Idol Chatter & Voice Views

[metaslider id=”100467″]

New post-Voice music out this week includes country singles from Emily Ann Roberts, Zach Bridges and the Mikele Buck Band.

Here’s a bit about each of those releases.

The links take you to the songs on Apple Music. Or you can check out the Spotify snippets below.

* Emily Ann Roberts, Season 9 runner-up, released “Change My Tune” on Friday. It’s a fun country song with a classic country sound and finds Emily proclaiming she won’t be changing her tune as a needle falls on her black vinyl soul. The Dolly Parton album she uses to promote the single on Instagram is bright purple vinyl, but, oh, well … there’s also a fun, just-released music video to match. Emily Ann wrote the song along with Jeremy Crady and Simon Reid. It’s her fourth single (including one cover song) of 2020.

* Mikele Buck from Season 15 released his own fun country tune on Friday — “Mama Didn’t Listen” — in which he blames his mama for his country-music-playing, skirt-chasing barroom ways. He calls the song his ode to Waylon Jennings and his love of true honkytonk country music. And it’s the first of two singles he plans to release. Next up: a song called “Country Side.”

* Zach Bridges from Season 17 is back with “On My Mind,” his third single since the show. It’s a co-write with Chase Waters and “a jam,” Zach promises. Zach also recently celebrated 100,000 streams of previous 2020 single “Scared of a Little Love.” And he and his wife has celebrated the birth of a daughter since he appeared on the show last fall.
