Review

Released in 2016, "If I'm Honest" finds Blake Shelton navigating some pretty big life changes, and you can hear every bit of that journey in these songs. The timing couldn’t have been more personal—his divorce and starting something new with Gwen Stefani directly shape the album’s themes of heartbreak and hope. There’s something honest and relatable in tracks like "Go Ahead and Break My Heart," where Shelton teams up with Stefani herself, letting listeners peek into their budding romance through the music.

Shelton’s storytelling shines the brightest on this album. From the toe-tapping tempo of songs like "Friends" (a fun addition to the Angry Birds Movie soundtrack) to the wry, sharp-tongued "She's Got a Way with Words," he moves deftly between emotional vulnerability and that classic country wit. "If I'm Honest" carries the steady, grounded sound that’s made Shelton a favorite for years, but there's a special warmth here—like getting advice from a friend who’s been through a lot and come out the other side with a smile. - Megan
