When Tori Amos unveiled Gold Dust in 2012, it was a pristine moment to acknowledge the influential songwriter's legacy thus far. Starting with her 1992 solo debut, Little Earthquakes, Amos has led the way for a generation of powerful female artists, taking ahold of and shifting the rock world with perfectly stated, confessional lyrics that confronted love and sex, joy, empowerment, and painful life experiences through a fresh, new lens. Hearing her music from the past 20 years reconfigured -- with classical orchestration from the Netherlands' Metropole Orchestra -- was a chance to rediscover Amos' groundbreaking works re-imagined.
Now, with her 14th studio effort, Amos is moving forward. Unrepentant Geraldines, her first record of all-original rock and pop-oriented songs in five years, is both a return to her signature instrument -- piano -- and to her fine art-pop sound, and also another evolution as a songwriter. In true Tori Amos fashion, these songs are full of juxtapositions: tender and rocking, intense and pretty, whispered and screamed as she delves in to dark territory, as on the first single "Trouble's Lament." The record also arrives with something of a framing device -- her experiences with and love for visual art.
Before Unrepentant Geraldines' release on May 13, the groundbreaking and prolific artist performs some of her new material in an intimate solo piano performance in the Soundcheck studio, and talks about her new songs.
Set List:
- "Trouble's Lament"
- "Selkie"
- "Crucify"

Her voice is just so on point. This Tori makes me so, so excited and makes me understand even more why I've loved her since '96.
Tell me she is not the freaking cutest with those glasses? So adorable!

She's not the cutest with those glasses. :)
Like an old, inspirational friend coming to visit after so long away, isn't she? Tori!
Selkie is the equal of her best work. Unforgettable. And I love her collection of crazy-ass glasses!! Cool how her eyewear hit the stratosphere while her wardrobe finally calmed the fuck down--she's wearing her clothes instead of her clothes wearing her. And I love seeing her REAL hair, thank you Tori! She looks so healthy and lively again at long last. Fifty isn't the end, baby, it's just the beginning.

I agree, Selkie is amazing, and that is one stunning version of Crucify. I'm so happy to have her back again.

I second everything you stated. And Selkie.....oh my!!!...... Love that gal!
Soo, so amazing she is ... and yet (a little too) underrated .. especially in this sugar-coated, bogus talent era of so called "artists." If you truly appreciate the talented Ms Tori Amos, then you know #real talent. She's a gem ♢☆♢

I love the acoustic version of " Trouble's Lament" ...
This video, these three songs are the medicine I didn't know I needed. I felt a bit of my youth flutter past my joy and unusual calm. Thank you for everything, Tori. 💗
Really love this! I have been a fan from the beginning and I have never seen her better than in this set. Thank you WNYC so very much for posting!!!
she is GENIUS
Great! A love song that initiates you into British culture and alligns yourself with US History. Sound quality and words perfectly clear. Blessings and Prosperity to you as a wife, musician, keeper of sacred truths and mother.
Beautiful!
What a woman!😍Love you tori!
Lots of love for our muse
Amazing performance ;)
Chapeau♡
I LOVE TORI
What a great Crucify version! she inspired...
Everyone is going nuts over this version of crucify. And then there's me who is sitting here wondering what's different from it than all the other performances of the song! 💌
Wow
Auto-tune free zone!! Love it.
Goddess.
I didn't noticed how much Crucify talks about my life right now!
I love my Pied Piper of Hamelin girl!
♡♡♡ :)
lol, those glasses are huge! I've seen that she has a different pair of glasses in every interview and live performance. interesting.
that band is tight
Great video. I like it when she allows her natural hairline to show. SO over the wigs. She sounds amazing!!!
lol she forgot the words on "trouble's lament"

Luckily she was able to remember them...!!!! 🙄🙃🤭😅😭🤗😂
Tori Amos is a vampire, she is reverse aging! So hot.
too bad the camera operator on the opposite side of the piano didn't have a steady hand. she is the best.
Tori rockin the hot librarian look...
Does anyone else hate that “frog” voice she started using like when she says: “He can Fiiiiind me”?
Completely agree, except her name is (now) legally 'MRS'.. (Tori-'??..born)- *'Ellen Myra Amos, so.. Either.. *MRS Tori/Ellen Myra HAWLINGS. Not a MS, or Miss. IF she didn't, (she did).. take Mark, her husband & Tash's (Natasha HAWLINGS -their daughter's) ..surname, she would still be Mrs.Amos. Although 'Mrs.Amos, is her beautiful Mother's.. ✌, 💖.. 💡 From, Down Under🐨
Versteht mich nicht falsch, ich liebe Tori, she is godlike. Aber dass Sie ihr Gesicht mittlerweile tatsächlich besser hinter einer Brille verstecken muss ist traurig. Zu viel geschnibbelt....

it's possible that she is both blind AND hiding her face.
