Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Huntley, Nini Iris and Josh Sanders are among the former Voice contestants with new music out.

Catching up on recent releases from artists fans met on The Voice.

Huntley, last fall’s winner of The Voice, has a new song out called “Skyline Drive.” Huntley, from Fredericksburg, Va., calls it “my love song to Virginia — her rolling mountains, beautiful sky, and flowing waters have always been my inspiration. After everything this past year, it felt right to pay homage to my home and remember where it all started.” “Skyline Drive” follows “Tell Me When It’s Over” as Huntley’s second single since The Voice. Released in August, that song has about 73,000 streams on Spotify.

Nini Iris, one of Huntley’s Team Niall colleagues on The Voice, made it to the semifinals. She’s released a impressive cover of Radiohead’s “Karma Police,” one of songs that helped get her that far. Nini’s also launched her first-ever tour, appropriately called The Beginning. It began with a sold-out show in New York and will continue with stops in Rutherford, N.J. (Nov. 14), Sellersville, Pa. (Nov. 1) and Somerville, Mass. (Dec. 19). She’s also working on an EP and recently posted a snippet of an original called “Release Me.”

Josh Sanders, runner-up on Season 25 for Team Reba, recently released a new single. It’s a song called “Take Her Out Tonight” and it has an accompanying music video, which you can check out below. Josh auditioned or the show at age 35. “Take Her Out Tonight” is his debut single. So it’s not surprising he labels the release “the moment I’ve dreamed of my whole life.” Josh has also been performing shows regularly since The Voice and just filmed his first commercial.
