Blake Shelton Releases Duet Video With Ashley Monroe
. For Shelton's latest album Bringing Back the Sunshine, Monroe returned the favor, pairing up with the Oklahoma singer on "Lonely Tonight." The song is Shelton's latest radio single, and the video debuted this week on Amazon, with wider distribution to follow. Written by Brent Anderson and Ryan Hurd, "Lonely Tonight" is a booty-call ballad between two former lovers. In that respect it's similar in theme to Kenny Chesney's 2012 hit "Come Over," though instead of a singular perspective, "Lonely Tonight" expands its scope to include voices from both sides. The main narrative has the lead character (voiced by Shelton) asking his onetime romantic partner (Monroe) if she'd like to hook up for "one last one more time," in order to ease the anguish of being alone - even if it's only a temporary salve. "I know we shouldn't, but I don't care," Monroe sings, showing that the feeling is apparently mutual. "When the sun comes up, we can both move on," they sing on the chorus, "but we don't have to be lonely tonight." Directed by Shaun Silva, the video opens with a sweeping shot of Los Angeles at night. Shelton is shown standing on a hilltop next to his parked pickup, sending his voice off into the dark night and hoping for a swift reply. Monroe is riding in a white limo, dressed to the nines but still, as echoed in her eyes and her aching voice, yearning for a connection that has now been broken. Watch the video here.
