American country music singer-songwriter Blake Shelton premiered a new song “Bible Verses” on Apple Music.
The song will appear on his upcoming 12th studio album “Body Language”, which is set to be released on May 21, 2021.
It was written by Brett Sheroky, Andrew Peebles and Joe Fox.
“One of the best songs [that] I’ve ever recorded as this incredible lyric and something that’s going to hit you in the gut and in the heart when you hear this song, It’s unbelievable.” Blake Shelton said of the song. “I’m constantly looking for a new sound and different subjects to sing about. I think for the most part, the album is very lighthearted and just fun to listen to, There is not a lot of deep thinking songs, expect for at the very end, there’s a song called ‘Bible Verses.'”
“I don’t care where you are when it comes to faith,” he added. “There’s two different ends of the spectrum you can be on but there will be something about this song that you can completely relate to and that’s what I love about it and that’s why it’s such a rare find in not just country music but any genre to have a song this special.”- XjsFN_7_v0s

The album comprises of 12-track, featuring guest appearances from Gwen Stefani and The Swon Brothers.
“Sometimes I record songs because they hit me and I go wow that’s my life or I’ll write a song about my life but for the most part I just like songs that I just don’t get tired of it and sometimes I can’t relate to them at all.,” he explained. “I mean, let’s face it, I never went to jail and had a dog help break me out of prison, you know. My mother is still alive and well, even though I recorded a song called ‘The Baby.’ I look for great country songs and at the end of the day that’s at the end of the day that’s all I care about. I want to sing as best I can and record the best songs I can possibly find and that’s why I’m so proud of this album.”
“We’ve been working on this album on and off for two years now, and I’m very proud of what we have put together,” he said. “We certainly had some unique challenges with the pandemic, but we also had a lot of fun. We explored new sounds while making sure to get in some classic country. I’m also thrilled to have my buddies The Swon Brothers featured on the title track as both co-writers and vocalists. Can’t wait for y’all to hear it!”- source : Apple Music
