Tori Amos is an American pianist and singer-songwriter whose musical career began in 1980, at the age of seventeen, when she and her brother co-wrote the song "Baltimore". The song was selected as the winning song in a contest for the Baltimore Orioles and was recorded and pressed locally as a 7" single
Native Invader is an intense feast of melody, protest, tenderness and pain. In the summer of 2016, Tori took a road trip through North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains. The intention was to reconnect with the stories and songlines of her mother’s family, who were from the North Carolina and Tennessee Smoky Mountain area. That winter, two seismic events knocked the plan off its axis. The fall out from the US Election. And in January her mother, Maryellen Amos, suffered a severe stroke leaving her unable to speak.
Rarely does a first album blow me away in the way that Little Earthquakes did; I still think about listening to this in college and thinking "wow". Still, decades later, Little Earthquakes still shakes things up with pointed songs and unique lyrical play that has become the sign that something is produced/written by Tori Amos.
Singer-songwriter Tori Amos is one of the most influential women in music. She scored four platinum albums in the 90s and was included on VH1's list of 100 Greatest Women in Rock 'n' Roll. The classically-trained musician just released her 15th album, "Native Invader," which her daughter also sings on. Amos began studying piano at age five and while music came naturally, her songs, she told CBS News' Anthony Mason, sometimes come from another world entirely. It's not as if I hear voices, but I call them the muses.
One song or an album can serve as a lifeline or platform for multitudes and, in the case of Tori Amos' s remarkable 1992 album Little Earthquakes - which marked its 25th anniversary this past winter - a galvanzing shift in cultural, gender and sociopolitical conversation. Me and a Gun," the first single from her debut solo album, is about rape - her horrific rape at the age of 21. At the time of the song's release in late 1991, the maelstrom of grunge was rock radio's reflection of American (and primarily male) depression, anger and distress. She was initially more successful in the UK than the States; male voices have always outnumbered female ones on American, d rock or alternative rock radio.

American Doll Posse, with its great title, 23 tracks, and five archetypal personalities (all of whom resonate with feminine gods in the Greek and Roman pantheons) is an exercise in both excess and obsession. For starters, each of these personalities has her own blog. All of them have a distinct look. There's Pip with her streetwise standoff-ishness who sings about how her "Teenage Hustling" serves her in her adult life; she is also a very clever and intense "observer" (another important word for this record) of the political and surveillance situation in the .
