Lead single “Never Alone” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Gospel Digital Song Sales chart and combined streams now exceed three million. Half of the songs on Hiding Place were penned by Franklin alone while the remaining tracks came from a collaboration between the two artists – the first time that Franklin had ever co-written in his decades-long career.

 

Kirk Franklin recalls, “It blew me away that she wanted us to co-write, because she’s a phenomenal songwriter and could’ve easily done it herself.”

 

“With gospel music, you can’t sing without all your heart being in it,” says Tori Kelly . “This album was an opportunity to do what I felt and never hold back. I could just be free and let the song take me over.”

 

The passion project follows Tori’s 2015 debut album Unbreakable Smile , which landed her on “Artist to Watch” lists from the likes of Rolling Stone . It entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 and contained the Gold-certified singles “Nobody Love,” “Should’ve Been Us” and “Hollow.” Unbreakable Smile has racked up more than one billion cumulative streams worldwide and sold 1.3 million adjusted albums. Following its release, Tori was nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best New Artist category and received the Billboard Women in Music Breakthrough Artist award.
