Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Lots of great new music is being released these days by former Voice contestants.

Here’s a look at the latest country songs released by Andrew Sevener, Jordan Rager, James Dupre, Dave Fenley, Austin Allsup and Kelsie May, all of whom we met on the show.

* Andrew Sevener turned a one-chair turn into a spot in the finals on Season 16 of The Voice. Now he’s released his first single since, a country song called “Sorry Again.” Since the show, he’s also played at Blake Shelton’s Ole Red in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.

* Jordan Rager from Season 2 of The Voice has released a single called “Small Town Talkin’,” his third under the Riser House Entertainment label. It’s the followup to “Colorblind,” which has more than 1 million streams and became a music video last month.

* Dave Fenley, Top 10 for Team Blake on Season 15, has released a cover of “Stuck on You,” the Lionel Richie song he sang during the knockout round. Dave previously released his blind audition song, Travis Tritt’s “Help Me Hold On.”

* Austin Allsup, Top 10 on Season 11, dropped a new song called “It’s Gotta Mean Something” on July 26. He wrote it with Nolan Neal — yep, also of Season 11 — and Austin says he plans to continue releasing an original on the last Friday of the month for the next several months.

* James Dupre has sent his incredibly catchy country single “Another Love Song” to radio. James was a four-chair turn recipient back in Season 9 and recently announced that he’s working on his third studio album and his first since 2016’s “Stoned to Death.”

* Kelsie May was featured on Season 8 of The Voice at age 15. She’s now 20 and just released her second single this year, “Red Sunset.” A music video will soon follow. Back in April, Kelsie released “Fool for You.”
