Tori Kelly's vibrant, R&B-tinged pop pairs the hopeful message of gospel music with the slinky beats of 21st-century soul. Her powerful pipes and positive outlook set her debut, Unbreakable Smile—particularly its strutting, Kelly-penned title track—apart from its peers. After a sparkling turn in 2016's animated blockbuster Sing, Kelly returned to the church: she collaborated with gospel powerhouses like Kirk Franklin and The HamilTones on the modern-sounding yet worship-minded Hiding Place, which showcases her forceful soprano and undaunted optimism on hymns old and new.
