Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Post-Voice singles recently released include new songs featuring MJ Songstress (aka Melissa Jimenez), Kiraly Viktor and Tim Atlas.

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.

MJ Songstress from Season 6 will put you in a summer dance mood with her latest single, “Give Me Tonight.” It’s actually the English version of “Dame La Noche,” a Latin-flavored pop sound she released in November and which has been streamed more than 333,000 times on Spotify. There’s an official animoji music video of MJ “in quarantine, channeling my inner child.” MJ appeared on Season 6 as Melissa Jimenez and made it all the way to the Top 20.

Kiraly Viktor from Season 9 is determined to get you dancing too with his new single “Models.” It’s a collaboration with M1N3 and DR BRS. For those who don’t remember, Kiraly is from Budapest, Hungary, and describes the new song as “a real international production, from Holland to Budapest to New York and back!” There’s also a music video likely to remind you of one Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams made famous a couple years back.

Tim Atlas from Season 9 has a new collaboration out with Jesse Barrera called “Hail Mary.” It’s a relationship song and a true joint effort considering Tim and Jesse co-wrote and co-produced the song. There’s a lyric video too. Tim also recently released a set of remixes from his 2019 “Together Lonely” EP. And when it comes to having his music listened to, he’s fared better than most of his post-Voice counterparts, with 11.8 million streams in 2019 on Spotify alone.
