Looks like a new song from Tori Kelly called "Hollow" will be released next week.

?!?!?!?!?! I'm ready! Hopefully they've realized her strengths are in the acoustic style of her earlier work and live performances, not so much the poppier sound of the album.
ETA: The international (UK, at least) release of the album is on Friday, but this isn't included - it's the same tracklist as what we got in June.

I really want her to blow up. She's right in the cusp. She just needs that one song. Hopefully this is that song.

With the way her career is panning out so far, she really reminds me of an American Jessie J. They've done a good job with getting her out there and exposing her talent, but the music is just not there. We'll see what happens with this.

I believe she is in a much better position that Jessie J. Her first week sales from her debut were respectable, and it seems as though she has pop radio on her side from the beginning, unlike Jessie, who had to release a KP reject to get any attention, and a multi-star collaboration to score a big hit. Although the first two singles were not big digitally, both reached Top 20 on Pop radio which says a lot.

Z100 premiere is supposedly around 9:45.
There's an AllAccess banner that says this impacts 11/2, but that's a Sunday, so I presume it's meant to be 11/4 and for pop (rather than 11/3 for HAC).

Ok. It's a nice song. Love the drums but it's still lacking that ohhhhmph. She's still better than this.

With I Was Made For Loving You under peforming, I think this is a really good follow up, top 10 maybe?

I don't think it will do anything on POP but radio loves her so who knows. I think it could do well on Christian Contemp. She introduced it as her song about her faith and Jesus Christ, etc. It is just not a very good song. I Was Made For Loving You is a million times better than this.

Yeah, not a bad song, but I don't see this being a big hit either. Hmph. With I Was Made For Loving You under peforming It never actually went to radio.

Nothing stands out about it at all. It'll probably peak in the teens at CHR/Pop like her other songs. I don't understand why they didn't just release "I Was Made for Loving You" as her third single...unless this is a one-off single or for a film or something.

It's a good track, but I think it lacks something. It could go either way though. Anyway, it's out on iTunes. Z100 premiere is supposedly around 9:45. I guess the time that Z100 New York tweeted was about the programme and not about the premiere. My bad! I don't understand why they didn't just release "I Was Made for Loving You" as her third single...unless this is a one-off single or for a film or something. Apparently, Unbreakable Smile will be re-released in the US and this will be the lead single of the re-issue. However, if this is indeed true, I find odd that her album was released in Europe last week without this track, as Kurt mentioned some posts above.

I've beaten this horse nearly as much as OOTW needing to be Taylor's next single. They should have released Dear No One!

Hollow is alright. Not a bad song but very bland, like 3/4 of Unbreakable Smile.

This is kind of terrible. If 'Should've Been Us' & 'Nobody Love' couldn't break her on radio then I'm not sure what will.

I love this. It's crazy how talented and likeable she is and she's still struggling to break through. Lyric video removed by user? Yeah...what's up with that? There was a spelling mistake apparently. They reuploaded it.

If everything about this song stayed the same and it was Taylor Swift singing everyone would be praising it, radio would be all over it day one, #1 on iTunes etc. So many other low charting (or non-charting) songs you can say that about (like Jess Glynne). Too bad. This song is epic.

This is when it gets frustrating.
Nevertheless she sounds fantastic. I can also see it peaking around the same area as the first two singles.

Can't get into this. Will give it a proper listen later, but I can't see myself enjoying it as much as the last two.
And top 15 is still a good peak!

3 early adds! :)
also, It's amazing that the album has been consistently selling well since release, despite the singles flopping

Her voice is INSANE on this song. This is how the album should have been sung!
Those "again" harmonies leading into the second chorus and then the absolute vocal demolition she serves at the end.. Lord.
PLEASE let this be a hit. Doubtful but she needs to be heard!
