[metaslider id=”105089″]

New post-Voice music out includes an album from Payge Turner and singles from Jason Warrior, Ali Caldwell, and Mark Isaiah.

Here’s a bit about each of those releases.

The links take you to the music on Apple Music.

* Payge Turner, from Season 19, released her debut album “Home” recently. The album features nine songs; standout tracks include the haunting “Aftermath,” the raucous “Old Religion” and “Goodbye,” which features a vocal assist from Season 19 colleague Lauren Frihauf. Says Payge of the album: “This is my gift from my heart strings to you. A taste of the inner pieces of me. And the many hard journeys I’ve faced. But it’s also a reminder, no matter how many times someone tells you can’t do something, you prove them wrong by just EXISTING.”

* Jason Warrior, from American Idol Season 19 and The Voice Season 11, released “Let’s Go” on Friday. It’s his first single since his appearance on Idol. Jason finished Top 20 on The Voice in Season 11, then held a chair for three weeks during a disastrous stint on Season 1 of The Four on FOX. He wound up auditioning for Idol at age 26, apologized for how he acted on The Four and made it to the Top 24. He says “Let’s Go” “a new piece of myself I’ve been holding in for some time now.”

* Ali Caldwell, Top 6 on The Voice Season 11, released “Trouble Town,” a song about a “troubled girl” in a “trouble town” on Friday. Ali was also a standout on Season 2 of The Four on Fox and wrote the song with Omar ‘O2’ White. You can check out a performance video of the single on YouTube. This marks Ali’s first single since dropping her debut album, “88”, last August.

* Mark Isaiah, Top 10 on Season 12, released “Vibes,” a song about living the pop star lifestyle. It follows “Care for Me” as the second single in two months from the 24-year-old, who promised to step up his musical output after taking a break to deal with “changes and challenges going on in my life.” “Care for Me” was his first single in more than a year.
