Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Release Heartwarming Cover of The Judds’ ‘Love Is Alive’

You can feel the love on Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s latest single. 

The music power couple teamed up to cover The Judds’ ”Love Is Alive” for an upcoming album in honor of the iconic mother-daughter country duo, A Tribute to The Judds. 

The pop star, 53, and country star, 47, honor the original song off The Judds’ 1984 hit album Why Not Me on their version of the track, while still giving it their own pop-country twist. Stefani’s stunning vocals take the lead, while her husband joins her to harmonize on the heartwarming chorus, uniting to sing, “Love is alive / And at our breakfast table / Every day of the week / Love is alive / And it grows everyday and night / Even in our sleep.” 

The song was also able to retain its classic country charm, thanks to producer Brent Maher who reproduced the track, according to a press release.
