finalist Brayden Lape Fan Thread

[season1]

Brayden picked out his Christmas tree.

 

 

 

I bet it feels much colder for him in Michigan after being in California for over a month.

14:45 of this video is where Morgan talked about working with Brayden on writing and recording. “Hoping to do a lot more of that next year, after the show.”

Looking forward to Brayden and Morgan co-writes. I don't know if the song Brayden posted on TikTok yesterday is one their co-writes but it sounds promising.

While checking the latest Spotify stats for winners and alumni, I came across this Brayden Lape playlist (songs he covered during the season):

 

EDIT:

Brayden does not have a Spotify artist page yet.

I'll give Brayden this - dude was super current, doing all the songs from country radio 2015 and beyond. Hell, doing a country song that's currently 19th in country radio, very little known, in the FINALS no less was ballsy. The only thing that would have made that performance better was if he was shooting red laser eyes like Corey Kent did in that music video. 

 

We also talk about, age 16, he's still trying to find himself, but in a way, all the songs he chose pointed to a distinct boyfriend-country modern identity as well. It's just that super current, modern identity doesn't play well to an audience where vocals are perceived as power.

 

So wouldn't be surprised if he's the only one we hear on radio within the next 10 years, from this group. Hell, if he even makes it on radio, maybe he'll be the next Corey Kent.

The song that @season1 was referring to in the earlier posts in this page. Song is called "Hand it to You."

Brayden and Corey were both criticized for advancing on The Voice further than perceived "better vocalists" in their seasons. But they both have radio-friendly voices. Corey Kent got his big break years after The Voice, when his cover of "Wild As Her" went viral. Labels then took notice and now he's got a Top 20 song (and climbing) on country radio. Hopefully, one of Brayden's future songs would get him a big break.

This article quoted Brayden regarding writing songs and working with Morgan:

 

“I wrote some songs with Morgan Myles and I’m going to put those out and, hopefully, keep working with her because even before the Lives, even before going through this long process, she’s been there for me,” Brayden said in one of his final The Voice interviews. “We wrote a little bit in Nashville, and I just want to continue to write those songs, whether it be with Morgan or people she hooks me up with, or even just songs I write. I want to continue to do that and put them out for people to listen to and continue to play on bigger stages, play in front of more people. My goal is to ride this wave and not let it slow down.”

Brayden also talked a little about his fellow contestants:

 

“It’s funny to look back on those times we would get in trouble for jamming in the hallway,” he recalled. “Literally, every night we would get in trouble. Someone would come up and have a noise complaint from us going out there and having fun. It’s awesome to look back on those times. My best friends are in this Top 5. I haven’t been on other seasons of The Voice, but I am thinking this is may be the best cast.”

Brayden's TikTok account is doing well. The video with the lowest views has 61K. Most have far more views than that.

Brayden had a homecoming a few days ago. He shared a picture of a collage from his homecoming on an IG post, and on his stories:

Thanks for sharing.  I guess Brayden has another studio session soon.

 

I saved the video below:

Does it sound similar to the song Brayden posted on TikTok, just faster?

I listened to it earlier. I think it’s a different song.

There’s some stuff on Morgan’s story with Brayden recording today. It seems that song he sang on tiktok is at least one of the songs he’s recording.

LOL, Morgan and Brayden act like brother and sister.

^ As mentioned above, Brayden is  in Nashville with his mom, to record some songs.  Here are some video clips from IG stories, for those who don't have IG:

 

From Brayden's stories: On the way to Nashville

Did they drive 11+ hours from Michigan?  

 

From Morgan's stories: "Hand it to you"

I wonder if Morgan did additional vocals for this recording?

 

From Brayden's stories: Dinner at Mexican restaurant.

(Note to self: check out Rio Bravo when in Nashville.)

I think she’s just helping with the writing and recording parts, unless she’s doing some backing vocals. Also, notice Brayden said “recording some songs,” so there’s more than one. 
 

Morgan is a prolific songwriter. She wrote 70 songs in three months for her “Therapy” album. She won Nashville industry awards for the album (Album of the Year and Artist of the Year. ). She probably wants to start marketing her songs more to other artists, as she should. She’ll probably write with Bryce too.

Thanks for posting these. Morgan does seem like Brayden's big sis. I'm glad she sees the potential and is willing to work with him.
