She expressed her belief that collaborating with Shelton was essential to her new venture into the country music scene, leading to the development of their duet “New Country.” In addition to Shelton, Cyrus will also include a special country element in her album with a song titled “With You,” written by her father Billy Ray Cyrus, marking its first official release.
The unveiling of I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me is set for July 11, and fans eagerly await Cyrus’ transformation into a country artist. This shift is part of a trend in the music industry where artists from different genres, such as hip-hop and R&B, take a chance at exploring the country music landscape. From mildly curious to fully committed, these crossovers showcase the diversity and creativity present in the music world.
Overall, Noah Cyrus’ transition into country music with the support of Blake Shelton sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in her career. With the release of “New Country” and her upcoming album, listeners can expect a refreshing blend of genres and a unique musical experience that showcases Cyrus’ artistic growth and evolution.
