After a period of personal and public upheaval, Blake speaks from the heart. If I’m Honest is an unflinching look at love lost and love found, with the country royal tearing through an expertly produced set of devastating ballads (“Bet You Still Think About Me”), plucky pop (“Friends,” which also features on the Angry Birds Movie soundtrack), brave reflection (“She’s Got a Way With Words”), and, of course, brutal honesty (the soaring Gwen Stefani duet “Go Ahead and Break My Heart.”)
