Cut: "Dear No One" (Tori Kelly)


Tori Kelly has really been making a name for herself over the last few months and while I rushed to purchase a copy of her sublime debut album Unbreakable Smile after her tribute to Smokey Robinson at the 2015 BET Awards, it was her 2014 bonus track cut "Dear No One" that has really caught my ear.

Released in 2013, "Dear No One" is a sublime mid-tempo and why this buzz single never really popped is beyond me because the lyrical content is on point and of course Tori's vocal delivery is spot on. With that said, take a listen below to Tori's "Dear No One" and Enjoy!

New Joint: "Should've Been Us" (Tori Kelly ft. Jeremiah)


Tori Kelly has slowly but surely been winning over the States with her brand of pop sensibilities matched with her soulful vocals and now the rising singer/songwriter has freshened up her new single "Should've Been Us" with an assist thanks to Jeremiah.

Jeremiah is one of R&B hottest crooners at the moment and the assist hopefully will branch out Tori Kelly's fanbase even further as she really is one of the most exciting new artists of 2015. Get into her duet with Jeremiah below on "Should've Been Us" and Enjoy!

Live Clip: "Should've Been Us" (Tori Kelly)


Last night during the 2015 VMAs  Tori Kelly had another riveting performance, this time of her current single "Should've Been Us."

Opting once again to put her talents center stage, Tori and her band rocked out and then Tori took it a cappella for the LA audience gathered there last night to once again show/prove why she is one of 2015's Best New Artists.

Watch her performance below and Enjoy!

Live Clip: "Should've Been Us" (Tori Kelly & Avery Wilson)


A few weeks ago on Sing! Karaoke by Smule, Tori Kelly and artist-on-the-rise Avery Wilson used the social media platform to duet on Tori's current single "Should've Been Us."

The two clearly have vocal chemistry from their duet and I would be interested in hearing what an original duet between the rising stars would sound like as both are blessed with some of the strongest vocals to come out of this new crop of singers.

With that said, peep their virtual duet on Tori's "Should've Been Us" below and Enjoy!

Live Clip: "Dear No One" (Tori Kelly)


Tori Kelly is one of 2015's breakout artists and while she's been slowly building her career for a few years now and I have a strong bet that she will be among the artists nominated later this year for a GRAMMY for Best New Artist.

With that said, while revisiting her solid debut album Unbreakable Smile, I was once again reminded of my favorite song from her "Dear No One" and you can watch her sublime acoustic performance of it from MTV's Artist To Watch series below!

Live Clip: "Keep on Singing My Song" (Tori Kelly)


I don't know about you, but the first time I heard Tori Kelly was over nine years ago when she was a preteen and performing a spirited rendition of Christina Aguilera's sublime cut "Keep on Singing My Song," which is lifted from her classic LP Stripped.

With that said, below you will find a young Tori belting out "Keep on Singing My Song" and if you haven't checked out her debut album Unbreakable Smile, it's worth a listen.
