Sixth studio album by the American jazz singer. 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. Produced by Troy Miller (Laura Mvula, Jamie Cullum, Emeli Sandé), the set also represents the evolution of Porter’s art to something even more emphatic, emotive, intimate, and universal too.
With his sixth album, Gregory Porter excels once again in perfectly blending jazz, soul, rhythm’n’blues, pop and gospel. In addition to being blessed with a voice of pure velvet (so cliché, but so true), the Californian, who knows Great Black Music inside out, is also a real wordsmith. In these troubled times, Gregory Porter’s music refreshes and rejuvenates, like on “Revival Song,” a sort of neo-gospel hymn that ignites the soul and frees the body. This sense of wellbeing can also be felt when Porter puts on his crooner hat on “If Love Is Overrated” or when he channels his inner Marvin Gaye and George Benson on “Faith In Love.” Brilliantly produced by Troy Miller (Laura Mvula, Jamie Cullum, Emili Sandé), All Rise propels the American singer towards greater global recognition, reaching audiences well outside the jazz sphere. – Max Dembo
