Album Review: Blake Shelton - If I'm Honest

Aneta Grulichova

"The listeners can feel his heartbreak."

More Blake Shelton Blake Shelton

After four years of marriage ending in divorce, and now falling in love again, Blake Shelton channels his emotions into words.

He expresses his frustration into songs like She's Got A Way With Words and Every Time I Hear That Song; the listeners can feel his heartbreak. Go Ahead & Break My Heart featuring girlfriend Gwen Stefani is beautiful as they are both emotionally invested in the song lyrically, but vocally they are opposites, making it feel a little disconnected. Blake Shelton takes his heartbreak and turns it into beautiful songs that are honest and raw, creating a wonderful album.
