About this listen
In just the last few days, the Blake Shelton news cycle has shifted from country music to Hollywood buzz with a major headline—Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are teaming up as executive producers for a new “Wizard of Oz” series called “Dorothy” for Prime Video. According to reporting from KATU and Deadline, this is a fresh, contemporary, music-infused take on the L. Frank Baum classic, aimed at young adults and meant to echo the challenges of today’s youth by using the Yellow Brick Road as a powerful metaphor. Shelton has said he’s really excited about the show’s possibilities, emphasizing Stefani’s creativity and how perfectly she fits the project. No casting announcements have been made yet—no confirmed roles for Shelton or Stefani themselves—but both are deeply involved behind the scenes and have commented extensively about their inspiration and goals for the series. This project is being positioned as a long-term, high-profile pivot for Shelton outside of his recording and television career, and it’s making headlines on major entertainment outlets.
But Blake isn’t leaving music behind. In the past few days, he’s also been in the social media spotlight for the release of his thirteenth studio album, “For Recreational Use Only.” Blake took to Instagram right after midnight on release day and posted a photo of the album cover and tracklist, writing with trademark enthusiasm, “IT'S HERE PEOPLE!!!! My brand new album ‘For Recreational Use Only’ is out now!!!!” The response from fans has been ecstatic, with terms like “masterpiece,” “album of the year,” and “amazing” flooding the comments. This album features collaborations with Gwen Stefani, Craig Morgan, and John Anderson, as well as singles like “Texas,” “Let Him In Anyway,” and “Stay Country Or Die Tryin’.” Fan reaction on Instagram and TikTok has been a wave of emotional excitement and high praise, signaling another big win for his musical legacy.
Meanwhile, Shelton remains omnipresent on TV and streaming with his executive role on the upcoming CBS competition “The Road,” which is set to debut later this year and will see country newcomers compete for a shot to open for Keith Urban. He’s also still associated with the quirky game show “Barmageddon” and, of course, continues to be mentioned anytime “The Voice” nostalgia makes the rounds, especially in relation to his ongoing partnership with Gwen Stefani. Social media also continues to buzz with sweet throwbacks, like Gwen hopping onto Blake’s lap during “The Voice” semifinals—a reminder that his off-stage chemistry with his wife is a regular part of his public persona.
