Shortly after the coaches' announcement, Blake took to Instagram to reveal that The Voice season 23 will be his last season as a coach on The Voice. In the post, he explained that "it's time for me to step away from The Voice after next season."

Even though The Voice season 22 is in full swing, it's hard not to be excited about the coaching lineup for next spring. Chance brings a new perspective as the first rapper to be on The Voice, and it should attract different types of artists, as The Voice hasn't showcased the hip-hop genre much in its history. Niall brings a multi-faceted perspective, being a member of a boy band and then branching out into a very successful solo career. Kelly and Blake always provide the laughs and the ion for the artists, so The Voice season 23 has the potential to be a great season.

The Voice is entering a new era, and it will be interesting to see how it adapts to this major change, but the coaches for The Voice season 23 seem like a strong start.
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on NBC.
