![]() "The lyrics and undertone resonated with me immediately and I knew it had to be the first single from my new album." Ruti Olajugbagbe - 2018Įighteen-year-old Molly Hocking became the eighth winner of The Voice UK, giving mentor Olly Murs his first win at the second time of asking. "As soon as I started collaborating with David on this song, I knew that it was a perfect fit for the record," Mo said. Mo worked with Swedish musician David Kjellstrand on That Feeling and has described it as a "perfect fit" for his first album. "I'm so happy to finally share with you that my debut album Evolve will be out on 30th March!" Mo said on Twitter. He has also announced that his first album will be called Evolve and that it'll be out at the end of March, following on from his recent single That Feeling. "I definitely think she's got another winner!" "I've been working hard in the studio for the last six months and I hope I can pass on some of the things I've learnt whilst making my album to the talented singers on Jennifer's team," he added. He returned to the show in 2018 as a guest mentor for Team Jennifer, alongside Leona Lewis. Mo released his debut track Unsteady from the EP Globetrotter but only managed to reach a chart position of No.78. However, despite winner Mo’s popularity and that of his coach Jennifer Hudson, his career has followed the usual Voice form. It’s not always my own sadness, because I’m kind of an empath and I pick up on other people.When The Voice UK moved over to ITV, many thought it would signal the start of winning being a major foot up into the music industry as the programme would be unfettered by the BBC’s ban on sponsorship and advertising. But a lot of my emotion goes into songwriting when I’m sad or upset. “I can’t say I’ve lived a life of constant sorrow, but that song was in a movie I loved (“Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?”) and I loved the sound if it. The only thing I really had a problem with on the show was doing the interviews.”īeginning with “Man of Constant Sorrow” (which he still plays live), Fredericks still feels at home with sadder songs. I was busking for tips and in those situations you’re focused on the music, you’re not too worried what the audience is thinking. “I used to sing at farmers’ markets when I was younger, and that’s probably why I didn’t have any stage fright on the show. ![]() Now I can walk around and people won’t recognize me, as long as I keep my hair pulled up.”įredericks will still be in acoustic mode, doing mainly his own songs, when he hits City Winery on Sunday, doing two shows in the Haymarket Lounge - the late show is sold out, but tickets are available at this writing for the early show.Īcoustic music also harks back to Fredericks’ pre-“Voice” roots. But I mostly enjoyed it because people were genuine, they really liked what I did. ![]() The attention has died down a little bit in the beginning I was really shy about it and I didn’t want to be ‘on’ all the time. After ‘The Voice’ I was very glad that I could get back to my house and be separated from that kind of chaos. And I don’t like L.A., so I like being down to earth and staying close to my family. “I’m more of the nighttime chore person, my dad is the one getting up in the morning,” he said by phone this week. And he says he wrote the songs between doing chores on his family’s farm in Fultonville, N.Y. That’s been “The Voice” winner Sawyer Fredericks’ life for the past few years, and he says that his music is better because of it.įredericks won the NBC-TV series’ eighth season in 2015 at 16, he was the series’ youngest winner and one of its more popular performers making his debut with the world-weary folk song “Man of Constant Sorrow.” The music he’s making now has zero Hollywood connection his latest album “Hide Your Ghost” is acoustic and traditionally based. Not many people would choose to go from TV stardom to cleaning up after cows and pigs.
