Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Blake Shelton and Warner Music Nashville had one of the longest-surviving artist/label relationships in the business, going back more than two decades, but it’s over now, as the singer and the company jointly announced Tuesday that they are “amicably parting ways.” Shelton’s first album with Warner’s Nashville division was his sophomore release “The Dreamer,” which came out in early 2003, following an earlier debut on the Giant label. His last full album for the label, “Body Language,” came out more than three years ago, in May 2021.
Blake Tollison Shelton (born June 18, 1976) is an American country music singer and television personality. In 2001, he made his debut with the single "Austin". The lead-off single from his self-titled debut album, "Austin" spent five weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The now Platinum-certified debut album also produced two more top 20 entries ("All Over Me" and "Ol' Red").
