REVIEW: "She's Got a Way With Words" by Blake Shelton

Cover art for Shelton's "She's Got a Way with Words"

It is the third single off Blake Shelton's latest album, If I'm Honest, and it may potentially be his 23rd number one of his career; but it could also be his most controversial single ever released to country radio.

Lets clear the air first. The song is definitely about his ex-wife Miranda Lambert and it is obvious based off of the lyrics, so I would imagine this song does not sit well with fans of Lambert.

In my opinion this song will go down as one of Blake's best songs he has ever recorded. Catchy and contagious are two words I can describe this song.

"She put the her in hurt
She put the why in try
She put the S.O.B. in sober
She put the hang in hangover"

But Shelton doesn't stop there. He continues, and it's great. 

"She put the low in blow
She put a big F.U. in my future"

And...

"Little words like "I" and "do"
Lying, cheating, screwed
Yeah all the words I thought I knew
They got a brand new meaning now"

Listen, no matter what Shelton sings, it will sell and it will go to number one. Country radio and fans love him. There's no denying that. They love him on NBC's The Voice, they loved him hosting the ACM's and they love him on stage performing.
