Tori Kelly is back with her
second album entitled, “Hiding Places”. This album has R&B mixed in with
some Gospel. The album kicks off with a track called, “Masterpiece” featuring
Lecrae. This song talks about how people think of her when she is off key and
her life isn’t always going good. This song is a declaration of wanting God to
make us a masterpiece and use the good and the bad and make us whole again.
Lecrae joins in later in the song and he discussed how we are masterpieces and
we don’t need to compare ourselves to others. I really loved how the song
begins with a chorus singing and how Tori Kelly voice just joins in and takes
the song to another level. It had a heavenly feeling to it and it makes you
want to get up and celebrate yourself and give your life to Christ.
Another favorite song was a
song called, “Questions”. This song has a piano playing throughout the song and
this song she questions God and how she struggles with the death season of
life. It covers topics about bombs, AIDS, and fighting around the world. It
also asks the question of what happens when the healing does ever come. This is
a very powerful song and it was much needed in the mist of all the chaos of the
world.
One of the singles off the
album was called, “Never Alone”. This song discussed about how we all go
through pain and storms of life and how we have all fallen. It also explored
how we all compare ourselves to one another and how God loves us for whose we
are. This song reminds that God is always there for us and how He is always
calling us His child. I love how this song included a choir and Kirk Franklin
joins in on the song to add a powerful gospel feeling to the song. This is
another track that had a get up and move vibe to the song.
Another favorite song was the
soulful song entitled, “Soul’s Anthem (It is Well)”. It contains some of the
classic song of “It is Well” but it’s also mixed with personal lyrics. This
song talked about how we need to reply on God when we are depressed and fear
from the enemy is trying to control us and trying to prevent us from living our
lives. I loved how Tori’s vocals shine through this track and this could be an
anthem declaring that no matter what happens it is well with our souls.
I would recommend this album
to anyone who loves R&B and Christian music. Tori Kelly has an amazing
voice that shines through each track. The lyrics are well written in a time
where Christians and non-Christians need hope and joy to come into their lives.
I loved how the album had songs you could move to and how it also had slow song
where you could peacefully worship the Lord. If you’re looking for a new album,
then check this one out!
