* LACES from Season 2 (when she was Charlotte Sometimes) has an addictive new song out called “Almost Happy.” It’s a collaboration with her 1990s “guitar hero,” Butch Walker. Writes LACES: “I’m probably as close as I will ever get to that so-called ‘happy place.’ The singer of many names has been busy lately. Her song “The End” as JPOLND is featured on the new season of the Amazon show “Bosch.” And she recently released “Be Yourself” as Jessy Jones. A Jessy Jones EP is also on the way.

* Payge Turner from Season 19 recently released “Lost My Cool.” It’s follows “Aftermath,” “Garden” and “Goodbye” as the fourth song she’s released from her upcoming album. Payge is also preparing to release a new collaboration with Season 19 colleague Lauren Frihauf. They also collaborated on “Goodbye.”

* Manny Cabo from Season 9 released a rock single called “Crazy” on Friday. It follows “Worst Bad Decision” as his second release of 2021. “So excited for this one because it’s been a long time coming,” writes Manny on Instagram.
