There is something with the past couple of weeks -- it seems a lot of
Idol alumni are getting new material out! We've mentioned
Kelly Clarkson and
Kellie Pickler in the past few days, and now, season 10 winner Scotty McCreery joins the pack.
Scotty's debut, Clear As Day, is out! And judging from the reviews I've read, it seems Scotty's fans (yes, all you girls, and all you mothers out there) will enjoy it. His second single, "The Trouble With Girls", captures his sound well: a bunch of nods towards traditional country, but with a modern twist.
Okay, you're all probably enjoying it already, since it's at the top spot off iTunes' country charts. Anyway, here's him performing that song off Live with Regis and Kelly -- and watch out for him singing that very song on Game 1 of the World Series in two weeks' time!
More new material, then?
Kelly Clarkson continues the teasin', as she posts a full stream of the title track to her upcoming album,
Stronger. I can't embed it here, but you can
click here to listen to "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)". Stuck in my head now...
Still on girl power, a new single from season 9's Siobhan Magnus: her second single "Black Doll" is
now available on iTunes. Ahh, Siobhan, just get your new stuff out already.
Chris Daughtry's also got new stuff out: you can now download his latest single,
"Crawling Back To You", on iTunes today. Also out:
"Drown in You", off the soundtrack to the video game
Batman: Arkham City. His band's upcoming album,
Break The Spell, drops on November 21. Also being released on that date...
James Durbin reveals the cover for his first album, Memories of a Beautiful Disaster, and it looks badass.
And while you're wondering about the rest of season 10: Lauren Alaina's debut Wildflower hits stores on October 11, and I think Haley Reinhart's just started working on her album. As for Pia Toscano... what happens after "This Time"?
Which Idol contestant's music are you going to buy?
