Two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum artist Tori Kelly delivers TORI. (+ a lil more), a deluxe edition of her 2024 album TORI. The expanded set includes four new songs, including collaborations with JoJo and Pink Sweat$, and new single “distance.”

TORI. (+ a lil more) arrives in the midst of Tori Kelly’s global tour, which kicked off this spring alongside the initial release of TORI. The Purple Skies Tour has taken Tori across Asia this summer, including stops in the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, and more, and is currently halfway through the second leg of the North American run. 

Tori will make stops in cities across the US and Canada through November, including Terminal 5 in New York, NY on November 16 and The Wiltern in Los Angeles, Ca on November 5. She will kick off a European run starting December 2 in Amsterdam, before concluding with Jacob Coulier in London on December 9. In addition, it was recently announced that Tori Kelly will join Ed Sheeran on tour next year in a string of arena dates across Europe starting in May 2025. See below for the full touring itinerary.  

Featuring a range of styles and sounds that showcase the true Tori, it is the star’s most versatile and vulnerable project yet, weaving together sonics and songwriting that represent the full picture of a woman coming into her own.  Truly warranting its all-caps, full-statement title, it brings together sounds from the late ’90s and early ’00s in creative, exciting ways that put perpetual motion at the forefront—with the throughline being Kelly’s strong, versatile voice. It is truly a full 360 vision of Tori Kelly. Period.

Adding to the story, the guitar-driven r&b-pop of “distance” and the finger-snapping earworm “u” perfectly add to the story. Apropos, Tori’s longtime friend JoJo joins her in a much-anticipated moment for fans in the pairing’s first-ever recorded collaboration in the rhythmic “bottomline.” “She's the best, and obviously one of the OG 2000s queens. When it comes to collaborations, we're brainstorming,” Tori teased fans earlier this year in People. Needless to say, when Tori officially confirmed the collaboration on socials last week, the fan excitement reached a fever pitch. Rounding out the new music is the slow-burning and vulnerable “beautiful war” with Pink Sweat$. See the updated tracklisting below.

Tori Kelly’s music has touched millions around the world, and with TORI. (+ a lil more) she opens herself up fully, bringing together big-chorus singalongs, throwback beats, and honest lyrics in a way that paints a striking, vibrant portrait. The album showcases all of the different musical sides of the artist that she has not shared with the world before, a truly definitive statement that brings all of the unique layers of her artistry together in concert.  “This feels like a self-titled moment,” she says. “I am ready to say, ‘This is who I am.’”

Don’t miss TORI. –now with a lil more – be brought to life on the stage across 2024 and 2025, and stay tuned for more from Tori Kelly, coming soon.
