Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Recent post-Voice releases include singles from Nolan Neal and Blaine Mitchell and a new cover from Brass Against, featuring former Voice contestant Sophia Urista.

Below, you’ll find a bit about those releases.

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

* Nolan Neal from Season 11 recently released the single “You Make Time Slow Down.” It marks Nolan’s first release since appearing on America’s Got Talent this summer. He performed two originals on the show and made the quarterfinals. Writes Nolan: “I’ve noticed time moving faster since the pandemic. But when I’m with her, time slows down. It’s a simple song and my first time programming strings.” Nolan has also launched a Patreon campaign and is releasing new music on that platform as well.

* Blaine Mitchell from Season 9 appeared on the show in 2015 and last month released just his second single since (“Losing Myself”). He’s already back with the followup, “Golden Light.” And this time, there’s a music video too.

* Brass Against, with Sophia Urista from Season 11 on lead vocals, released a cover of Tool’s “Stinkfest” on Friday. It’s the sixth single this year with Brass Against, which specializes in putting its own stamp on classic rock songs. Sophia also announced last week that she’ll be heading into the studio in February to record her first full-length album.
