Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Recent post-Voice releases include cover songs from Fousheé, Cami Clune, Steve Knill and Troy Ramey.

In addition, Season 18 colleagues Arei Moon and Toneisha Harris have teamed up for a powerful version of “Cycles” that clocks in at more than six minutes.

Here’s a bit about each of those releases. As always, the links take you to the songs on Apple Music.

* Fousheé from Season 15 has released a cover of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence.” The song will be used as the soundtrack for clothing line H&M’s summer campaign “Find the Strength in Silence.” Fousheé has been on a roll in the past year since a snippet of her song “Deep End” went viral on TikTok. She’s also announced the release of her debut album, “Time Machine,” on June 4.

* Arei Moon and Toneisha Harris from Season 18 have teamed up for a take-you-to-church worthy cover of “Cycles” by Jonathan McReynolds. Arei was Top 17 on the show; Toneisha was the runner-up to Todd Tilghman. The ladies were even introduced to us on the same audition episode.

* Cami Clune from Season 19 has released a full-version cover of “I Put a Spell on You.” It’s the song she performed during the knockout round on The Voice. Earlier this year, she released “Skinny Love,” the song she performed for her four-chair turn blind audition. Cami finished Top 9 on the show.

* Troy Ramey from Season 12 released a pair of covers this month. His version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” landed Friday. It follows a cover of H.E.R.’s “Hard Place.” They mark Troy’s first releases of 2021.

* Steve Knill from Season 17 continues to release impressive covers. He dropped two during May, “Song of the South” by Alabama and “Cruisin'” by Smokey Robinson. How’s that for versatility?
