Description
New music from the two-time Grammy Award winner!
Undeniably one of the best voices of our generation, two-time Grammy Award winning singing sensation Gregory Porter has announced an April 17 release date for his sixth studio album All Rise.
Following 2017's Nat King Cole & Me, a loving dedication to his lifelong idol, All Rise marks a return to Porter's beloved original songwriting — heart-on-sleeve lyrics imbued with everyday philosophy and real-life detail, set to a stirring mix of jazz, soul, blues, gospel, and pop. The album also represents the evolution of Porter's art to something even more emphatic, emotive, intimate, and universal too.
"Yes, you could say that I went big," says Porter about his latest, which combines the talents of his longtime loyal bandmates, a handpicked horn section, a 10-member choir, and the London Symphony Orchestra Strings. "But, quite frankly, the way I write in my head, it all happens with just voice and piano first, and it's built up from there. It feels good to get back to the rhythms and the styles and the feelings and the way that I like to lay down my own music from start to finish."
