Tori Amos is a goddess. The impression her powerful music has left on
the music world is amazing. After a failed EP in the 80s, entitled "Why
Kant Tori Read?", Amos did not surrender to failure. She released a new
album in the early 90s, one that would define her career and inspire
people everywhere. That album, Under The Pink, continues to be a fan
favorite to this day. Unparalelled on the piano and hard to surpass in
vocal ability, Tori is one of, if not the most, talented woman in rock
today. The first song of the album "Pretty Good Year" starts off slow
and peaceful and just when you think you have it all figured out, Tori
speeds up the tempo and hardends her voice until chills are darting up
and down your spine. Her songs range in style as well as topic. "Past
the Mission" and "Baker Baker" demonstrate Tori's classical, softer,
calmer side. Tracks like "The Waitress" bring out her harder, bitter
side. Both sides are beautiful and produce beautiful, insightful music.
It's no wonder that Tori has such a cult following. One listen and you're
hooked.
