Jamie Lono from The Voice Season 2

* Jamie Lono from Season 2 released an EP called “Rising from the Smoke” on Friday. It’s a four-song collection and marks his first EP since 2020’s “I Feel Free.” “I’m really proud of the work my team and I did on this one,” writes Jamie on Instagram. He also records and releases music as Sheffield and dropped a single called “In a Moment” under that pseudonym earlier this year.

Christian Cuevas from The Voice Season 11

* Christian Cuevas, a semifinalist on Season 11, released “Take Me Home” on Friday. To celebrate, he posted Instagram photos of the homes he lived in as he grew up. He calls it the most honest song he’s ever written. “Fought with a lot of words I wrote in this, but finished it in 20 minutes and honestly…. I love it,” he wrote when he debuted the song on social media late last year. It’s the first release in nearly two years for Christian, a worship leader.

* Ryan Innes from Season 3 released “Working Man” on Friday. It’s the first song off an EP called “Closure,” due out June 9. “Bringing back that old soul grit and gravel,” he writes of the new song. “Go get your stomp-clap on and sing out them struggles.”
