Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Charlie Rey from The Voice Season 3 has a new single out

“Undeniable Love” “was written to say, ‘Take a second to stop taking things too seriously,” the former Voice contestant says in a promo video on his YouTube channel.

“There’s an undeniable love that’s all around us. And it’s visible and it’s tangible. But sometimes we can get lost in the middle of real life, whether that’s school or jobs or parenting or just plain wondering what the heck are we going to do next.”

Charlie wrote the song with Josh Bronleewe and Tony Wood and shot an accompanying music video last week.

Since appearing on Season 3 of The Voice, Charlie has gotten married and now has two young children. He’s also survived a couple of health scares he explains on his website and has decided to focus on faith-based music, with more on the way.

“There is clean music that is relevant, but not nearly enough,” he says in that web bio. “We need to have music available that is good for the soul and spirit, but that can only come with relevance.”

“Undeniable Love” is just one of several recent singles released by former contestants of The Voice.
