*TORI AMOS TO RELEASE UNREPENTANT GERALDINES*
*MAY 13th ON MERCURY CLASSICS/UNIVERSAL MUSIC CLASSICS*
*WORLD TOUR INCLUDES U.S. DATES ANNOUNCED FOR JULY & AUGUST *
*February 19, 2014 (New York, New York)* — *Tori Amos* is set to release
her brand new studio album, *Unrepentant Geraldines,* May 13th in the U.S.
on Mercury Classics/Universal Music Classics. *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.
Tori Amos’ worldwide tour kicks off in May, with U.S. dates now announced
for July and August. Fans will have exclusive access to a
ticket pre-sale before the general public on-sale dates by
pre-ordering *Unrepentant
Geraldines *on-line. Once a pre-order for the album is placed through
*http://*
myplaydirect.com/tori-amos,
individuals will later receive a code to grant them access
to pre-sales tickets for the U.S. show of their choice.
*Unrepentant Geraldines *is her 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.
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.
Amos recently also 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.
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.
