Speaking virtually with Access along with Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, Shelton explained, "the battle rounds are literally, you know, two artists coming together and making music, singing basically a duet. We call it a battle but it’s a duet. And these two are obviously, I have to talk about their career, it’s completely exploded.”

“But the way they come together and vocalize together and make music, I thought that would be a great mentor to have these two because so many times, I’m sitting here in a situation in these battle rehearsals and one of the artists will ask me a question about harmony and I don’t know crap about harmony,” Shelton humbly admitted.
“I would be like, ‘Oh yeah, I will check on that for you,’ and I never do because I don’t know anything about harmony. Finally, this season, I’ve got Dan + Shay here and they kill it and they’re natural at it and honestly, it’s already come into play a couple of times and it’s helpful to have them here.”

As for the award-winning duo, they're thrilled to be working once again with Blake, who took them along as the opening act on his 2014 Ten Times Crazier Tour.
"Blake’s the best, man," Smyers said. "We’re huge fans of Blake’s music. He took us out on literally our first tour. I don’t even think we had a hit on the radio at that point. He took a chance on us… Blake, as successful as he is, is the most down-to-earth, humble dude out there, just an incredible role model. It's an honor to be part of his team this year."
Glee star Darren Criss will serve as "Battle Advisor" to coach Nick Jonas while singer-songwriter Luis Fonsi will assist Kelly Clarkson, and R&B icon Brandy will be advising John Legend.
The 20th season of The Voice premieres Monday, March 1 on NBC.
