Winner of The Voice’s singing career

Country and pop singer Cassadee Pope  recently released her new single “Take You Home.” The song was released on March 29 after a hiatus of about two years. Pope started her music career while she was still in high school. In 2008, Pope along with Alex Lipshaw, Michael “Jersey” Moriarty,and Elliot James founded the punk rock band Hey Monday. The band broke up in 2011 and Pope moved onto a single career.

She then auditioned for season three of the singing competition T.V. show, The Voice. She won the favor of every judge and ended up choosing country singer Blake Shelton. In the third live round, Pope performed “Over You,” co-written by mentor Shelton. The song reached number one on the iTunes chart, bumping Psy‘s “Gangnam Style” down to number two. She was the only female contestant to advance to the Top 4 round where she performed “Stupid Boy” by country singer-songwriter Sarah Buxton, which also reached number one on iTunes. After winning The Voice, in January 2013 Pope signed with country music label Republic Nashville.

The lead single of her solo album, “Wasting All These Tears,” was released on May 31. It debuted at number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It sold 125,000 copies in first week of release. The album, “Frame by Frame,” was released in October 2013. Pope spent most of 2014 touring with country artists Tim McGraw and Dierks Bentley. Pope released the lead single, “I Am Invincible” and during late 2015, Pope recorded a duet with Chris Young, titled “Think of You” for his 2015 album. This single became Pope’s first song to peak at number one on the US Country Airplay chart in May 2016. Pope signed with Fusion Music in Jan. 2018.
