Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Season 10 Voice contestant Jared Harder released his debut single Friday.

The song is called “Heaven Knows,” and Jared calls it “the most honest song I’ve ever written.”

“If I could let people hear one message from me, about who I am as a person and the mistakes I’ve made and the things I want to do better, this is that song,” Jared says in a Facebook post for fans.

Jared, from Joplin, Missouri, was 22 when he auditioned for The Voice and landed a spot on Team Blake. He was eliminated in a battle round match with eventual Season 10 runner-up Adam Wakefield.

Pre-Voice, he was a member of the bands Lexington Heights and the Kat Niles Band and worked as a guitarist for Christian and country artists.

Here’s “Heaven Knows.”
