Cassadee Pope is gearing up for a big 2013 with the release of her new album and big tour. Pope appeared on the singing show "The Voice" on NBC last season (Season 3), got picked by Team Blake (Shelton) and went on to win the entire competition. 

Since "The Voice" she has been working on her debut solo record in Nashville,TN.  

Cassadee just went to twitter to share some big news with her former coach, Blake Shelton.  She said, "@CassadeePope: @blakeshelton sorry! I can catch you up when I see you June 4th on @NBCTheVoice  I'm performing my single!"

So fans can look forward to her hitting "The Voice" stage again and letting everyone hear her new single live for the first time!

Her Facebook page does say that her first single will be released in a few weeks.

The ex-lead singer for Hey Monday, has been anxiously awaiting her her first major solo tour opening up for country super stars, Rascal Flatts.

Since Cassadee has already spent years out on the road with her former band, having fans will not be an issue and there is sure to be a great turn out for the future Pop/Country singer.

Cassadees playlist for her upcoming album will feature many personal songs about her experiences throughout her life, along with songs that will relate to everyone with the typical day to day problems. "There are songs about someone cheating or being [cheated on]," she said. "These are things I've never gone through personally, but as an artist, I want people to relate."  

One particular problem that Cassadees album will speak about is her ongoing absence with her father. During the taping of "The Voice", Cassadee spoke about her struggle of living without her dad in her life and decided to write a song expressing the heartache she faced with the relationship. 

She recently reunited with her father after the show and speaks very fondly of the song that was written about their relationship. "It is one of my favorites," she admitted. "I'm sure it will strike a chord in his heart and make him a little teary eyed."

Cassadee signed a contract with Republic of Nashville after "The Voice" and has been working hard since writing and recording the new record. 

The new album still has no confirmed release date, but she has kept fans in the loop with YouTube videos of her giving sneak peeks of the albums meaning.

Cassadee will be on tour opening for Rascal Flatts, as well as The Band Perry. "Incredibly excited to announce I will be supporting the Rascal Flatts tour this summer. I'll be playing right before The Band Perry. Yay!" stated Cassadee.  

The tour will began on June 6th in Atlanta, Georgia and will continue throughout September.
