Recent post-Voice releases include new songs from Riley Biederer, Betsy Ade and Sam James.
Here’s a bit more about each of those releases. The links take you to the songs on Apple Music.
* Riley Biederer from Season 9 is the feature vocalist on “Forever, For Now,” a song fromt he DJ duo called Syence. “It’s pretty much about wanting forever without all the pressure of forever,” says Riley. The duo says they’ve been wanting to work with Riley forever, no pun intended. Riley’s also just released the music video for her single “mg,” released back in April. You can also check it out below.
* Betsy Ade and the Well-Known Strangers released “Standing By” on Friday. It’s the band’s third single off their upcoming album, “Dawn.” The song features music “as our hero,” Betsy, from Season 16, writes on Facebook, adding: “Music has helped navigate me through the darkest most confusing times in my life … Music will always be standing by, waiting for you when you need it.” The Well Known Strangers recently took their music to Scotland, performing 13 shows in eight cities in a span of 14 days.
* Sam James from Season 3 has a new song out called “Kiss and Tell.” It’s actually a duet with Jazmin Nikolé and is about past relationship and showing an ex you’re doing fine without them. It follows “Going Through It” as James’ second single of 2022. Back in 2019, Sam was featured on the premiere episode of NBC’s “Songland,” pitching a song called “Shinedown” to John Legend. Sam later released that song.
