TORI AMOS TO RELEASE 14th STUDIO ALBUM, UNREPENTANT GERALDINES ON MAY 13
WORLD TOUR INCLUDES CANADIAN DATES IN VANCOUVER AND TORONTO IN JULY & AUGUST
(TORONTO – 19 February, 2014) - Tori Amos is set to release her brand new studio album, Unrepentant Geraldines on May 13 via Mercury Classics / Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading Music Company. Unrepentant Geraldines is pop/rock in both content and feel and is a change in pace from Amos’ most recent releases. The album is both one step further in the 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.
Unrepentant Geraldines is Amos’ 14th studio recording, and a return to her core identity as a creator of contemporary songs, 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. Amos recently launched her most ambitious project to date as a composer, along with book writer Samuel Adamson, with the musical The Light Princes, which premiered at London's National Theatre in fall of 2013. Amos’ worldwide tour kicks off in May, with the North American leg launching in Vancouver in July. Fans will have exclusive access to a ticket pre-sale before the general public on-sale dates by pre-ordering Unrepentant Geraldines online. Once a pre-order for the album is placed through: myplaydirect.com/tori-amos, individuals will later receive a code to grant them access to pre-sales tickets for the Canadian show of their choice. Amos has sold over 12 million albums worldwide, has played over a thousand shows and has won numerous awards. She has pushed boundaries with her confessional style of songwriting since the release of her debut album in 1992, Little Earthquakes. Amos continues to be adored, picking up new fans along the way, romanced by her messages of empowerment, tenderness and acerbic assertiveness, and her peerless sound. A pioneer across multiple platforms, 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. 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.
