Tori's upcoming album title "Abnormally Addicted to Sin"

New CD, ABNORMALLY ATTRACTED TO SIN, Due Spring 2009

(New York, NY) There will be thousands of artists and tens of thousands of music fans gathering at over 60 venues for this year’s South By Southwest Music Conference in Austin, TX, but all eyes will be on groundbreaking star Tori Amos, headlining one of the most anticipated events in the conference’s two decade-plus history, on Thursday, March 19, at historic Austin club, La Zona Rosa.

The Grammy nominated singer/songwriter is headlining a star-studded Universal Republic showcase at the popular venue, sure to be looked on as one of the must-see events of the 4 day festival. Tori will be performing new songs from her upcoming Universal Republic debut album, ABNORMALLY ATTRACTED TO SIN, scheduled to hit stores and the digital domain this spring, as well as other classics from her influential repertoire.

Tori’s recent signing with Universal Republic is in keeping with the inventive star’s unconventional approach to the artist/record company relationship. Universal Republic will distribute Tori’s new album, as well as correlate other ventures in tandem with Tori’s prolific creative output. ABNORMALLY ATTRACTED TO SIN, her tenth studio album, is another innovative chapter in the artist’s trailblazing story. Every track on the album will be accompanied by a corresponding ‘visualette,’ featuring footage that has been captured over the past year. Shot in HD and Super 8, the visualettes will incorporate a documentary style.

Tori’s most recent album, AMERICAN DOLL POSSE, which has been hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as ‘her best album in years,’ was released in 2007 to a chorus of rave reviews. The captivating album, like many of her previous efforts, adhered to a strong conceptual theme, with Tori inhabiting multiple archetypal female personae, a testament to her willingness to continue to push the boundaries of the female singer/songwriter.

Regarded as one of the most emotionally fearless live artists in music today, her most recent world tour, launched in the summer of 2007, saw her soar with her first full-fledged rock band in nearly a decade. Media platforms such as the BBC lauded both her live show and album as ‘returning Tori Amos back to the forefront of a genre she defined...still pushing her own boundaries.’

I was thinking the other day that the title is pretty naff, but I also thought that about American Doll Posse until I actually heard the music on it and was like "YAY!" - so I am definitely not going to judge this time lol.

Yay I can't wait

i like this title. although it reminds me a little of Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. although that might be simply because i was listening to it when i read the news. lol.

gosh... it's good to act on impulses... I have been semiestranged with Tori lately... it's neither of our fault, I just had been discovering and listening to so many others that her CDs started to gather dust in the rack... well, this week I've been listening to Tori again and then just now I thought of checking this place out after also a very long break and now I'm glad I did... I think my Tori listening will increase now that I learned that her new album is here soon. Happy joy. Thanks for the post Paulo!!

Wonky title, but here's hoping it's good anyway. I'm dreaming of a more condensed album with 12-13 or so tracks that are all fantastic instead of 19-20 with gems and duds alike, but... that is a dream.

[Aims]

Yeah I hope so too.

ps. i can't get over the fact she so reminds me of someone - i don't know who - other than herself in that picture. it's the facial expression (aka botox + exhaustive photoshop). i wonder if it's Cate Blanchett? i always did think they had a je ne sais quoi in common. oh yes. Cate Blanchett in the early stages of Benjamin Button, when her face is all stretched up to make her look as a late teenager. that's it!
