Blake Shelton: ‘I Just Want To Make Music And Perform It’
Blake Shelton has been in the music industry for over twenty years now and he’s seen the times change. We interviewed him not long ago, and he talked about fans buying his music and he is fine with however they do it these days.
Blake told me, “I don’t care how people buy music as long as they’re interested enough to buy it.” (Boring music business stuff) I just want to make music, and perform it, and write it. It doesn’t make me or break me as far as how people get their hands on it as long as they want it is all I care about cause I know they will find a way to get it.”
He added, “There’s an old saying that used to go around Nashville, and I hated it. God, I hated it. I don’t hear it much anymore, but I used to hear these old guys that used to be in powder say, people don’t know what they like they like what they know, and they’re gonna buy whatever we release. I thought that was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”

Shelton revealed in a recent interview what his album plans are as he recently released a new song called “Texas.” He said, “I bet you next month (January), I’ll know when the album date is gonna be.”
As Blake shares, the project depends on what his new song does on country radio. He noted that the “truth is” his new record label will “probably gonna wait” and see what happens with this song. He added that then “they’ll probably start the clock.”
As for his recording career, it will last for quite a while. He said, “I’ll tell ya this. I have some things cut, but I’m gonna keep recording until they tell me time’s up.”
