She’s back, and she’s still got it! 🙌 Tori Amos, the queen of quirky, piano-playing, songwriting magic, has returned to the UK stage after a three-year hiatus, and she’s on fire 🔥! With her 18th studio album, In Times Of Dragons, just around the corner, Tori is touring her way across Europe, and we’re loving every minute of it 🤩. The album, inspired by the crazy political landscape of her homeland, is a “metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny” – because, you know, who doesn’t love a good tale of dragons and billionaires? 🐉💸
So, what’s the verdict on this latest tour? 🤔 Well, let’s just say it’s a wild ride 🎢! Tori kicks off the show with Fire To Your Plain, a blast from the past (2009, to be exact), before diving into the sinister Shush, which is all about control and features a rather interesting question: “I knew a girl who wrote Silent All These Years, where is she?” 🤔 Hmm, maybe she’s out there, jamming to Tori’s tunes and eating popcorn 🍿?
The setlist is a treasure trove of deep cuts and fan favorites, with Tori sidestepping the obvious choices for some serious album tracks 🎶. We’re talking Horses, Bliss, and Sweet Sangria – because who needs hits when you can have obscure album tracks, am I right? 🤷♀️ And don’t even get me started on the band 🤩! Long-time bassist Jon Evans, drummer Earl Harvin, and The Angel Witches (aka Liv Gibson, Deni Hlavinka, and Hadley Kennary) are all on point, adding their own special sauce to Tori’s piano-driven magic 🎹.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Is this tour for casual fans or die-hards?” 🤔 Well, let me tell you, it’s a bit of both 🤝. If you’re just here for the hits, you might be a little lost 🗺️, but for those who are all about the journey, not the destination, tonight’s show is a reflective and rewarding experience 🌟. Tori’s desire to challenge and push boundaries is still strong, and it’s inspiring to see her continue to evolve as an artist 🌱.
The setlist is a whopping 15 tracks long, and it’s a wild ride from start to finish 🎠. With songs like Stronger Together and Mother Revolution, Tori is proving that she’s still got the magic 🎩. And let’s not forget the encore 🎉, which features a stunning rendition of God and Big Wheel 🙌.
So, what are you waiting for? 🕰️ Get yourself to a Tori Amos show and experience the magic for yourself ✨! And don’t forget to order her new album, In Times of Dragons, which is available now 🛍️. Trust me, you won’t regret it 😏.
