter a duet with Blake titled “Go Ahead and Break My Heart” appears on the album.
The songwriting credits are partial at this point. Updates will be added.
