Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Recent post-Voice releases include songs from Brynn Cartelli, Grant Ganzer and Mendeleyev.

Brynn Cartelli from The Voice Season 14

Brynn Cartelli, the Season 14 champ at age 15, recently dropped a new single called “Girl Code.” It’s about being attracted to a guy, but not wanting to steal him from a friend. That said, it’s also about the night she met her boyfriend. Says Brynn, now 19 and New York-based: “I can’t help but write revealing songs about my life, ‘Girl Code’ is a spilled secret about one of my favorite nights in New York City so far.” Brynn spent much of the summer on tour as an opener for OneRepublic and Needtobreathe. Here’s the lyric video for “Girl Code.”

Mendeleyev from Season 17 released a single last month called “Running Man.” Says the singer: “I wanted to combine retro 80’s rock with EDM … so I did.” Congrats also go out to Mendeleyev for recently receiving his master’s degree from Berklee New York City as part of its inaugural Class of 2022. “Running Man is his first release of 2022, but follows a 2021 in which he released both a pop album and a folk album.
