“Come for the exuberant, doo-woppy R&B groove and the 22-year-old’s starmaking vocal acrobatics,” urged US Weekly. “Tori Kelly’s single ‘Nobody Love’ has got a bounce to it, blending Nineties R&B with pop-radio friendly EDM beats,” observed RollingStone.comSPIN.com called her “sensational” and noted, “‘Nobody Love’ is a proper Frankenstein’s monster of Top-40 horns and hooks without ever sounding reductive, thanks to its singer’s jazz-minded, emotion-studded harmonizing.” “Tori Kelly is a name you need to know. The singer, who’s amassed well over a million YouTube followers, is well on her way to becoming a pop icon,” noted SELF.com.

Born and raised in Temecula, California, Kelly got her start by making songs in her bedroom and posting them online. She first rose to attention when her cover of Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin Bout You,” went viral, racking up over 22 million views. Over the past year and a half, Kelly has sold out shows in several major cities (including The Troubadour and The Roxy in Los Angeles, the Bowery Ballroom and Gramercy Theatre in New York City and Bush Hall in London), headlined a sold-out, nine-city U.S. run and supported Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith on tour.
