The links take you to the songs on Apple Music.

* Kat Hammock, from Season 17, released “Beautiful Life” on Thursday. “One night in November last year, it just flowed out of me,” she writes on Instagram. She explains the song more fully in a blog post saying it was inspired by transitional moments in her life, including her Voice blind audition, the funerals of her grandparents and the beginning of the pandemic. “Not all of these memories are joyful, but each nevertheless taught me that life is a beautiful gift,” she adds.

* Emmalee, from Season 19, released “Gravity” on Friday. It’s already the fifth single from the singer-songwriter this year, following most recently “How It Goes.” Of the new single, she writes: “Huge thanks to @joshharrismusic for producing it and @nashville_creative_house (Moe Loughran) for helping me put into words and melody what’s been on my heart for so long.”

* Elenowen, the husband and wife team of Josh and Nicole Johnson from Season 1, continued a string of impressive released with “Up from Here” on Friday. There’s a music video too. “As glad as we are to share the song with you, we are beyond pumped to finally share the video!” writes Josh. “This was a labor of love, shot & directed by our long time friend @lukerutherfordd, where several concept/direction/vibe changes throughout the process almost forced us to throw out the whole thing. So glad we didn’t though, b/c after days of shooting & canning footage, & literally three straight days of editing, we finished it just in time to share it with you ,,, and we LOVE IT!”
