Now, she's taking her new music for a spin on the live stage, announcing the second leg of her headlining PURPLE SKIES Tour, hitting the stage at The Wiltern on November 9th.
The album follows her 2020 release "A Tori Kelly Christmas" which was her first holiday-themed album. In 2019, she released her deeply personal record "Inspired by True Events", featuring her singles "Change Your Mind", "Sorry Would Go a Long Way", and "Language". Now, her fighting spirit is back, and she's ready to share new songs that share her heart and soul.
This time, she's embracing full-on R&B. In a conversation with Grammy Awards, Tori shares her thoughts about her place genre-wise, explaining how she's explored different types of sounds over the years, "But at the same time, when I listen back, I see a through line: my voice. That has always been what connects my music and these different styles I love and are authentic to me. The way I sing and what I bring to a song is the grounds for everything."
As a self-titled record, it speaks volumes of who she is as an artist today. "I want to show versions of myself that have always been there but I haven't been able to express yet," she told Grammy Awards.
Her new EP and album shares her growth over the last four years. Talking to Billboard about how her 2019 release tackled sad and deeply personal struggles, "So growing from that, having a lot of healing, being in love and just wanting to express that feeling — this new wave of confidence..."
At the time of that Billboard interview, we've only has a brief preview of the record through her "Tori" EP, and she's proud to share "I think I’m in just this new place in my life where I’m willing to have a little more fun and experiment with sounds and style."
Now that we've got our hands on the full record, she's set to celebrate milestones of healing and growth with all her fans. Don't miss out on the PURPLE SKIES Tour by booking your tickets now!
