“I’ve never been more thankful for my home studio than I have duringthis season of being quarantined,” Kelly says. Self-recorded at home during the spring 2020 quarantine, the five-song effort sports a fresh musical outlook inspired by both the ’90s R&B she grew up with and her early days as an earnest, guitar-toting singer-songwriter. This year’s Solitude EP is the beginning of a new, happier chapter for Kelly, even if the circumstances in which it was created weren’t ideal. Following, with her multi-octave range and emotionalmight, the L.A.-area native then took home two Grammys - Best Gospel Album and Best Gospel Performance/Song - for her 2018 passion project Hiding Place and the uplifting single “Never Alone.” And with her third full-length, 2019’s Inspired by True Events, Kelly transformed tremendous personal loss into a brave and bracingly candid work that brought greater depth and maturity to her songwriting than ever before. That’s been true ever since she debuted with 2015’s breezy, soulful Unbreakable Smile, which entered the Billboard 200 at No.
Even as Tori Kelly evolves her artistry, her warm vocal presence and heartfelt lyrics remain at the core of what makes her one of pop’s most luminescent figures.
