I had recently told my oldest girl I wanted to hear more Tori Kelly music because I really love her with Lacrae on his “I’ll Find You,” which we hear on the radio a lot. My youngest girl has watched “Sing” more times than I could even count, so we’re also familiar with Tori as Meena.
Needless to say, I was excited to have some new Tori Kelly music to play around our house. Tori’s voice is so soothing and strong on her “Hiding Place” album. She was a wonderful companion while I cooked and cleaned the kitchen.
Here are the eight tracks on this new album:
- Masterpiece featuring Lecrae
- Help Us To Love featuring The Hamiltons
- Sunday
- Just As Sure featuring Jonathan McReynolds
- Psalm 42
- Questions
- Never Alone featuring Kirk Franklin
- Soul’s Anthem (It Is Well)
“Psalm 42” is a beautiful reminder of how Jesus quenches our thirsty souls. “Sunday” is about our everyday hallelujahs and need for grace regardless of the day. “Soul’s Anthem (It Is Well)” is a beautiful song of trust.
About the album
Tori Kelly’s new album “Hiding Places” honors her deepest musical passion and delivers an album that’s infused with R&B infused and is a melodic take on classic gospel music. She has teamed up with 12-time Grammy Award-winning gospel artist Kirk Franklin on this one and the first single features him. In fact, half of the songs were written by Franklin. The other tracks were a collaboration between him and Kelly. This is the first time Franklin has ever co-written in his decades-long career that’s seen his songs performed by legends like Stevie Wonder and Whitney Houston.
The album officially releases Sept. 14, 2018 from Schoolboy Records & Capitol Records. You can buy it on Amazon or wherever else music is sold. You can also watch the official “Never Alone” video.
