Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Release day is always a big one for musicians.

This has been a release day Colton Dixon won’t soon forgot.

He began it by releasing a pair of EPs — “Calm” and “Storm.”

Then he apparently went to Disneyworld and got engaged.

Late this afternoon, the former Idol standout sent out this tweet: “She said yes!!!!!! ‪#‎disneyworld‬ ‪#‎bestdayever‬ ‪#‎icried‬ ‪#‎shedidnt‬.”

The tweet was accompanied by a photo of him standing with a lovely young woman, her ring finger on display.

She is @AnnieCog on Twitter, short for Annie Coggeshall.

Her tweet at about the same time: “I had NO idea!!! He’s the BEST It was perfect.”

Congratulations for the couple have been pouring in ever since on Colton’s Facebook page.

I was checking on Colton because while the EPs — mostly reworkings of already released songs — hit iTunes this morning, the combo offer — “Calm Before the Storm” — wasn’t on the site.

The answer to that little mystery is also answered on Colton’s Facebook page.

“Calm Before the Storm,” including all the songs from both EPs, is available as a physical CD at LifeWay Christian Resources, Mardel, Family Christian, Amazon Music
and Walmart.
