Her recent commitments to the label gives the term "full circle" a whole new meaning, after having studied the Motown sound as a child. "It is so surreal," says the still in shock Stori. The New Jersey native plans to let her life experiences be the driving force behind her music. Stori reflects, "Throughout the years I've bounced from situation to situation.... and every time a door closed, immediately, another one opened." It was one of those doors that put Stori in front of Jae Hill the CEO of Nextday Entertainment. It was then that she started developing her current sound including rap verses to her melodies; with that new electric sound she penned “Just Another Day,” an ode to New Jersey and Queen Latifah. With a catalog of hits she plans on unleashing something game changing in the years to come. (Google "Storimusic" for more great music and beautiful visuals)
Working on her album is paramount in Stori's life at the moment, while honing her stage presence Stori plans to leave no stone unturned on this journey. She has perfected her writing abilities penning complete songs like "Just Another Day." Stori wants people to not only relate to her music but go through an experience as well. Stori has worked with Taj Jackson of Nextday Entertainment as well as going through what she called vocal boot camp with renowned vocal coach Craig Derry (Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, etc.). Stori has goals and milestones in the forefront of her thinking,including live performances, and exciting visuals in her near future Stori's well laid plan is being actualized. Since putting ink to paper it has become more and more evident that her years of "the grind" was just the tip of the iceberg. Label life for this talented young artist in just a few short weeks has proven to be surmountable in comparison. "The work has just begun" says Stori "and I looks forward to every second of it."

Stori Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She don't need anything on her face
She wakes up all perfect
More power to the chick that wake up and don't need
a dayummm thing
But what about the rest of us
"What about us?"
I wanna fierce that (yeah girl) outta of you
Lipstick it get it good
Booty drama behind. Jealous B rewind
Fierce me up and down
Ty-Ty me round and round
I'm racking up the bank signs.The bank signs.The bank signs.The bank signs.
The lyrics to Stori's song BOOTYful are all about celebrating natural beauty and the desire to feel fierce and confident. The opening lines, "She's a natural beauty, she don't need anything on her face," speak to the idea that some people are just naturally stunning without any need for makeup or other beauty products. The singer then goes on to acknowledge and embrace this fact, saying "More power to the chick that wake up and don't need a dayummm thing." However, she also acknowledges that not everyone is blessed with this kind of natural beauty, asking "But what about the rest of us?" and expressing a desire to get fierce and glamorous.
The chorus of the song is all about empowering oneself and feeling confident and sexy. The lines "Booty drama behind. Jealous B rewind. Fierce me up and down. Ty-Ty me round and round" all point to the idea of pushing aside any negative thoughts or insecurities and embracing one's own unique beauty and sexiness. The repetition of "the bank signs" at the end of the song emphasizes the idea that feeling good about oneself and exuding confidence can ultimately lead to success and financial gain.
