Gregory Porter - Still Rising

180-gram vinyl

Two-time Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Gregory Porter's new release Still Rising, is an exquisite collection of musical delights. This LP features the tracks, "I Will," "Real Good Hands," "My Babe," "It's Probably Me," "No Love Dying," "Bad Girl Gone," and "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" pressed on 180-gram heavy vinyl.

Not only is it Porter's first compilation, but the album includes five brand new tracks and two new arrangements, alongside existing favorites, covers and duets.

"This is my music up until now, but it's not a ‘Greatest Hits,' says Porter. "They often come at the end of someone's career, and I still feel new and young in mine. I have much more to say. There is always something in an artist's career that people don't know about; I wanted to bring it to their attention.

"The album title echoes my last one, All Rise, because I am reiterating something evident in my music and the new songs here — this upward-looking optimism about life and love. It's an unfinished story for me, both musically and personally. And I'm still learning how to do this. Still rising."

The five new tracks are led by the new single "Dry Bones," written & produced by Troy Miller (Diana Ross, Rag'n'Bone Man, Emeli Sandé). Those are joined by two new arrangements and nine of Porter's best-loved songs. Also featured are songs with Paloma Faith, Moby, Jamie Cullum, Jeff Goldblum, Ella Fitzgerald, and many more.
