That, I like! I'm glad Blake is going back to a vintage Blake feel. It sounds new but old.

I think this song is one of Blake's best singles and one of my favorites so I'm glad they made a video for this even just live video. He rarely do videos now. Surprisingly, since I'm not a Blake fan (I've only bought one single, Hillbilly Bone and one album at an Amazon Christmas sale)-I agree. His latest fare the past few years seems very AC to me and boring-although I am impressed by his ability to put out so many consistent ear worm songs. But I heard this on air and stopped to listened, turned it up- this sounds country to me and quite pleasing to my ear. Very nice. |

GREAT song. Hope it's released so Ashley can get some mainstream airplay. |

I seem to buy Blake's albums out of habit and for the occasional gem on each one. This time I'm actually excited to get it based on the songs we've heard so far. He and Ashley sound great together on Lonely Tonight.

Oh wow, that duet with Ashley Monroe is as good as I'd hoped it would be! If the rest of the album is half as good, this might just be my first Blake Shelton CD purchase. I'm really impressed with "Lonely Tonight" and I have my fingers crossed that it's a single because that would be incredible to hear on the radio, and anything to get Ashley Monroe mainstream airplay would be just lovely.

I feel like (and, if I'm being honest, probably am) such a grump when it comes to Blake's music in the past few years, but gosh, listening to "Lonely Tonight," I keep getting stuck on how monochromatic his delivery is in studio. Ashley Monroe makes this song -- the ache in her voice is palpable, whereas I don't hear anywhere near the need in Blake's voice to match the yearning in the lyrics (which aren't exceptional, but at least gives a clear point of view). The frustrating thing is that I'm totally convinced that over time and several performances, Blake will deliver a more lived-in and emotionally credible vocal on "Lonely Tonight." So maybe my argument is mainly with producer Scott Hendricks, the polish he slathers on the recordings (the way he irons out Blake's voice here is beyond annoying), and what he is drawing out of Blake in studio. These tracks make me wonder: is Blake is just knocking out vocally strong performances (because he does have a very strong voice) and Hendricks is content with that, is Blake is so busy with other commitments that he doesn't put much time in studio? Having vented, I'm still feeling better about the orientation of Bringing Back the Sunshine than I have Blake's past couple of albums, and what we've heard so far gives me hope for an album I may like as much as 2008's Pure BS. And between the more-rhythmic-than-melodic verses and the juxtaposition of Ashley's catchy, rapid response against Blake's more drawn-out call, "Lonely Tonight" does sound like a hit made for today's country radio. As Markus Meyer and .indulgecountry say, it would be great to hear Ashley on mainstream country radio. |

This has grown on me so much. The scratchy high notes he hits in the chorus no longer bother me and that part of the song keeps getting stuck in my head. I'm really loving this one a lot right now.  And these teasers are keeping me optimistic about the album. They all sound pretty good from the small clips. |

You can actually already listen to all the teasers for the album on the Playlist on his Youtube-Vevo page. They are just unlisted right now so it does not appear on the videos list but can be played already.

So far I've liked every teaser better than "Neon Light". I'm actually starting to get excited for this new Blake Shelton era, it sounds much better than his last album.

YouTube search reveals about an hour long video with the whole album. Oddly enough there was like 3 comments saying "Please remove for Blake's sake". Oh well, I'm holding off, if it was Aldean's I'd be all over that haha. |

I didn't even know that the album had a release date yet, let alone was being released lol. It'll be interesting to see the album's performance over the next year.

Is it a coincidence that the album leaked and a new season of The Voice starts tonight? I wonder.

I listened to it.. This is the Blake Shelton I want to hear! Fantastic record. From uptempos to the ballads...all are quality. "Sangria" in my mind has a Brooks & Dunn type of vibe ( at least when it comes to the Southwestern influenced material). Also love the title track, South Side of Heaven, Anyone Else, & Just Gettin' Started.

Sangria was not a bad song, but Buzzin', oh my god. I hope that's the only song like it on the album, I haven't heard the whole thing so maybe someone can tell me?
