Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Abi Carter will release a debut single called ‘It’s All Love’ on Friday.

Two of the top female contestants on American Idol Season 22 aren’t promoting the upcoming Hollywood Week episodes right now.

That might be because they’re busy promoting debut singles.

Abi Carter and KB Richins, aka Kaibrienne, will be dropping their first songs on Friday.

Both have posted snippets on Instagram. How do they sound?

Let’s just say fans should be happy with what they hear.

Abi’s song is the upbeat “It’s All Love” and she’s been promoting it with a series of humorous videos on Instagram.

Writes: “I never felt like I could get things right the first time, but at the end of the day, everything you experience in life is all love.”

Don’t know. Sounds to me like she got her debut single right.

Abi, 21, of Indio, Calif., was featured at the very end of Idol’s second audition episode.

The judges were so thrilled with her emotional performance of Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For” that they awarded her with one of the three platinum tickets for Season 22.

Kaibrienne, 20, of Henefer, Utah, was featured in the same episode. I rated her cover of Zach Bryan’s “Something in Orange” as the night’s most impressive audition.

In touching videos on her Instagram, both her mother and father get emotional listening to her new song “Girl I Am Now,” a heartfelt ballad.

Writes Kaibrienne: “I wrote this song as I was reflecting on how much I’d grown over the last year. A year ago, I was in one of the worst places of my life and I truly didn’t think I’d make it out…

“I was so hard on someone who’d been through so much & just needed loved. I can’t believe I’m here, but I couldn’t be more proud of the girl I am now.”

Both songs dropped at midnight.
