Michelle‘s last studio album, ‘All Monsters are Human,’ may have been soaked in critical acclaim thanks to its Jazze Pha-produced R&B radio hit, ‘The Rain,’ but most of the promotion for the effort was washed once the award-winning singer unveiled she was hard at work on its Country music follow-up and other business ventures.

With four decades of hitmaking to their credit, Country superstars The Judds are easily one of music history’s most celebrated family acts.

A toast to their enduring legacy came courtesy of the star-studded ‘A Tribute to the Judds,’ delivered to digital streaming services on October 27.

Boasting contributions from the likes of music superstars like Carly Pearce, Dolly Parton, Gabby Barrett, Jennifer Nettles, Le Ann Rimes, Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood, and many more, the project serves as a compilation album of reimagined versions of the legendary duo’s most beloved hits.

Standout tracks undoubtedly came via Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani‘s version of ‘Love is Alive’ (the tribute project’s lead single) as well as award-winning R&B singer K. Michelle‘s ‘Love Can Build a Bridge’ featuring Jelly Roll and the Fisk Jubilee Singers.

“The Judds are one of the greatest country acts of our lifetime. 80s country music is my favorite decade, and I’ve been singing Judd songs for as long as I can remember,” Shelton said in a statement. “‘Love Is Alive’ was on their first album, and we wanted to stick pretty close to the original version, and Gwen just nails the vocal. We’re thrilled to be part of this tribute album.”
