Tori has become one of music’s brightest stars using her powerful voice and buoyant spirit. Since her emergence in the 2010s, she’s racked up Platinum certifications and hundreds of millions of streams, lending her vocal talents to the Sing series and collaborating with a diverse breadth of artists like Justin Bieber, Jacob Collier, Jon Batiste, and Illenium. 

With her first full-length on Epic Records, TORI., the California-born two-time Grammy winner, is primed to show off her wide range of musical influences and personal inspirations, weaving together arresting grooves, unrelenting movement, and her love of Y2K-era pop and R&B.

Kelly gave listeners a preview of her new direction on tori, the sleek 2023 EP that featured the skittering, Timbaland-echoing “cut” and the glittery vocal showcase “missin u.” On TORI., she expands on that release’s promise in a way that warrants its all-caps, full-statement title, bringing together sounds from the late ’90s and early ’00s in creative, exciting ways that put perpetual motion at the forefront—with the throughline being Kelly’s strong, versatile voice. “I love and grew up with all these different sounds,” she says, “And now I can put my own spin on these things that I’ve been inspired by.”

TORI. is Kelly’s first full-length since 2019’s Inspired by True Events, a cathartic album that led to the singer-songwriter's artistic breakthrough.

“Inspired by True Events was very acoustic-feeling—a lot of live instruments, very heartfelt lyrics,” Kelly recalls. “I’d gone through a lot personally, and that’s just what came out of my soul.” Releasing it, she says, “felt so healing” and helped her process her emotions in a way that prepared her to dig into the rest of her artistic self.

Kelly’s music has touched millions worldwide, and with TORI. she opens herself up fully, bringing together big-chorus singalongs, throwback beats, and honest lyrics in a way that paints a striking, vibrant portrait. The album showcases the artist's musical sides that she has not shared with the world before. This truly definitive statement brings all of the unique layers of her artistry together in concert. “This feels like a self-titled moment,” she says. “I am ready to say, ‘This is who I am.’”
