Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New post-Voice music out includes an album from Brother Bird (better remembered by Voice fans as Caroline Glazer) and singles from Ryan Innes and JessLee.

Here’s a bit about each of those releases.

The links take you to the songs on Apple Music.

Brother Bird (aka Carolina Glaser) from The Voice Season 4

* Brother Bird (aka Caroline Glaser from Season 4) recently released an 11-song album called “Gardens.” It’s her first project of such a grand scope since a self-titled Caroline Glazer album in 2016. Caroline says she started “gardens” with Andy Hull and Robert Mcdowell back in early 2019. “These songs are insanely special to me & I’m genuinely teary eyed thinking about all the incredible people who have been along for this ride. Truly a village,” she writes on social media. My favorite tracks on the album include “Stay Down,” “What We’ve Become” and “Kid Again,” which you can check out below.

Ryan Innes from The Voice Season 3

* Ryan Innes from Season 3 collaborated with Hidden Citizens on a song called “Monster” released just before Halloween. “This one’s gonna hit you square in the chest. Like you’re in your own nightmare,” Ryan promised. He co-wrote the song with Billy Van and Tim Halperin, an American Idol contestant several seasons ago.

JessLee from The Voice Season 14

* JessLee from Season 14 has teamed up with Break the Rules for a new single called “John Doe.” She wrote the song with Steve Virginia and Nico Brey and says it’s the type of song she’s been wanting to release for a while. JessLee calls her music “punktry” — “a mix of pop, rock and country in whatever way best suits the project I am working on. I officially coined the term on The Voice and have been waiting to do something that leaned a little more on the pop rock side! I knew the time was right when @breaktherulesmusic approached me with the track.”
