According to USA Today, Tori Kelly has a single produced by Max Martin set for an early 2015 release preceding her debut full-length album. Can't find any more details except for a tweet that sort of suggested it might be titled "Money Don't Buy Love."

I have been checking on her since I discovered her on Youtube. Love her voice, just a tone I like. Won't lie Max Martin is not the direction i personally wanted her to go but I see its also a good commercial decision for her. I just noticed while scouting her on Youtube the things I like about her voice get drowned out in the production. Her playing her guitar is bliss but i can't expect her to see success as a acoustic or organic artist. I just hope they don't drown her out with generic beats at the very least.

This was the tweet I saw that made me think it was that title: Dug a little further and it turns out she and the other two background singers who just recorded for Tori are also the background singers in "Bang Bang," "Santa Tell Me," and a couple other Ariana songs. http://instagram.com/p/w0TkK6MUcz

Sounds good, so far. Those ladies are good singers too. Looking forward to this.

I've never heard of her before but, I like that 5 second snippet.

I've never heard of her before but, I like that 5 second snippet. Give her Foreword EP a spin - it's fantastic. This (predictably) sounds a bit more radio-friendly; not quite sold on it by the clip, but I'm sure I'll like it once it's out in full. Very glad to see iHeartRadio will be behind her.

Joi is an underground R&B legend in her own right and N'Dambi is just as critically acclaimed so it's nice to see Max has harnessed their vocal mastery to enhance pop perfection! /endrant
Back to Tori, I loved her EP so I'm ecstatic she's preparing to release her solo debut. She needs to be the next Meghan Trainor!

I wish Dear No One had been given the OTV treatment but hopefully I enjoy Nobody Love just as much.

She hits some clean ass runs. It reminds me of "Problem," from the clips. If they play their cards right, she's going to blow up this year.

Impacts February 10, according to R&R. These dates have me wondering if this is getting some sort of promo on GRAMMYs night - seems like it'd get lost in the shuffle otherwise (excluding the OTV airplay).

I understand that Tori Kelly is a different human being than Ariana Grande but creating music that is evocative of Ariana Grande isn't maybe going to be the best thing. We'll see how the whole song sounds.

I did hear similarities to Problem in there, but I will wait until the full song comes out before I judge, she is very talented though, and I like her previous material!

The first track of this curated playlist (shoutout to Bad Suns and Haitus Kaiyote and Emily King and Mayer Hawthorne though!) gives a preview that's a bit longer, though it's under Tori speaking:
ETA: Oh, and I also asked someone I know through Twitter who works at Capitol whether or not this was getting promo during the GRAMMYs telecast and she said it's not - just being released that night.

The chorus is amazing but I'm not here (yet?) for the rest of the song.

I don't love this like I thought I would; it sounds like a cousin of Problem.

Oooh this is good. The ending is really good and is probably the best part. Some parts of the verses are a little off-putting, but overall I like it.

I don't love this like I thought I would; it sounds like a cousin of Problem. Take "Problem", mate it with Natasha Bedingfield's "These Words", and this is their baby. :) Listened to this a couple times - it's not bad, but nor is it anything spectacular.
