* Abby Celso from Season 10 has released a catchy and fun new single called “Dumb,” about a woman who’s so taken with a man that she’s ready to be “dumb” for him again, hoping, likely in vain, that his feelings catch up with hers. “I loved watching this song come to life and I am so so excited that it’s finally out there,” writes Abby on Instagram. Abby also teamed up with Nick Warner and Frank Moschetto to release a single called “Feels” earlier this year.

* Jeffery Austin, a finalist on Season 9, released “Break,” his first single in nearly two years, last week. Wrote Jeffery the night before the song dropped: “New song out tonight at midnight! Anyone else staying up unreasonably late on a Tuesday because they have nothing to live for? Because that’s the perfect vibe of this song.” Oh, and T-shirts like the one Jeffery is wearing in the photo above are being sold by GeoMetro to provide financial relief to “out-of-work musicians and music workers during this crazy time.”

* Elia Esparza from Season 11 lends her sensual vocals to a new single “We Could Be” that came out Friday. It’s the first single of 2020 for the young lady from El Paso, who appeared on the Spanish-language “La Voz” prior to The Voice. “I hope to keep releasing more and more music soon,” writes Elia, who dropped three singles last year.
