2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

In the latest “Gwake” news, the musical power couple (Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani) are expected to release a duet together on Blake’s upcoming album. If you are a “Gwake” fan, you may already know that the duo collaborated (before they were “official”) on writing (NOT recording) a mid-tempo ballad “telling a lover to leave the relationship if that is what they truly want.” But is there an audience for California ska/rock AND new country?

The unlikely couple have been a perfect match in the studio. As an insider told People, “Both of them share a passion for music and have lately been very busy in the studio. They seem very supportive of each other’s careers.” So, what are we thinking here? I am not a country fan, but Blake is an artist I’ll listen to on the radio. Gwen gets goodwill credits because my life is accompanied by a constant loop of “Make Me Like You.” This might actually be decent.

Meanwhile there’s news that Blake’s new single is about Gwen, because of course it is. We already know that “Make Me Like You” is about Blake, Gwen has admitted it, and now Blake has “Came Here To Forget” out. It’s about two people getting over a breakup by getting drunk and falling in love. As outlets are reporting, it’s obviously autobiographical and the theme of the song is “not subtle.” Blake has said that “I don’t think I’ve ever had a song that’s such a direct look into my life.” What about that song about burning watermelon candles and making margaritas for Miranda Lambert?

“Came Here to Forget” debuted at number 1 on the iTunes country charts and Gwen seems pretty proud of that. She posted this screenshot to Instagram.
