With TORI., Tori Kelly expands upon the promise of her previous releases, seamlessly blending influences from the late '90s and early '00s into a sound both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
In the competitive world of pop music, artists need to evolve to make it to the top and stay there. And Tori Kelly looks to stay there with her fifth album, TORI., giving listeners the full spectrum of her talent. It’s a bold step forward for Kelly, who first hinted at her evolving sound with the acclaimed EP tori in 2023. From the pulsating rhythms of "missin u" to the soulful groove of "cut," she puts together a collection of songs that celebrate the power of perpetual motion, all anchored by her strong, versatile voice. It's a full-circle moment for Kelly, a true representation of her vision.
The album's lead single, "high water," is an anthem for uncertain times, blending Kelly's hair-raising vocals with a message of hope and perseverance. Reflecting on her own experiences, Kelly shares, "I thought I had covered it all until I had a health scare... 'high water' is about simply holding on and believing that there will be light at the end of the tunnel." It's a sentiment that so many of us can relate to.
