Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New post-Voice releases include music from Mia Z., Ryan Innes and Anthony Evans.

Here’s a bit about the new music from each of those artists.

The links take you to the releases on Apple Music. Or you can check out the Spotify snippets below.

* Mia Z from Season 8 has certainly been a busy young lady. Just three months removed from the release of her third album, Mia released a four-song EP called “This or That” late last month. The music video for “100,003” — one of the songs from that EP — drops Saturday. She recently released the music video for “Evidence,” the title track of her album. And, last week, the music video for “Hurt” landed. It’s a Mia Z song that will be featured in the upcoming film, “Occurrence at Mills Creek.” Mia says she wrote “Hurt” at age 13 about a hurtful relationship she saw her sister going through, recorded the song in her uncle’s home studio and “that is the exact version you will hear!”

* Ryan Innes from Season 4 recently dropped “In Your Fire,” his latest single of what’s been a busy 2020. Music could be a healing balm in the midst of the calamity that is 2020, Ryan notes. “But this track is 3:30 min. of contemplating ‘what if, 2020, we just all gave in to you and let you wash over us and we burned In Your Fire.’ What if? Well, we all gots our moment with this year. This is one of mine.” You might recall that Ryan was one of the songwriters featured on the Season 2 premiere of “Songland” earlier this year.

* Anthony Evans from Season 2 released “Yes I Will 2.0” Friday. It’s a new version of a Christian single he released earlier this year. Anthony performed it at FerVent 2020, a virtual worship event hosted by himself and his sister Priscilla Shirer last weekend. The event is still available in an on-demand format.
