two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum artist Tori Kelly releases her new EP, tori. Listen HEREvia Epic Records. Included on the 7-track set is the hitmaker’s latest single “cut,” a soulful gem that sparkles with Kelly’s commanding vocals and infectious hooks.
Among the many standouts on the Jon Bellion-produced EP is “shelter,” a dancey, mood-piece set to a booming beat, and the critically acclaimed lead single “missin u,” an ultra-modern take on turn-of-the-century pop and r&b. Other notable tracks include “alive if I die,” a piano-driven anthem that nods to the booming, buoyant pop of the ‘80s and ‘90s, the afrobeats-infused “unbelievable” featuring Ayra Starr, and new single “cut.” The acclaimed artist’s latest hit is a rapid-fire sonic concoction packed with infectious melodies and a heart-racing beat.
“Love in suspension, when you put up your guard, but I know I can make you believe,” Kelly coos over guitar-picking arrangements on “cut.” “I’m the exception, hit the drum on your heart — baby, we caught a rhythm.” In no time, the track explodes into high gear with the vocalist belting over fast-paced percussion and ornate strings. Stay tuned for the official music video, premiering soon.
Needless to say, the anticipation for tori is reaching a fever pitch. Billboard recently praised “her signature vocal acrobatics and chill-inducing runs” upon the release of “missin u,” while People highlighted her “bold new sound” and how she “expertly channels the bubbly pop-R&B sound and colorful, hyper-real aesthetic that dominated 2000s MTV culture.” Teen Vogue may have summed it up best: “Tori Kelly season is here, and it feels wonderful.”
Withtori, one of music’s greatest talents is poised to soar to new heights, carried by a collection of new songs that absolutely demand to be heard.
