Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Here’s a look at some of the new music released this week by singers who appeared on The Voice.

That music includes new singles from Chris Mann, Paula DeAnda, Aaron Gibson, Jamar Rogers, Joe Kirk and Kylie Rothfield.

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

Chris Mann, a Season 2 finalist, released a new single called “Stop Loving You” Friday. In a Facebook post, Chris says it’s a song he wrote with Willy Beaman and Cameron Forbes. He credits Baby Neddy with delivering the rowdy marching band sound of the chorus and Missi Hale for bringing his vision of “a gospel chorus bridge” to life. “This song has been bopping in my car and my house for almost two years. Been waiting for the right moment to release it, he writes. A music video for the song is also on the way.

Paula DeAnda from Season 6 released a sexy new dance song called “Iddi Biddi.” Of course, what else would you expect from Paula. who put together a string of pop hits when she was a teenager. It’s the second single this year from the Texas gal following “Roll It.” She also had a feature on Rico Rossi’s “I Don’t Wanna Wait.”

Aaron Gibson of Season 11 released his first single of 2019 on Friday. It’s called “Dancefloor” and Aaron writes on Instagram that there’s “plenty more to come.” You can probably count on it. Aaron has released a pair of EPs and an album since finishing Top 8 with the help of three straight instant saves back in the fall of 2016.

Jamar Rogers from Season 2 dropped his second recent single Friday. It’s called “On God” and follows “Togetherness.” Jamar placed eighth on The Voice in 2012 after making a splash in the early rounds of American Idol three years earlier.

Joe Kirk of Season 7 released a single called “1 A.M.” last week and describes it as the end of an era for him. “An era of writing about someone I loved beyond explanation. This song was once so true about my life. Every word. Thank God for growth and the ability to let go!!!” he adds on Instagram. With the hashtag #sadboyhourisover. Joe released his debut single, “All I Know,” last summer.

* On of my favorite new Voice-related singles out this week is “Sleepwalking,” a single from Ryan Nealon, a San Diego area singer-songwriter who never appeared on the show. But the song features a vocal assist from Kylie Rothfield of Season 11, who also co-produced it, played guitar and a bit of bass. Kylie has also released two of her own singles this year, “Not Gonna Wait” and “Monster.”
