Today, Gregory Porter has released his sixth studio album All Rise.

All Rise has been released on Decca / Blue Note Records, and was originally due out on April 17th.

Following on from his 2017 album ‘Nat King Cole and Me’, this new project sees the Grammy-winning singer return to original songwriting with help from British production team Oli Rockberger and Troy Miller. The album was recorded here in the UK with an 8-piece band and a 10-strong choir.

Reflecting on the new album, Gregory said that for me, "it’s the message of walking into this life and having some fear and self-doubt, and the point where you grab onto something that you know is real, the silent and real things, the truth… Once you can wrap onto the truth then this fearlessness comes.”
