Gregory
Porter – All Rise
2-time
GRAMMY-winning vocalist Gregory Porter is back with his 6th studio
album All Rise. For those of you who did not know this, Porter as a
best-selling contemporary Jazz/Soul artist with over 3 million album sales. This album marks a return to his beloved
songwriting - heart-on-sleeve lyrics imbued with everyday philosophy, set to a
stirring mix of jazz, soul, blues and gospel. All Rise represents his artistic
revolution to something even more emphatic and intimate. It brims with songs
about irrepressible love, plus a little protest, because the road to healing is
bumpy. The album’s
uplifting lead single “Revival” is out now. Following 2017's loving tribute
album Nat King Cole & Me, ALL RISE marks a return to Porter's beloved
original songwriting featuring heart-on-sleeve lyrics imbued with everyday
philosophy and real-life detail, set to a stirring mix of jazz, soul, blues,
gospel, and pop. All Rise is set for release on April 17.
