Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New post-Voice music out includes an EP from Loren Allred of “The Greatest Showman” fame and singles from JessLee and Mark Isaiah.

Here’s more about each of those releases.

The links take you to the releases on Apple Music.

Loren Allred from The Voice Season 3

* Loren Allred from Season 3 released her debut EP, “Late Bloomer,” on Friday. I’m sure the title is a nod to the fact that the debut EP is coming at age 32 after Loren gained acclaim for her vocal on “Never Enough” in her late 20s. “Til I Found You” is the lead single and got the music video treatment. But for my money, the top tracks are “This Summer” (which shows off Loren’s superb vocals wonderfully) and “Miss Myself.” The six tracks also include a cover of Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You’ve Been Gone.” Loren played an EP release show at the Rockwood Music Hall, has another set for Hotel Cafe in L.A. (Oct. 7); then heads out on tour with Andrea Bocelli. That tour includes dates in Philly and D.C.

JessLee from The Voice Season 14

* JessLee from Season 14 is a country artist, but leans more pop on her latest single, “Mess Me Up,” a collaboration with Nico Brey. She’s also celebrating 100 streams on Spotify for “My Way,” a recent collaboration with Ryan Clark. JessLee is also 17 episodes into her podcast The JessLee Roadshow, available via Amazon Prime, Roku Television and winjectstudios.

Mark Isaiah from The Voice Season 12

* Mark Isaiah, Top 10 on Season 12, has released a bilingual single called “Make You Mine.” It follows “Vibes” and “Care for Me” as the third single in three months from Mark, who had gone a year between releases before that. Writes Mark on Instagram: “I’m NOT doing it for the money, I’m NOT doin it for the fame, I’m NOT doin it because I’m good at it. I’m doing this because God gave me this gift to share with others and make a positive impact in the world and to give hope to those that need to be reminded that.”
