Blake Shelton<\/a> has embraced life away from the “hamster wheel”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Blake Shelton is focused on his music again<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old singer left TV show ‘The Voice’ after 12 years as a coach in 2023 and explained that he is being selective over which projects he takes on next as he is enjoying a more sedate pace of living.<\/p>\n

Blake, who is married to pop star Gwen Stefani<\/a>, told People: “The last couple of years, especially since I’ve retired from ‘The Voice’, I’ve just kind of been trying to be very mindful of the next thing that I do, be thoughtful about it and be sure that I’m not just doing things because I’m on the hamster wheel.<\/p>\n

“It happens, and before you know it, you go, ‘My God, where have the last 10 years gone?'”<\/p>\n

Shelton admits that the “big changes” in his career – which saw him leave record label Warner Music Nashville after 25 years to join BMG – have rekindled his passion for country music and resulted in his new single ‘Texas’.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: “It was just time for a new chapter, honestly. And I’m ready for it.<\/p>\n

\n“When we just started down this road, this song just jumped out to me. There was something familiar about it – and the something that felt like a step forward at the same time.<\/p>\n

\n“It’s always in the back of my mind: What’s something I haven’t done that’s not going to make people go, ‘What does he think he’s doing?'”<\/p>\n

\nShelton is “grateful” for his time on ‘The Voice’ but wants to be regarded a country singer rather than a TV star.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: “I really, and I mean really indulged in not being on a television show anymore.<\/p>\n

\n“It’s just been great for me to get back in the mode of, ‘Hey, I’m a country singer first.’ That’s what I left Ada, Oklahoma when I was a teenager to go be. I never want to get that far away from what I feel like I’m meant to do ever again.”<\/p>\n
