Blake Shelton has an immediate reaction to his latest single, “Minimum Wage.”

He said that his producer shared the song with him and he suddenly knew what he wanted his upcoming album to sound like.

“First time I heard ‘Minimum Wage’ I think I was just driving around in my truck. Scott Hendricks had sent me some songs to listen to, and the song just absolutely energized me. I instantly had ideas in my mind of how we were going to make this record, how it was going to be produced, and things I wanted to ask Scott to try to make come to a reality, and he was able to do all that stuff. My favorite thing about the record is the piano intro.”

“Minimum Wage” will be included on Blake’s new album, Body Language, which will be released on May 21st.

The 12-track project will also feature his chart-topping duet, “Happy Anywhere,” featuring Gwen Stefani.
