Tori Amos to Get 'Unrepentant' on New AlbumSinger-songwriter unveils release date, album art of 14th album 'Unrepentant Geraldines'By Stacey AndersonFebruary 19, 2014 Fourteen albums in, Tori Amos is still finding inspiration wherever she looks. The prolific singer-songwriter is set to release her next studio album, Unrepentant Geraldines, on May 13th on Mercury Classics as well as support the record with a lengthy international tour. The album is an appreciative portrayal of the singer's experiences with visual art, Amos tells Rolling Stone – and, fittingly, she unveils its vibrant new cover art exclusively here. Tori Amos Opens Up About 'Gold Dust' "I've always been inspired by visual artists of all mediums because, as with music, art is not a job you can go to and leave from, but it is something that defines who and what you are," Amos tells Rolling Stone. "Visual artists shake up our brains and force us to look at everything, from objects we don't normally think twice about to people we might not have cared about. In one image, they can remind us of nature's power to enchant, as well as humankind's fruitless attempt to overpower her or simply second-guess her. Through the visual artist's application of tone, shape, pattern and pigment, I not only begin to see, but I can honestly say I begin to hear."
Amos' adulation of visual art shouldn't come as a surprise to diligent fans who have followed her piecemeal teasing of the album cover on her Tumblr over the past week, or who recall the singer discussing seeing her songs "three-dimensionally" with Rolling Stone two years ago. Unrepentant Geraldines marks the piano maven's return to her premier instrument and also to thoughtful contemporary pop; its fine art emphasis also nods to the highbrow proclivities of her last album, Gold Dust, on which she reworked past songs with classical orchestration courtesy of the Netherlands' Metropole Orchestra.
Today, Amos also unveiled the North American leg of her Unrepentant Geraldines tour, which launches July 16th at the Orpheum in Vancouver, Canada and crosses the United States before wrapping on August 24th at Fillmore at the Jackie Gleason Theatre in Miami, Florida. (See full dates below.) It follows her previously announced, far-flung international dates, which kick off May 5th in Cork Ireland and include stops in France, Belgium, Italy and Russia before culminating in Bucharest, Romania on June 19th.
Amos' album and tour announcements come amid new acclaim for her musical The Light Princess, a fanciful production currently running in South London. Cowritten with Australian playwright Samuel Adamson, the fable about a lovestruck prince and princess recently earned six prestigious WhatsOnStage nominations, an especially triumphant outcome considering the production languished in indefinite postponement in 2011 before being revived.

Tori Amos, a maggio il nuovo “Unrepentant Geraldines”
Tre date dal vivo in Italia per promuovere le canzoni del ritorno con un album di inediti, fortemente ispirato al mondo delle arti visive
20 febbraio 2014
Di Stacey Anderson
A quattordici album dal suo debutto, Tori Amos continua a trovare ispirazione per la sua musica ovunque si giri.
La prolifica cantante-pianista pubblicherà il suo nuovo album Unrepentant Geraldines a metà maggio via Mercury Classics, e a supporto del disco si imbarcherà in un lungo tour mondiale. L’album è un ritratto riconoscente delle esperienze della musicista con il mondo delle arti visive, dice Amos a Rolling Stone.
“Sono sempre stata ispirata dagli artisti, in ogni campo, perché esattamente come con la musica, l’arte non è un lavoro dal quale ti puoi staccare a fine giornata, ma piuttosto è qualcosa che definisce chi e cosa sei”, racconta Amos.
