Sounds like a vibe! Too bad her tori album didn’t get much buzz. Glad she’s pushing forward and releasing another material. Even though this is a gospel song, it sound like it can be sent on regular radio to appeal to the ever-day listeners. That African-inspired choir at the chorus were brilliant!
She’s really tapping into her black roots isn’t she?
Lets hope it just a phase.
Beautiful voice but her music is boring
keeps Blackfishing us…
She had been a White woman all her life, why wait until now to be Black…. When you are White woman, your music won’t sell. I don’t see how your music will sell even more now
Thanks anyway Tori.
I kinda like it. Sounds dated though, like it would fit an emotional scene in Dawson’s Creek. Flo makes similar music, but the difference is that it somehow has a freshness to it.
Beautiful black queen
