The countdown to season 4 of The Voice is officially on!

Joining the existing cast, new coaches Usher and Shakira show that they mean business in this newly released promo snap for the NBC show, which returns in March.

As reported, the dynamic duo replace departing judges Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green who are taking a leave of absence from the series – which now airs twice yearly (Spring and Fall cycles). Both Aguilera and Green are expected back for this year’s latter season. Although, with so little being guaranteed in this industry, it’d arguably be better to first see them back in their seats before taking their pencilled-in returns at face value. Put simply, we’ll believe it when we see it!
