Jamar Rogers from Season 2 winds up on this list for the second straight week because he’s a featured guest on a song called “Sting Like a Hornet” from Kaltama’s new album “Insomnio.” Guarantee, this is a song that will grow on you with repeated listens. Meanwhile, Jamar has launched a Kickstarter to support his next major project, an EP with an accompanying short film. And he promises, ” I’ve got a whole new sound to move you guys.”

Elia Esparza of Season 11 has continued her string of 2019 singles with “With You,” released Friday. In a Facebook chat with fans, Elia says it’s a song she’s been wanting to share for quite a while and that a music video for the song will be coming as well. The El Paso songstress previously released the singles “Karma” and “Are You Coming Back” in 2019.

Amber Sauer from Season 14 has released her first post-Voice single. The song is called “All My Help,” and Amber dedicated it to her hometown of Paradise, Calif., for the way residents pulled together during the 2018 Camp Fire. Amber and her residents were forced to evacuate in what she calls “a pretty crazy” experience. The song, co-written with Clifton Williams, “was birthed from community and gathering and helping one another” deal with the situation, she told her local TV station.

Sophia Urista from Season 11 rocks out on her new original, “Girl on Girl.” The song also has an accompanying music video, in which Sophia co-stars with a vintage red Mustang convertible. Check out that scream at the end of the song. Between playing Dusty Moonboots in Vegas, releasing her own music and singing lead for cover band Brass Against, Sophia’s had a busy 2019.

Sugar Joans, from Season 7, has released her third single of 2019, one called “Small Talk.”. Oh, and she calls this one her “anti-fuxkboi anthem.” So take that, L.A. guys, this girl’s looking for real love. Sugar’s previous 2019 singles were “Secrets” and “Invisible.”
