CELEBRATING A DECADE OF SUCCESS
TWO-TIME GRAMMY-WINNING JAZZ-SOUL SINGER
GREGORY PORTER
ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF HIS COLLECTION
STILL RISING

A 34-TRACK DOUBLE ALBUM INCLUDING BRAND-NEW SONGS, COVERS, DUETS
AND A HANDPICKED SELECTION OF HIS MUCH-LOVED FAVORITES

STILL RISING IS OUT VIA BLUE NOTE RECORDS ON NOVEMBER 5
FIRST SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM “DRY BONES” BY TROY MILLER IS OUT TODAY

Gregory Porter’s new release Still Rising, due out November 5 on Blue Note Records, is an exquisite collection of musical delights. The first disc includes five brand-new tracks, two new arrangements, and nine of Porter’s most loved global tracks. The second disc features breath-taking covers and duets, boasting songs with Moby, Jamie Cullum, Jeff Goldblum, Renée Fleming, Dianne Reeves, Lalah Hathaway, Laura Mvula, Lizz Wright, and others. The new song and first single from the album “Dry Bones,” written and produced by Troy Miller (Diana Ross, Rag’n’Bone Man, Emeli Sandé), is available to stream or download today.

Of the collection, Porter says: “This is my music up until now, but it’s not a ‘Greatest Hits’. 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.”

Over the past decade, Porter has taken the world by storm, bringing Jazz to the masses and collecting numerous accolades and acknowledgements, including two GRAMMY Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album.

In 2019 the singer launched and hosted his own podcast, ‘The Hang’, which has amassed two successful seasons to date and played host to a range of celebrity guests. Earlier this year, Porter released ‘The PorterHouse with Gregory Porter’ Presented by Citi, a six-episode cooking series in which the singer shares recipes inspired by his local community, culinary experiences on tour and his own family cooking traditions.
