Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New post-Voice music out this week includes pop singles from Riley Biederer, Gigi Rich and Mark Isaiah.

Here’s a bit about those releases.

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

* Riley Biederer from Season 9 released the catchy pop single “Too Much” on Friday. Writes Riley: “It’s been four years since the last time I put out music of my own & there were so many twists and turns and moments where I really didn’t know if I ever would put out music again but here we are … I hope (the song) makes you feel a little less alone when life feels heavy, because sometimes it is.” Oh, and Riley promises there is so much more to come. That’s good news.

* Gigi Rich from Season 7 promised the new year would bring new music and fulfilled that promise Friday with the release of the soulful “Aura.” It continues a string of strong post-Voice releases from Gigi, who we met as Gianna Salvato on The Voice. “So thankful for everyone involved in making this song come to life!” she writes on Instagram. “The meaning behind it is very special to me.”

Mark Isaiah from Season 12 promised fans a 2020 filled “with new content straight from my heart.” Last week, he released “Reminiscin’,” a smooth R&B pop single. Since appearing on The Voice at age 17 and making it all the way to the Top 10, Mark released an EP in 2017 and a trio of singles — “Purpose and Plan,” “Panini” and “Party Anyway” last year.
