Sure Be Cool If You Did by Blake Shelton

The much anticipated first single from the next Blake Shelton is out. The country superstar has been extremely busy the last year. He’s on a hit TV show and he’s been attending and hosting various award shows all while taping his first Christmas special and releasing his first Christmas album.

That’s busy.

It’s a New Year now and Blake isn’t slowing down. He’s back in the studio preparing fresh music and the first release is a modern country love song.

Sure Be Cool If You Did – Blake Shelton

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out my own tastes in music. Mostly I like the country sound of the late ’80s and early to mid ’90s, but I also love the modern sounds of country from the ’00s. I’m talking about Rascal Flatts and Phil Vassar. I had both of the debut albums from those two acts – two of the albums that ushered in a new sound in modern country music. It was pop sounding and it continued into today.

Blake has had a classic country voice for much of his career and he still does, but it’s also obvious he can make a great pop record. The evidence is in a few of his singles over the years and he goes back there with this track.

From what I can tell the song is about a couple that’s falling in love. The guy in the song is falling. We’re not sure if the girl is, but I think that’s the point of the song. The guy is putting himself out there and hoping with everything he has that the girl will just give him a chance.

What do you think.

Is she going to give him a chance?
