Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New post-Voice music includes songs from rockers Lilith Czar (formerly Juliet Simms), Manny Cabo and Chase Kerby (as Hotel Nights).

Here’s more on each of those releases.

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

* Lilith Czar, formerly Juliet Simms from Season 2, is vocalist on a just-released voer of Queensrÿche’s rocker “I Don’t Believe in Love.” This version of the song comes from the Amazon Prime series Paradise City, which stars Lilith’s husband, Andy Biersack. Lilith played “Sheva” the lead singer of a rock band called “The Mavens.” Says Lilith: “So wonderful to collab with you lovely powerful women and share scenes doing what we love most.” Juliet’s debut album as Lilith, “Created from Filth and Dust,” comes out next Friday and is available for pre-order. Two songs — “King” and “Lola” has already been released.

* Manny Cabo from Season 9 has released “Worst Bad Decision,” his first single of 2021. It’s about a woman putting up with a man in spite of his abusive ways. Says Manny: “For all the ladies in the lovers of the world, this one is for you. Remember, self-respect is on top of that list. You have to learn to love yourself first. Never settle for anything less than what you deserve!”

* Chase Kerby from Season 9 has dropped another song as Hotel Nights. It’s called “Perfume” and landed Friday. In his Spotify bio, Chase says his former band was dissolving and his music was taking “a sorrowful turn I didn’t want to be defined by.” So he took a trip to the Oregon Coast, took the name Hotel Nights and starting releasing music under that name last year, beginning with a four-song EP called “Pains of the Weekenders” in December. “Perfume” is his first single since.
