Tori Kelly Releases God Must Really Love Me, Blending Gospel, Pop, and R&B

Tori Kelly released God Must Really Love Me on June 12, 2026, a project that blends gospel, pop, and R&B. The album centers on themes of grace, spiritual conviction, and personal faith.

Kelly, who won a Grammy for Best Gospel Album in 2019 for Hiding Place, returns to faith-based music with this project. The album was announced in May 2026 alongside a tour announcement.

The record draws on Kelly's background in pop music while leaning into gospel influences. Songs on the album address personal struggles, spiritual growth, and the experience of feeling loved by God through difficult seasons.

Kelly has spoken publicly about her faith journey, including a health scare in 2023 when she was hospitalized with blood clots. She has credited her recovery to prayer and her Christian faith, and said the experience shaped much of the material on this album.

The June 12 release puts Kelly's project in the middle of a strong month for gospel music. CeCe Winans released The Hymns on June 5, and LaShá Knox debuted Testify Vol. 1 the same day. The Choir Room's single "Love Never Fails" featuring Fred Hammond also reached number one on gospel radio charts in June.

Kelly is scheduled to tour in support of the album through the fall of 2026.
