New CD Tori Amos Abnormally Attracted To Sin
As the daughter of a preacher, Tori Amos has often had references to religion in her work. Her 1992 debut album, "Little Earthquakes" had more than half of the songs referencing religion. Musings on wrongs and past wrongs is a theme often interwoven in her songs. The new release, "Abnormally Attracted to Sin", seems aptly named.
"Abnormally Attracted to Sin" harkens back to the successful formula of "Little Earthquakes", which includes more than just Tori's ethereal voice and slow piano. Although many of Tori's fans prefer just her and a piano (as featured in many of her live performances), song after song of it only serves to make the songs sound all alike.
The new CD features seventeen new songs in a variety of styles. She is prolific if nothing else. While her voice still takes center stage, she's accompanied by drums, electric guitars, and even strings on this release.
Amos once again incorporates her unique singing style and phrasing on "Abnormally Attracted to Sin", and the release is sure to please her fans. Whether it will gain her many new fans remains to be seen, as many of the songs are similar in melody and instrumentation.
Tori Amos has a strong fan base in both Europe and North America, almost assuring that this CD will more than cover the costs of making and producing it. Like most of Amos' previous CDs, the sales will come after word of mouth. This will be a great relief for Universal Republic, Tori's new label. The only real criticism is that there isn't anything drastically new in "Abnormally Attracted to Sin". Unlike many other singer-songwriters with staying power, such as the afore-mentioned Peter Gabriel, no new musical ground is broken here. It's pretty much the same old Tori her fans have come to adore. - 23806
