Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Lila Forde of The Voice Season 24 has released her first original song since the show.

A look at new music released by artists fans met on The Voice.

Lila Forde, a finalist on Season 24, has released her first single since The Voice. “Honesty” landed Friday. Says Lila: “This song is about the deep heartache that comes after leaving a relationship that has served you so beautifully for so long, but you both decide to spread your wings. In those moments, it’s hard to be honest … with friends, family, and especially with myself. I found the only way I could be truly honest, was through the music.” Lila also recently performed her first New York show, with fellow Season 24 standout Nini Iris. And she has released a cover of “Can’t Find My Way Home,” her four-chair turn audition song from the show.

Corey Ward from Season 20 dropped his latest single, “Wasn’t Enough,” on Friday. “If you’ve ever felt everything you’ve done for someone was never enough this is your new song!” says Corey. From South Carolina, Corey was known on The Voice for his passionate performances, which carried him to that season’s semifinals. “Wasn’t Enough” follows “Favorite Things” as his second release of 2024.

Carlos Rising from Season 23 has a new song out called “If I Only Had a Day.” And he’s dedicating it to he and his wife’s daughter Luna Solène Rising, who was born April 23. As for the song, Carlos writes: “What would you do if you only had one day to spend with the person you love the most? This is my answer.” Carlos released a six-song EP called “It’s Just a Phase” in February, then followed it up with another single called “Drifting.”

Sorellé, the sister trio that finished fourth on Season 24, has a new song out. It’s a cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Expresso,” done 1960s style. Sisters Madi Heichel, Ana Heichel and Bella Heichel released their first post-show original — a song called “Rain” — last month. They also recently announced that they’ll be opening for Big Time Rush at Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pa. in August. “We watched their show hoping to one day be just like them … now, we have the amazing opportunity to OPEN FOR THEM! It’s a dream come true.”
