Riley’s highly anticipated sophomore album, Godsend, was released in 2021, and it quickly established Riley as an artist to watch thanks to praise from Rolling Stone and People Magazine, appearances on the TODAY Show, FOX & Friends, the Grand Ole Opry, and the virtual SHEIN X ROCK THE RUNWAY fashion show in 2021. The lead single, “Fighting for Me,” became her best-performing song with 160 million plays globally, while the song “Keep On Hoping,” which debuted in the Top 20 on the Billboard and MediaBase Radio charts and received more than 5 million streams in its first eight weeks, became her fastest-growing hit.
