There is no doubt in my mind that the anticipation has been building up among Blake Shelton fans eagerly awaiting his new album Bringing Back The Sunshine.  I am predicting that no one will be disappointed after they get their hands on this CD.

I know that's a big, bold statement to make but look at it this way, I'm channeling my inner Blake Shelton.  Bringing Back The Sunshine is in stores tomorrow and I've got a little teaser on each song for you.

The album kicks off with the title track Bringing Back The Sunshine, a fun upbeat tune that is a little different from most of my favorite Blake Shelton tunes.  It's about reconnecting with the person you love and bringing back the sunshine in to your life. I'm a fan of this because it's so different and I think it will make a unique summer anthem that shies away from drinking in your truck under the stars.  No cliches here!

Neon Light is easily one of my favorite songs on the radio.  Blake has mentioned he wants to get back to the roots of traditional country.  This is a country song if I've ever heard one.  So often we hear heartbreak songs from female singers who want to get even with their former lover, I love that Blake is going to wash it down with a 'cold screw you.'

 

 

Lonely Tonight is one of the best songs on this album.  Ashley Monroe joins Blake on this tune and again, I think it's very different than anything we've heard from Blake in the past.  It's kind of the flip side of Bringing Back The Sunshine in that the couple is getting together for one more last time.

I knew I was really gonna like Gonna.  Okay bad joke, but this is just a fun little tune about being in love.  It's so Blake and I'd love to ask Miranda if this is how he got together with her.

A Girl is easily the cutest song on the album.  It describes everything he's learned from a girl -- how to act like you're listening and when to shut you're mouth.  I think this would be a #1 for him if he decides to release it.

Sangria is a pretty steamy tune and I love it.  We don't normally hear this kind of tune about alcohol from Blake but it fits him well and I see this one becoming a great live performance.

Buzzin' is a reminiscent of Boys 'Round Here and has always been a favorite of mine. It's a fun tune to sing along with.  It's got a great amount of country twang and I can totally see Blake on his porch, feet up, singing this song.

Another great love song is Just South Heaven.  His voice is filled with emotion when he sings this one, you can really tell it means something to him.  I imagine it might have something to do with Miranda.  LOVE!

I Need My Girl is another great love song about skipping out on time with the guys and partying to hang with his girl.  I'm pretty certain I'm in love with that song.

Everything we love about country music is summed up in Good Country Song.  He name drops some of the best legendary artists and he describes what a good country song does for us.

I feel as though Anyone Else calls out his haters in the most polite way possible. Maybe I'm being too specific on that but either way, it's a great song that makes you think about bringing people down and what it does to their spirit.

Just Gettin' Started brings out the Blake we all know and love.  This will another one that will be popular at parties and live shows.  It's a rockin' song with traditional country lyrics.

I would say this is Blake Shelton's best album ever.  He has so many great songs but this compilation just blows me away.  There is such a good mixture of music that I really feel can be traced back to the roots of country.  I vote this as being one of the best albums of 2014 and I'm also voting for Blake for Congress.  This guy knows how to make things happen!  I recommend you walk, no run, to the store and get your hands on Bringing Back The Sunshine.  You won't regret it!
