The Voice returns for another juicy year

Australians across the country, rejoice – our favourite singing competition The Voice is back for another year!

The returning judges for 2022 are Guy Sebastian, Rita Ora, Keith Urban, and Jessica Mauboy, and all four are ready to hear our budding stars give the famous stage all they've got.

Channel Seven has given us our first look inside the 2022 season, and the fresh talent featured in the clip has left us wanting more.

In disbelief, a contestant can be heard saying, "To go from singing in my living room to singing on The Voice stage..."

After witnessing a memorable and jaw-dropping performance, Keith says in the video: "that's got me sitting forward.

"I've never heard anything like that."

This is the 11th season of the show, and of course, Sonia Kruger will host the series which will see more than 60 talented individuals try and turn the coaches' red chairs during the Blind Auditions.

In celebration of the upcoming season, Keith Urban told Seven, "What will get me the most is when I feel something; when there's a truth in their voice that speaks to me beyond the sound of just their vocal, and I'm able to feel it deeply."

"Listening for passion," added Rita. "I want to hear how much the person loves to sing and their passion for their artistry."

Last year’s winning coach, Guy Sebastian, told Seven, he's searching for a "special voice."

"It is worth fighting for as a coach when you hear it."
