4. A Tori Kelly Christmas, 2020

A Tori Kelly Christmas' Is Out Now! | Nerds and Beyond

“Tori and her phenomenal voice are truly the true stars of the album. with 2 original songs, 10 holiday classics and 1 track from the movie Sing! (a cover), this album is all one can ask for a holiday album. though some of the songs are sonically rather similar, overall her take on the genre is delightful and well done. the usage of funky instrumentation really brings a lot joy to the tracks as compared to other artists that would prefer to put a darker spin on their covers. this upbeat take is definitely more welcomed personally, reminding and reminiscing of the cheers that Christmas brings.”

3. Inspired by True Events, 2019

1. Unbreakable Smile, 2015

Tori Kelly - Unbreakable Smile Lyrics and Tracklist | Genius

“Absolutely love her voice. She is so amazing and her riffs are at the top or equal to any singer in the business. This CD is full of Tori and it’s beautiful to hear. She’s fearless, open, soulful, sexy, and Rockin in her choices and style of songs. Her Title song Unbreakable smile is 100% Tori with her amazing smile and fierce determination. Her duet with Ed Sheeran is sweet and soulful. Should Have Been Us is Tori Rockin with that amazing voice and range! And Nobody Love, wow, what can you say but we love Tori Kelly! Nothing comes close to her live performances but you can see what a beautiful, accomplished singer she is on this CD.”
