The remote auditions took place from August 10 to October 28, 2020 in 50 states plus Washington, D.C. as well as a number of open call auditions, and from these the producers selected the contestants who can then audition in front of the judges.
“Beyond” was the third single released from Leon Bridges’ second studio album Good Thing (2018). The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 and was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
