"The Voice: Season 1 the Highlights" Available in Stores August 9th

This eleven song collection features the most unforgettable and uplifting highlights from The Voice's debut season in the states. The Voice winner and Republic Records artist JAVIER COLON delivers a stunning and soaring rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time"-one of the season's favorites—and runner-up Dia Frampton turns Kanye West's "Heartless" into a moving and melodic gem. Other contestants Vicci Martinez, Beverly McClellan, Xenia, Casey Weston, Nakia, Rebecca Loebe, and Frenchie Davis offer up their takes on timeless tunes from Nirvana, Dolly Parton, R.E.M. and many more. It's a diverse and undeniably catchy compilation featuring all of these unique "voices" in one place.

Working with judges and vocal coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, and Blake Shelton, the contestants each pushed themselves immensely, giving memorable performances each episode. Until the next season airs, viewers can enjoy The Voice over and over again with this special compilation.
