We hate having to hear Tori Amos compare herself to the new artists. What she has to offer no one can offer and she still remains better than most artists in the music industry. Tori, channel your energies into an album and don’t worry about the kids. By the way what happened to the instrumental album?

1. Greetings from Kuwait! Loft965.com picked your album It All Starts With One as an “Album to look forward to in 2011.” How do you feel about that and what do you think this year holds for you? 

I’m very proud and happy to hear that! I hope that as many people as possible will hear this album, because I’m very happy with it. I’m going to do my best to spread my music around the world. 

 

 

2. The first single “Do You Remember?” is a different sound from your other singles. What inspired this direction and what’s behind the song? 

The demo for this song is me playing a bass line on one string of a guitar. It’s a kind of melancholic love folk song, and this rhythm was already there in the bass line. But we decided to make it bigger, and we invited 3 drummers to the studio. I felt like making a production where you just can’t stand still. I hope everyone wants to move to it. 

 

 

3. You recently toured with Ani DiFranco, whom we love here at Loft965.com, how did you find the experience and should we look forward to more collaborations in the future? 

Ani DiFranco is a very lovely woman, and I’m a big fan of hers. She was my main inspiration when I first started playing guitar 12 years ago. I loved doing the gigs with her, and playing for her audience, and I hope that I can do it again in the future. 

 

 

4. What will be the next single from It All Starts With One and why did you choose it?

We chose “Worship” as the next single from the album. I love José Gonzales’ voice and I love this recording. It’s a bit hypnotizing.

 

 

5. We love quotes, what is your favorite quote or motto?

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” 

― Nelson Mandela
