Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Christina Grimmie, a Season 6 standout from The Voice has a new single.

And it sounds like we’ll be getting more new music from the 21-year-old before 2015 ends.

The new song is called “Shrug” and sounds very Maroon 5-ish. You can check out the official audio below.

Christina performed the song on KTLA-TV late last week and described the song this way.

“It’s kind of like ‘forget everyone that’s judging you,'” she said. “I tend to want to give my viewers that attitude of be yourself, do your thing. And as cliche as that is, I don’t want to dumb that down. I think it’s so important. People lose that a lot today.”

As for the other new music, Christina says she’s working on a new album that will likely be released later this year. And she says the music on it will be a little bit of everything.

““When I write music, I know a lot of artists like Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran tend to write from personal experience. I write from personal experience, of course, but I don’t limit myself to that. In this album I’ve done a lot of vicarious writing. I like to channel other people and other people’s experiences,” Christina told the Intenational Business Times in a story you can read here. “I feel like there’s only so much you could get out of personal experience, but when you write vicariously through other people, you can get into a lot more.”

Christina, of course, finished third on Season 6 of The Voice behind Josh Kaufman and Jake Worthington.

Fans have continued to support her since the show. In fact, she was Macy’s iHeart Radio Rising Star earlier this year, which means she’ll get to kick off the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas in September in one of her biggest performances to date.
