Tori Kelly - Tori (Deluxe) (2023) Hi-Res

Love in suspension, when you put up your guard / But I know I can make you believe / I’m the exception, Kelly’s velvet vocals deliver on the pining “cut.” The song picks up from delicate finger-picked acoustics to more fast-paced beats. Longing brews on “missin u,” which is treated to an “r&b edit” at the close of Tori. Denser pulses shift the mood on the afro beats-pulsed “unbelievable,” featuring Arya Starr and Kelly’s protective ode of “shelter”—Let me provide you a life raft / I know you’re alive, but you could be livin’ / If they try to bite, then I’ll bite back.
