Over the past week, Blake Shelton has steadily given fans a taste of his upcoming 11th studio album, Texoma Shore, by performing new tracks “At the House” on The Tonight Show and “I Lived It” on Today.
The party continued today (Nov. 1) as Blake shared “Turnin’ Me On,” a sultry track he co-penned with Jessi Alexander and Josh Osborne.
“We’re sitting on my bus one day earlier in 2017 and I think I was in Baton Rouge,” said Blake. “I was up there alone and I had my guitar, started playing a little melody that I was hearing in my head and next thing you know I started writing a song. I wrote a verse, then I wrote a chorus, then I realized it was going somewhere and I felt good about it. Like I always [have] in the last couple of years I called up my friend Jessi Alexander and said, ‘Man, I think I’m onto something and I need somebody way better than me to try to bring this thing home.’ She and I and Josh Osborne ended up writing this song, I’m super proud of it – and it’s not hard to figure out who this song is about.”
Texoma Shore drops on Nov. 3 and is available for pre-order now.
