Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New post-Voice music out this week includes singles from RADHA, Agina and a Riley Biederer assist on a single by a friend.

Here’s a bit more about each of those releases.

As always, the links take you to the songs on Apple Music. Or you can check out Spotify snippets below.

* RADHA from Season 15 tackles a weighty topic in “Won’t Stay Quiet,* her first single of 2020, released recently. In the prelude to her matching lyric video, RADHA writes that the song was written “in reflection of the injustices that have flooded the nation. Police brutality will not reform if we let them provoke fear upon us. We must speak up for change.” On instagram, she adds that “racism is the real pandemic” in the U.S. right now.

* Riley Biederer from Season 9 is featured on a new song called “Phone Calls with a Friend” that will appear on an upcoming EP being released by Carly Paige. According to Riley, Friday’s release is a stripped-down version of the song and “the perfect excuse to sing with my best friend on the windiest day in LA ever. She’s referring to the accompanying music video. Carly and Riley also co-wrote the song about friends helping friends through difficult times.

* Agina from Season 4 released a sexy new pop-dance single called “Body” recently. It’s the first single of 2020 for the singer who went by Agina Alvarez when she failed to turn a chair with her Season 3 blind audition but returned for Season 4 to earn a spot on Team Adam Levine. Agina says “Body” is also the first single off an upcoming EP.
