Adam Pearce has released a rarity for former Voice contestants, a post-show album with a classic rock feel. Of course, what else would you expect from a guy who covered Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” and Nazareth’s “Love Hurts” en route to a Top 20 finish in Season 13? “Warbird,” an album featuring…
Former The Voice standout Kristen Merlin has released the music video for her new single, “Don’t Call It a Comeback.” In the song, comeback is used in a romantic sense.
