Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New post-Voice music out includes singles from Sophia Bromberg and Madilyn Paige and a duet featuring Xenia and Cole Criske.

Here’s a bit more about each of those releases. The links, where available, take you to the songs on Apple Music.

Sophia Bromberg from The Voice Season 21

* Sophia Bromberg from Season 21 released the inspiring “Champions of Change” on Friday. The song about saving the planet arrived, appropriately enough, on Earth Day. It comes with a rap assist from Oren Major. Sophia says she wrote the “earth anthem” for Planet Footprint, a company focused on the elimination of single-use plastics. Sophia was just 16 when she auditioned for The Voice and landed a spot on Team Ariana Grande.

Madilyn Paige from The Voice Season 6

* Madilyn Paige from Season 6 sings about a prince who has everything he could ever want, including a loving princess, but still isn’t satisfied in her latest single, “Enough.” Says Madilyn: “Wrote this song years ago after a really hard time and wasn’t sure I’d ever release it. But the time is right, and it’s finally out today everywhere!! I hope you love it.” It’s the first single of 2022 from Madilyn.

Xenia from The Voice Season 1

* Xenia from Season 1 and Cole Criske from Season 9 have teamed up to release a lovely duet called “Calm.” Xenia says Cole “and I wrote this song YEARS ago. We were both going through a really difficult time and we came up with a song that helped remind us that God is good regardless of our circumstances. He is in control. He knows what’s best. And He made ALL things. How can we not be CALM and trust the God and creator of the universe? He doesn’t promise a perfect, painless life, but he does promise to be with us.”
