Tori Kelly performs faith album at NPR Tiny Desk

Christian artist Tori Kelly performed seven songs on NPR's Tiny Desk this week, including six tracks from her latest album God Must Really Love Me, released in June. Kelly played guitar and glockenspiel alongside an all-woman band in the intimate studio setting, which offers no effects, lighting, or crowd to hide in — just the musician and NPR staff before a bookshelf. The set included "Hurts So Good," "Without You," "Fly," "Bird," "Control," and "Tokyo," plus a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing," which Kelly explained she performed because she voiced the character Meena the elephant in the animated film Sing and wanted to perform Meena's song from the movie. When introducing "Bird," Kelly described writing from vulnerability, saying she was hit with anxiety and put those feelings into the track. God Must Really Love Me is Kelly's sixth album. Her previous gospel project, Hiding Place, made with Kirk Franklin in 2018, won her a Grammy Award.
