Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Rebecca Loebe, from Season 1 of The Voice, has released a new album, “Blink.”

The self-described gypsy minstrel just released a superb 12-track singer-songwriter album called “Blink.”

Want gorgeous ballads?

Rebecca accommodates with “Lie” and “Weeping Willow.”

Want a little more step in your music?

Rebecca has that covered too with songs like “Cannonball,” “Forever Young Forever” and the addictive “Bad Things.”

Those are my favorites on an album chock full of highlights.

Oops, I almost forgot another standout tune called “Easy Money.”

The album is Rebecca’s first in five years and was funded in part with a LoebeQuest fundraiser she launched back in 2015.

Next step: Heading out on tour to promote the album.

Rebecca already has about three dozen tour stops scheduled for this year, kicking off her “Blink” tour with a trio of shows in Texas this weekend.

That tours includes shows at The Wolf Trap in the D.C. suburbs on March 2 and at Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, Pa., on March 4.

You can check out all the dates on Rebecca’s website.

In the meantime, here’s a snippet of “Bad Things,” a song she says was partially composed in a dream.

“I literally woke up from a dead sleep with the entire chorus in my head,” she writes on Facebook.
