New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Universal Music Classics) One of the most accomplished and respected artists, songwriters and performers of the last 20 years,
Tori Amos has announced the release of a brand new album, Unrepentant Geraldines, in spring 2014.
Unrepentant Geraldines, Tori Amos' 14 th studio album, will be supported by an extensive world tour starting May 7 th 2014 in Dublin and heading across
Europe including shows at London's Royal Albert Hall and dates in Berlin , Paris , Amsterdam , Moscow , Warsaw and other major cities. Dates in the U.S. and the rest of the world will follow later in 2014 and will be confirmed soon.
Unrepentant Geraldines is a return to her core identity as a creator of contemporary songs of exquisite beauty following a series of more classically-inspired and innovative musical projects of the last four years. These have included the seasonal collection Midwinter Graces , the classically influenced Night of Hunters, and Gold Dust , a collection of orchestral re-workings of songs from across her career. Released in October 2012 Gold Dust included " Flavor," which was remixed by the late DJ
Peter Rauhofer and peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Club Dance Chart in February 2013 .
Last month
Tori Amos also launched her most ambitious project to date as a composer, along with book writer Samuel Adamson , when their musical The Light Princess premiered at London's
National Theatre for the start of an initial run which is confirmed until at least February 2014 . At the prestigious UK Evening Standard
Drama Awards earlier this month The Light Princess was nominated for Best Musical and leading lady Rosalie
Craig won the Best Musical Performance category.
Fueled by this array of unique projects and experiences Unrepentant Geraldines is both one further step in the artistic evolution of one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation and a return to the inspiring and personal music that Amos is known for all around the world.
Tori Amos has sold over 12 million albums, has played over a thousand shows and has won numerous awards. Since the release of her debut album
Little Earthquakes 21 years ago in 1992 where she pushed boundaries with her confessional style of songwriting, Amos continues to be adored, picking up new fans along the way, romanced by her messages of empowerment, tenderness, acerbic assertiveness, and of course her utterly peerless sound.
A pioneer across multiple platforms,
Tori Amos was the first major label artist to offer a single for download. She has had her songs turned into graphic novels and has produced groundbreaking videos throughout her career. Ms. Amos is also a noted humanitarian and co-founder of RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest
National Network), which is the United States' largest anti-sexual assault organization.
Unrepentant Geraldines will be released on Mercury Classics internationally and on Mercury Classics/Universal
Music Classics in the US.
