Associated Press hailed A Tori Kelly Christmas as “STUNNING, SENSATIONAL, EXTRAORDINARY and PHENOMENAL.” The album also appeared on the Best New Holiday Music of 2020 lists of Entertainment Weekly and Refinery29. The Los Angeles Daily News said it’s “a sleek shiny package that fans won’t want to wait until Christmas to open.” Idolator noted, “it’s destined to be an instant Christmas classic.”
Since making her debut with 2015’s Unbreakable Smile – a widely acclaimed album that entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 – Tori has lit up the pop landscape with her breathtaking vocals and full-hearted songwriting, amassing nearly 2.5 billion combined global streams to date. With her 2018 passion project Hiding Place, the L.A.-based artist continued to captivate audiences and took home two prizes at the 2019 GRAMMY Awards: Best Gospel Album and Best Gospel Performance/Song for the hit single “Never Alone.”
On her powerfully personal 2019 album, Inspired By True Events, Kelly offered up her bravest and most bracingly candid work to date. She supported the album with a 2019 U.S. tour and an early 2020 U.K. run. In August 2020, Tori released Solitude, a five-song EP that she recorded at home during quarantine.
