Jelly Roll delivered a strong message for the season finale The voice Tuesday (May 21), debuting a vulnerable new song titled “I Am Not OK” from his upcoming album.
Shrouded in fog, the country star took center stage to give the unreleased ballad its world premiere on the season 25 finale of the singing series, which also featured Lainey Wilson, Kate Hudson, The Black Keys, Muni Long, Thomas Rhett . and more.
“I'm not okay, I'm barely making it/I'm losing track of the days, I'm losing sleep at night,” he sang over soft acoustic guitars, an occasional raspiness punctuating his voice. “I know I can't be the only one holding on for dear life/ But I know God knows, when it's all said and done/ I'm not well, but it's all going to be alright.”
The new song is set to appear on Jelly's upcoming album, which will follow in 2023 Whitsitt Chapel. Featuring the hit single “Need a Favor” and the Wilson collaboration “Save Me,” the 13-track LP reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 last year.
The Voice The season finale also saw contestant Asher HaVon take the crown on Tuesday night, securing a win for Reba McEntire's team. The latest episode of the hit singing competition series also featured Chance the Rapper, Dan + Shay and John Legend as coaches.
Although a new era is upon us for Jelly, the “Son of a Sinner” singer is still fresh off a successful awards season thanks to Whitsitt Chapel. Most recently, he and Wilson won Music Event of the Year at the 2024 ACM Awards, where he also premiered another unreleased song called “Liar.”
