Blake Shelton is holding nothing back on his next album.

“I’ve written more than I’ve written in 15 years, for obvious reasons — all the awful things that have happened in my personal life — but the way the year ended is also the greatest of my life,” he told Country Countdown USA.

While there’s no title or release date, he says he hopes a new song will be on the radio soon with the entire album available in May.

“I want to get it out there,” he says. “It’s driving me nuts to not be already into that project because it’s all I’m thinking about.”

He continues, “I never felt more connected to a record before. When people hear this record, they may not know what happened to me, but they’re gonna know how I felt about it. And that’s exciting for me, to just lay it out there for people.”
