#NewMusic: Riley Releases Self-Titled Debut EP, Performs on ‘The TERRELL Show’

Riley is here! Riley, PKA Amber Riley, has just released her debut EP by the same name. The six-track EP features her previous single “BGE” (Big Girl Energy), and carried that energy throughout the project.

Riley delivers a solid debut project, and touches on multiple topics including: confidence, love and self love, appreciating Black men, memories of childhood, “creeping,” and more. “Hood Living,” her song with BJ The Chicago Kid, is a beautiful melodic addition. Acknowledging their roots, they compliment each other well. “Ride” is a message to Black men, showing support.

Riley Tracklist:

  1. BGE
  2. Temporary
  3. Creeping
  4. Ride
  5. Hood Living (Riley & BJ The Chicago Kid)
  6. A Moment
