Gregory Porter Announces New Album w/ Spellbinding In-Studio Performance
Last year, Gregory Porter proved he could shake the club just as hard as a smoke-stained bandstand with his four-to-the-floor Disclosure collaboration, "Holding On." For 2016, however, he's announced a follow-up to his platinum-certified, Grammy-winning, Liquid Spirit LP, a return to the organix that cemented him as one of the brightest voices in music, genre-be-damned.
On May 6th, Porter will release his fourth studio album, Take Me To The Alley, but the announcement comes paired with a 1-mic, 1-take in-studio performance of the new single "Don't Lose Your Steam" live in-session at Capitol Studios. Watch Gregory Porter howl through the bluesy new single in the clip below, pre-order your copy of his Take Me To The Alley LP on iTunes today and peep his full docket of forthcoming tour dates while you're down there.
