Editor's note

MacKenzie Bourg's quiet pop after American Idol

A runner-up from season 13 who kept writing songs through vocal surgery and rehab.

For a sense of his own writing, try 'Heartbeat' or 'Roses.' The cover of 'Pumped Up Kicks' shows where his taste runs.

He's one of those post-Idol artists who actually stuck around and kept making music. The single 'Everyone's Got a Story' got some country radio play after his debut. Songs like 'Heartbeat' and 'Roses' show he was writing his own material while covering everything from Cheap Trick to Foster the People.

He finished as runner-up on American Idol's thirteenth season in 2013, then signed with Republic Records and put out 'American' in 2014. After vocal polyp surgery in 2015 and rehabilitation, he released a second album called 'Phases' in 2018.
