Tori Kelly Hiding Place Review #tkhidingplace #flyby

I received this album free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 

For those of you wondered like I did, who was the voice behind the character Meena in Sing, wonder no more. It was Tori Kelly and until then I had not heard of her, but I sure should have with the amazing voice she has. This talented young lady is out now with her own album, Hiding Place and just like the songs she sings in Sing that have me bouncing around and joining her, her new album makes me do the same thing.

With its R&B-infused, deeply melodic take on classic gospel, Hiding Place offers up what Franklin refers to as “hope-pop”—a classification that fully resonates with Kelly. “One of the things I want for this album is for people to feel uplifted and encouraged when they listen,” she says. “I want them to know that, no matter what they’re going through, there’s a God who loves them so much and so unconditionally, and there’s always a reason to feel hope. That’s what I really believe in, and I want everyone out there to hear my heart.”

As Kelly explains, the title to Hiding Place draws inspiration from a line in one of her favorite psalms (“You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with songs of deliverance”). “That always stuck with me: this idea of God being a place of safety, a place where you can hide from all the crazy things that this world can throw at us,” she notes.

This is an album to make you feel good and also remember that when things get crazy, You Are Not Alone.
