Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Season 17 of The Voice hasn’t even ended yet and three more eliminated contestants already have new singles out.

That includes Elise Azkoul, Caroline Reilly and Jack Bridges. They join Cory Jackson, Matt New and Steve Knill, whose releases I already reported on.

Here’s a look at those releases. The links take you to the songs on Apple Music. You can also check out the Spotify snippets below.

* Zach Bridges has released his promised post-Voice single, “To My Baby Girl,” dedicated to the daughter he and his wife are expecting. Zach told Voice Views he considers it the best song he’s written yet, explaining that he wrote it “as a letter to my baby girl before she comes into this crazy world! All the things I want her to know, and things I’ve learned in life that I think she will find helpful along the way.” Zach, 28, when he auditiond, made it to the knockout round on The Voice.

* Caroline Reilly recently released her debut single “With Me.” It’s a bit more poppy than fans might expect given her rocker vibe on the show, Caroline admits, “but it’s what I was feeling when I wrote it.” It’s also quite good and quite catchy and has a matching music video.

* Elise Azkoul dropped a new song called “Sweet Soul” last week, and if this is a sample of the type of music we’ll get on her upcoming debut album, fans are in for a treat. Since The Voice, Elise has also played a homecoming show in Grand Rapids, Mich. “Sweet Soul” follows “Coffee Baby” as the second single from Elise, who was 28 when she auditioned for the show.
