Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New post-Voice music out this week includes singles from Keith Paluso and a pair of singer-songwriters we met on Season 18 — Zan Fiskum and Joanna Serenko.

Here’s a bit about each of those releases.

The links take you to the songs on Apple Music. I’ve also embedded Spotify snippets below.

* Zan Fiskum, a standout on Season 18, has released her first song since. “Still Thinkin’ About You” landed Friday and will also be on Zan’s upcoming album, “Sleeping Problems.” Of the new song, Zan says “if you ever loved or missed someone, you’ll understand.” And she says the album “has given so much life and purpose during such a hard season” where musicians have been limited in what they can do by the pandemic.

* Joanna Serenko, another of the Season 18 standouts, has released her second single since, “Sister of Nostalgia.” She also released an accompanying music video, directed by J.T. Ibanez. She calls the song “near and dear to my heart.” It follows “Good Side,” her first post-show single, released in mid-June.

* Keith Paluso from Season 15 released “Secondhand Goods” on Friday. It’s the first single off what he calls “my upcoming home-brewed-during-the-apocalypse EP.” On a brighter note, he adds: “I’m super excited to turn some feel-good music on the world. ⁣I’m also proud because, other than getting some feedback from some friends, I produced and recorded every bit of this. I made every sound on this track.”
