Tori Amos is back and abnormally attracted to sin!

[joyfulgirl]

If I remember correctly -- after one listen AND when you're in a bad mood!

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I still don't have Midwinter Graces. All I could find at the store was the deluxe edition, and I just want the plain version.

 

[bono_man2002]

Too many close ups on the bonus dvd eh?

My iTunes keeps playing "Fast Horse" from AATS on shuffle, and I find I quite like it now. It's got a bit of a Scarlet vibe to it.

Just though I'd share.

Fast Horse

There's a lot on AATS that I like more so now, say a month or two ago? That said, finally seeing her live got me more into her back catalouge than I ever have been.

 

[Saracene]

I've been listening to lots of Tori as well recently

Not that anybody probably cares.

The London Evening Standard and the BBC revealed today that Tori’s musical based on George MacDonald’s The Light Princess is scheduled to take the stage in London in April of 2012. It’s been a while since we wrote about it, so here’s a quick refresher: The Light Princess tells the story of a girl who is exempt from the laws of gravity, and who winds up disconnected from Earth for most of her childhood. According to the BBC, Tori’s production still has no title.

Popmatters gave it a glowing review yesterday:

Tori Amos: Midwinter Graces < Reviews | PopMatters

Those fears—and more—were certainly in effect upon first listen to Tori Amos’ Midwinter Graces. Imagine, then, the surprise to find that a holiday album is Amos’ best work in years. For some reason, it took a holiday album for her to transcend the pitfalls that have marked her last few albums—releasing over-long albums with uneven song quality and splotchy production has been a familiar refrain with critics and fans of her work alike. But Midwinter Graces is 12 tracks long, a perfect length, and most of the production is spot-on. Gone is the dreaded AutoTune that botched some of the songs on Amos’ last original album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. Gone, for the most part, are the overly-layered backing vocals that cluttered the sonic landscapes of many a song on Amos’ past four releases.

She doesn't even need it. She's a classically trained singer

I haven't listened to that CD enough to notice the auto-tune, but I would guess she used it for effect, for that particular sound, rather than because she can't sing on pitch.

 

[Cactus Annie]

I'm not against it being used as an effect.

I was very naughty 3-2 years ago. Do you forgive me?

 

[bono_212]

3 to 2 years ago or 32 years ago?

 

[Cactus Annie]

3 or 2 or 1 and a half years ago I was a very naughty girl. Please forgive me. It's taken me this long to learn the error of my ways. I was wrong

 

[bono_212]

I got you.

Well, I forgive you, Annie.

 

[Cactus Annie]

Thank you Bono_212

I'm not big on starting new threads, but she does have new songs out, a new album out soon, and the tour has started. (To which I am going to the Seattle show on July 17th! )

She did this at the opening show of the tour, in Cork.
