Will is releasing a new single in 12/6. I was meh on his first post-show single, and don’t care for his Christmas cover, but this one sounds like a hit.

 

I know he co-wrote this one, because I posted a clip in his fan thread of him singing it in the writing session several months ago.

 

He’s getting a lot of positive feedback everywhere for this teaser. The question is will the label will promote it? 
 

 

Good for him.

Will’s new song is out. IMO, this is his best song yet. Let’s see if he can convert the massive TikTok and Facebook interest into sales and streaming…not an easy task. 
 

“Everything But Me”

It was released through 19 Recordings.

congrats to her!! but it's also 2/5 of last season's Top 5 having pregnancies in less than a year for me  Tyler Ward also founded Songhouse which has collaborated with many Idol/The Voice alumni of course.

He’s also 40 yo, so pardon my slight ick.

Basically. According to this entry, she'll be 26 on January 10.

Unfortunately, it’s very true that you shouldn’t have a baby at 15 or 16 like the other one who got to the Top 5 did.

I know I’m bumping an old post, but that sentence is an absolute joke.

I think they reduced the sentence because he was a minor at the time.
