Buble will be serving as a guest mentor on country singer Blake Shelton’s team, NBC announced. The soulful crooner has won three Grammys in his career, and sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.
As mentors, both Blige and Buble will meet with contestants and give them tips before their performances. NBC has yet to announce the mentors for Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera‘s teams, so several other big names in music could possibly drop by the show in the upcoming season.
Previous mentors on The Voice have included Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, Alanis Morissette and Robin Thicke.
The third season of The Voice premieres on Sept. 10 on NBC.
