Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Former The Voice champ Danielle Bradbery’s new single landed Friday.

But in the end, Danielle Bradberry got the timing right.

Last year at this time, Danielle was dropping an occasional track from her then upcoming second album, “I Don’t Believe We’ve Met.”

On the first day of fall, she released a Thomas Rhett co-write called “Hello Summer.”

It was odd timing even she acknowledged in a Facebook post.

Well, it turns out the original title of the song was “Goodbye Summer.” And when it didn’t make the cut for Rhett’s latest album, his management team sent it to Danielle for a listen.

She decided to put it on her album, with the tweaked title.

Now she’s decided to make it her new single. But since the single is landing in August, she decided to go back to the original title. And the new version features a vocal assist from Rhett.

“It worked out perfectly,” she says in a video about the song.

For those who haven’t heard either “Hello Summer” or “Goodbye Summer,” it’s a song about an intense summer romance coming to an end.

It follows Top 40 hit “Sway” and Top 50 hit “Worth It” as Danielle’s third single off “I Don’t Believe We’ve Met.”

Rhett says he’s delighted the song became Danielle’s next single. And was more than happy to lend a vocal assist.

“It’s crazy how songs kind of come full circle and find their homes,” he says.

Especially in this case.

Here’s “Goodbye Summer.”
