Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Alisan Porter released her first album Friday since winning Season 10 of The Voice.

Her resulting record deal with Republic Records yielded nothing — not an album, not an EP, not even a single.

She was supposed to be a cast member for The Voice Neon Dreams in Vegas, but the plug was pulled on that show before a single performance.

Now, three full years after her Voice victory, Alisan has released her post-show debut album, a nine-song independent country collection called “Pink Cloud.”

And she woke up Friday morning to find “Pink Cloud” at number 16 on the iTunes country albums chart, right between Maren Morris and Kacey Musgraves, an image she posted on Instagram.

“If nothing else this picture shows me that believing and trusting this process has paid off,” Alisan wrote. “@marenmorris and @spaceykacey, your music woke me up, got me going and made me WANT to be better.

“I listened and remember that I could tell my stories too. I’m so grateful for this silly moment because it’s my dream becoming reality. I’d like to stay in this company for a long time.”

Alisan recorded “Pink Cloud” in Nashville, working with producer Matt Rollings, her collaborator on her 2014 pre-Voice album “Who We Are.”

Highlights among the nine tracks include the catchy and raucous new single “Wild Ones” and Alisan’s brilliant and soulful vocal on “You Feel Like a Drug.”

In an interview with Nashville Gab earlier this year, Alisan described “Pink Cloud” as an album about love. Remember, pre-Voice Alisan was most remembered as a child star from the movie “Curly Sue.’

“It’s a record about regaining happiness and re-finding yourself and knowing exactly who you are and not allowing anything or anyone to come in front of that,” she told the site. “It’s a record about freedom and it needs to be heard.

“These are the things we all need to remember in life and these are the things we all need to connect to, and I feel like . . . you never look away from a pink cloud. You have to notice it. You have to take a picture of it … and that’s how I feel about this record. It’s undeniable.”

Alisan had an album release show Friday in Nashville. She’s planning another at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood Tuesday night.
