Let’s dive into her newest track!
The track begins with a sweet melody of guitar strings playing with an early 2000s r&b/pop tone. As the song continues, the beat gets louder and happier. The choir joins in and the song turns into a gospel. Listening to the song, it gives you so much positivity and encouragement. The best way to describe this song would be the ending of a movie where the character happily drives off into the sunset.
High Water is all you need to remind yourself that everything will be okay. No matter how hard things may get, there always will be a new day, a new tomorrow. There will always be a light at the end of each tunnel. Tori’s music has always been so uplifting with powerful messages behind each song.
“Something is coming in the morning
If I can make it through the night
whatever comes hell or night
I know what’s on the other side.”
These specific lyrics are repeated throughout the track as if Tori is repeating these words to herself to remind herself to keep going. High Water is a song that helped Tori heal from her hospitalization last year. In an exclusive with People, she explained how this new single was created to inspire and uplift her out of that dark moment in her life which was her health scare. “I had a health scare last year, so I thought my album was done, and then when that happened I was like, ‘I need an inspirational song. I need something to kind of pick me out of this place. Now I just hope it can uplift other people as well when they hear it.”(People)
From the initial reactions from fans, Tori can rest assured that her new song has raised her listeners’ spirits. The song is short but powerful. Paired with her powerful voice, and captivating words, it’s a song I know many, including myself, will be playing on our worst days and our best days. It will serve as a reminder to keep on going and that you can overcome anything.
Along with the release of High Water, Tori Kelly announced her Purple Skies Tour. This 12 city tour begins on April 12th, with pre-sales starting on February 13th!
