* Riley Biederer from Season 9 released “heaven/heartaches,” a five-song EP on Friday. Four of the songs had already been released individually. “Emotion” is the new track that dropped with the EP. Writes Riley on Instagram: “When I started making the music for this EP, I had no idea what it would turn into. While I was writing out all of the changes and moments of anxiety/love/heartbreak/nostalgia I was dealing with, consistently battling with the highs & lows, I realized that you can’t really have one without the other — the up’s the downs, the good the bad, the happy the sad, the heaven and the heartaches.” The standout track is the wonderfully addictive “Love Sucks.”

* Citizen Queen celebrated the group’s second birthday by releasing their first original single, “Call Me Queen” on Friday. The five-girl group has been releasing a cappella covers to this point. Citizen Queen includes Hannah Mrozak from Season 13; she also appeared on American Idol. Oh, and there’s a “Call Me Queen” music video too.

* Agina (Alvarez) from Season 4 released “IDWLH,” short for “I Don’t Want to Love Him,” on Friday. Writes Agina: “I wrote this over a year ago, and it was made with a heavy heart but with hope I would be OK.. and I am better.” She was also back on TV recently, singing on the new FOX show “I Can See Your Voice.” As for the new single, there’s a “IDWLH” music video too.
