It’s official. Today, we woke up to an email from Tori Amos‘ mailing list telling us that, aside from the fact that the musical she is working on is almost ready, the diva is ready to unleash a new album titled Night Of Hunters, currently slated for a September release. The album is going to be a magnifying look at classical music, a genre Tori Amos has loved forever.
Here’s what she had to say about it: ”It’s a 21st century song cycle inspired by classical music themes spanning over 400 years. I have used the structure of a song cycle to tell an ongoing, modern story. The protagonist is a woman who finds herself in the dying embers of a relationship. In the course of one night she goes through an initiation of sorts that leads her to reinvent herself allowing the listener to follow her on a journey to explore complex musical and emotional subject matter. One of the main themes explored on this album is the hunter and the hunted and how both exist within us.”
As if this wasn’t enough, Tori Amos has also announced a tour to go along with it! Click below for the dates.
Love, Save The Empty is Erin McCarley’s debut album and it is a mixture of pompous folk and moody rock. It is like a cross between Sheryl Crow, KT Tunstall and Chantal Kreviazuk. My current favorites are “Blue Suitcase” and “Sticky Sweet.” I watched he perform live on David Letterman and she was great. I am looking forward to listening more.
