He understands that he has to do a job, but sometimes it just get a bit too much. When that happens, he chooses to prioritise his mental health over his pocket and takes a break from the spotlight.
Shelton was at the peak of his career when he suffered from his mild depression, as he recalls. He says he burned out because he did not listen to his body and overworked himself when he was still a presenter on MTV Base. Although the break was a much needed one, he says on the other hand it came with challenges, especially with having to reintroduce himself to fans.
Using his romantic relationship of over 10 years as an inspiration to write his recent song, Over Us, he admits it has not always been red roses. He says he used his truth to write lyrics of his masterpiece, in which he features Fifi Cooper.
