Best new artist you should check out
Tori Kelly
She is not a newcomer actually but she is a gem that has been hiding for her time to shine. This year has been kind to Tori Kelly,
to say the least. As 2015 opened, the California-born, YouTube-bred
singer-songwriter was one of many pop-star hopefuls prepping to release
their full-length debut album. She had buzz, an A-list manager (Scooter
Braun) and a high-profile appearance on Pentatonix's blockbuster holiday
album That's Christmas to Me to her.
Fortunately for Kelly, she landed with a splash, and her career has been on the upswing since, culminating in a recent nomination for the best new artist Grammy. But even back in June, when her studio debut dropped, she was quietly defying expectations. Unbreakable Smile debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, breezing past its predicted 65,000-70,000 album equivalent sales to net 75,000 album equivalent units.
