Four former winners of The Voice are returning to the show that launched their careers. They’re back not just to catch up on old times but to help the coaches prepare their artists for the Knockout Round. Chris Blue (Season 12) is helping his coach Alicia Keys. Jordan Smith is teaming up with his coach Adam Levine. Last season’s winner Chloe Kohanski is back with her coach Blake Shelton. Since it’s Kelly Clarkson‘s first year as a coach, she gets to work with The Voice’s first female winner Cassadee Pope (Season 3).
It’s been a big year for Cassadee. The 28-year-old just released her new single “Take You Home” which is about a woman who’s smitten with a man and wants to take him home to show him where she’s from. Pope took some time off to regroup after she left her longtime label (BMLG records; she’s now with Fusion Music) and went through a personal breakup. She recently told Billboard that she’s “single for the first time in eight years.” She says she hopes to reintroduce herself with “Take You Home” and describes it as “confident” and “sexy.” It’s hard to disagree. The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8pm on NBC.
