Idol Chatter & Voice Views

It’s new music Friday, but here’s some new music you probably didn’t expect. At least not yet.

In conjunction with Hollywood Records, American Idol has already released the new singles the Season 16 finalists will be performing Sunday night.

That includes a ballad called “Johnny Cash Heart” for Caleb Lee Hutchinson, a rollicking country tune called “Rivers Deep” for Gabby Barrett and a catchy pop tune called “Going Going Gone” for Maddie Poppe.

In a story posted by Variety on Thursday, Disney Music Group president Ken Bunt said each finalist was presented four possible singles and got to release the one they felt fit them best.

Of course, we’ll get to watch them perform the songs live on the American Idol performance finale on Sunday.

The Season 16 winner will be announced Monday night.

Here are thos singles.
