This is her first full-length album since Inspired by True Events (2019), a cathartic and acoustic work.

In TORI., tracks like “thing u do” blend ‘90s R&B with live instrumentation and catchy hooks.The album closes with “high water,” an anthem of resilience inspired by a health crisis she experienced in 2023. Written after her hospitalization, the song seeks to inspire others through their own struggles.With TORI., Tori Kelly presents herself unfiltered, blending big choruses, nostalgic rhythms, and honest lyrics into an album that fully represents her artistic identity. “This is my self-titled moment. I’m ready to say: ‘This is me.’”"
