Tori Kelly just announced that she will release a brand new album which will be out later this year and her first single off her new era was inspired by the time when she had a medical emergency then taken to a hospital.
According to Rolling Stone, the musician's next record is titled "TORI," a self-titled one, which is the follow-up to her 2020 LP "A Tori Kelly Christmas."
The new project, which is her first under her record contract with Epic, will be available for purchase and streaming on major music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music starting on April 5, 2024.
"I have been working on my next album for the last few years, exploring new sounds & expressing so many different sides of myself," she said of her new album.
She also explained that the record will be a "truly full 360 vision" of herself and regarding its tracks, it will be a combination of sounds from the late 90s to the early 2000s in "creative exciting ways."

What Happened to Tori Kelly?
Last year, Tori Kelly went out with friends in downtown Los Angeles. Later that evening, she reportedly complained that her heartbeat was beating too fast to the point that she fainted.
Her friends later drove and took her to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in West Hollywood instead of calling an ambulance. (via Page Six)
It was then later reported that doctors found blood clots in her legs and lungs.
A few months later, she spoke with Jennifer Hudson on her talk show to reveal that it was a scary experience, but luckily, her friends and family were there for her.
