Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Not all the music released recently by former contestants from The Voice has been holiday oriented.

New singles are out from recent Voice contestants Cami Clune, Pete Mroz and Connor Christian.

Here’s a bit more about each of those releases. The links take you to the songs on Apple Music.

Cami Clune from The Voice Season 19

* Cami Clune, Top 9 from Season 19, released “Old at 20” on Christmas eve. Cami was 20 when she auditioned for the show and says it’s a song she started to write while in L.A. for The Voice. “In this business, you kind of feel like if you haven’t accomplished everything you wanted to accomplish by age 20, you’ve failed,” she explains on social media. “hen I was writing it, I was like, ‘This is probably so stupid. No one is going to relate to this.’ But I’ve had so many people say they relate to it, so I really hope that people realize they’re not alone in this.” Cami’s previous 2021 releases were covers of “I Put a Spell on You” and “Skinny Love.”

Pete Mroz from The Voice Season 20

* Pete Mroz from Season 20 recently released the single, “I Believe It.” It’s an uplifting song written by Ronnie Bowman and Larry McCoy. You might recall that Pete is the contestant who used to belong to a songwriters’ group that included Blake Shelton. The new song is produced by Rob Byus, Blake’s bass player. And on Jan. 15, Pete will be performing a show at Blake’s Ole Red in Tishomingo, Okla. The show will also include the Season 21 trio The Joy Reunion. “I Believe It” follows “Always Been You” as Pete’s second original of 2021.

Connor Christian from The Voice Season 20

* Connor Christian from Season 20 recently released “Lovin’ You.” Season 20 colleague Keegan Ferrell produced the track. You can head here to check out a live version from when Connor opened for another Voice standout, Red Marlowe, at the Pike County Fair. The single marked Connor’s second of 2021. The Ohio native released “Say” back in July.
