Here’s a bit about each of those releases.

The links take you to the songs on Apple Music.

Each also has a music video you can check out by following those links.

* Amanda Ayala from Season 9 has released a song called “Seventeen.” Coincidentally, Amanda, now 23, was 17 when she auditioned for The Voice. But the song is more of a nostalgic look back at one’s teenage years. “When people listen to this track I truly hope it takes them back to that age, where they can reminisce on the simpler days when life was just carefree and abundant with those butterfly feelings,” she says. There’s a music video too, which Amanda directed!

* Britton Buchanan, the runner-up, from Season 14, released “Say the Word,” a song about awaiting a sign from the other half about which way a relationship is heading. Britton wrote the song with Derek Fuhrmann, Jason Saenz and Ian Walsh. It’s already his sixth single of 2021. There’s a music video too, featuring choreography directed by Alexis Carra Girbés and Cedric Dodd, the dancing of Myranda Gibson and body paint by Kelsea Rae.

* RADHA, from Season 15, released “Summer Rush” on Friday. It too has an accompanying music video, directed by Steven Darius and shot in Asbury Park, N.J. It follows “Hunnit” as RADHA’s second release of 2021. She also recently celebrated her graduation from Montclair with a bachelor’s degree (with honors) in arts, TV and digital media.
