'The Voice' News 2016: Alisan Porter Hoping To Bring 'Woodstock Nation' Back To Music [VIDEO]
The Voice winner Alisan Porter is already dreaming big for her upcoming album, revealing which era of music she'd like to bring back into the mainstream.
Porter, who made history this season on The Voice as the first artist to win the show with a female coach (Christina Aguilera), is similarly looking to go outside the box for her album. While the current pop music industry features a lot of production-heavy, '80s-inspired singles and albums, Porter is hoping to bring back a more organic sound.
The singer spoke with Wetpaint recently and revealed that she's always dreamt of "bringing back Woodstock Nation," referring to the iconic 1969 music festival. Porter's covers on The Voice clearly reflected this era, singing songs by artists like Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Linda Ronstadt and the Mamas and the Papas.
"I really love bands and just organic sounds. I'm not really that into electronics and all that kind of stuff," Porter said.
However, she stressed that it is also important to have a sound that connects with a younger generation.
Porter also talked about who she might want to work with in the music industry in the future.
"I would love to work with Linda Perry, I think she's so incredible. She's written some of the best songs. I would love to collaborate with my coach." She also listed P!nk, who served as an advisor during semifinal week on The Voice, as someone who understands her approach to music.
Then there's longtime friend (and fellow singing competition finalist) Adam Lambert, who Porter said has talked with her about collaborating in the future.
Porter's album does not have an official release date just yet, though you can buy her collection of Voice songs on iTunes, plus her albums she released before The Voice, titled Alisan Porter and Who We Are, respectively.
