What: The former "The Voice" contestant got his big break under the mentorship of Christina Aguilera. For his rendition of "On a Night Like This (Dave Barnes Cover)," he headed down south to work with another Grammy award-winning artist.
Why We Love It: When it came to recording the song, apparently the third time was the charm! "My buddy Dave Barnes wrote this song in Nashville," Chris Mann tells AOL Music. "It's an older song and has always been one of my favorites. He writes these simple, beautiful love songs that make me say to myself 'Why didn't I friggin' think of that?!' This is actually the third time I've recorded the song through the years, but it's never been released due to various circumstances. I was never willing to give up on this song though -- it's just too good. Walter Afanasieff produced the track and we added an incredible orchestral outro to it. It's like a classical jam session groove thing. I love it." Check out Chris' new song below!
