Porter, Gregory
All Rise (deluxe)
Gregory Porter, the world's best-selling contemporary Jazz/Soul artist with over 3 million worldwide album sales returns
with ALL RISE, his sixth studio album. The album 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
and gospel. Produce by Troy Miller (Laura Mvula, Jamie Cullum, Emili Sande), the set also represents the evolution of
Porter's art to something even more emphatic, emotive, intimate, and universal too. After 2017's Nat King Cole & Me,
Porter knew two things: one, he'd bring in an orchestra for his next LP, and two, the music is medicine. In the spirit
of that latter revelation, ALL RISE brims with songs about irrepressible love, plus a little protest, because the road
to healing is bumpy.
Since his world-beating 2013 Blue Note debut, 'Liquid Spirit', which won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album, Gregory
hasn't let down his legion of fans, whether collaborating with Disclosure on 'Holding On', releasing his dance hit
'Liquid Spirit - Claptone Remix' which became one of the most popular tracks in Ibiza, scoring another Grammy for 'Take
Me to the Alley' (2016), or telling his life story through Cole's songbook. Porter is still surprised by his runaway
success, but he has a theory: "I was soothed by my voice as a child and I think that's the same thing others get from
it. I'm trying to heal myself with these songs."
