Tori Kelly first rose to stardom at just 14 years old. The singer began posting cover videos onto her YouTube channel and instantly gained a following. After being signed to manager Scooter Braun in 2014, she then signed a contract with Capitol Records and released her first album Unbreakable Smile. The album would debut at number two on the Billboard 200 and earning her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
The singer also shared with fans a throwback to her YouTube days. Kelly released her own acoustic version of Drake’s song “Time Flies.” The rap song takes a lullaby turn, and this version will be featured on the upcoming EP.
Kelly explains that she had lots of fun creating this EP and is “excited to share this new chapter of my music.” You can pre-save Solitude on all music streaming platforms, and make sure to check out her cover of “Time Flies” on her YouTube channel.
