"Blake is one of the biggest personalities and presences in media," said Jon Loba, President, Frontline Recordings, Americas, BMG.

We are so excited he's joining the BMG Global family and cannot wait to share his incredible new music with the world. He's been laser-focused on delivering some of the best of his career, and it shows. We have been dancing through the office, literally not just figuratively, since we heard the first couple songs he played for us."
"A huge thanks to Jon, Peter, JoJamie, Katie, and the BMG family for being as excited as me about this new chapter we will write together," said Shelton. "I felt their passion and love for music when I met with them, and I knew I was home. I am READY TO GO."
