In The Spotlight

Tori Cross – “Deepest Fear”

Hailing from Birmingham, this British singer and songwriter attended a performing arts academy in her hometown, before making a move to Liverpool to study music at university. She’s established herself on the music scene as a backing singer and songwriter for various artists. Also a LIMF Academy alumna, she’s performed at the LIMF Festival, as well as Sofar Sounds. Inspired by strong voices like Corrinne Bailey Rae, Amy Winehouse and Lianne La Havas, she debuted with “Looking Up” in 2018.

Chronicling the complex ups and downs and emotional turmoil relating to toxic relationships, her new single weaves a delicate sonic tapestry of smooth R&B and silken soul. Starting the song with a mild, minimal beat and her enchanting voice, it soon picks up tempo with lively drums, striking guitars and luminous piano chords. Accompanied by luscious backing harmonies, it’s her ravishing dreamy vocal tone effortlessly gliding over the tune that makes this an ear-catching pearl.
