Best Selling Books by Tori Amos

An intimate, eye-opening look inside the life of one of the most unique and adored performers of contemporary rock music From her critically acclaimed 1992 debut, Little Earthquakes, to the recent hit, Scarlet’s Walk, Tori Amos has been a formidable force in contemporary music, with one of the most dedicated fan bases in the industry. In Tori Amos: Piece by Piece, the singer herself takes readers beyond the mere facts, explaining the specifics of her creative process—how her songs go from ideas and melodies to recordings and passionately performed concert pieces. Written with acclaimed music journalist Ann Powers, Tori Amos: Piece by Piece is a firsthand account of the most intricate and intimate details of Amos’s life as both a private individual and a very public performing musician. In passionate and informative prose, Amos explains how her songs come to her and how she records and then performs them for audiences everywhere, all the while connecting with listeners across the world and maintaining her own family life (which includes raising a young daughter). But it is also much more, a verbal collage made by two strong female voices – and the voices of those closest to Amos—that calls upon genealogy, myth, and folklore to express Amos’s unique and fascinating personal history. In short, we see the pieces that make up – as Amos herself puts it—“the woman we call Tori.” With photos taken especially for this book by the photographer Loren Haynes, Tori Amos: Piece by Piece is a rare treat for both Tori listeners and newcomers alike, a look into the heart and mind of an extraordinary musician.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A timely and passionate call to action for engaging with our current political moment, from the Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum singer-songwriter and New York Times bestselling author Tori Amos. Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos has been one of the music industry’s most enduring and ingenious artists. From her unnerving depiction of sexual assault in “Me and a Gun” to her post-9/11 album, Scarlet’s Walk, to 2017’s Native Invader, her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political. From her time as a teenager playing hotel bars in Washington, DC, for the politically powerful to the subsequent three decades of her formidable music career, Amos explains how she managed to create meaningful, politically resonant work against patriarchal power structures—and how her proud declarations of feminism and her fight for the marginalized always proved to be her guiding light. She teaches us to engage with intention in this tumultuous global climate and speaks directly to supporters of #MeToo and Time’s Up, as well as young people fighting for their rights and visibility in the world. Filled with compassionate guidance and actionable advice—and using some of the most powerful, political songs in Amos’s canon—Resistance is for anyone determined to steer the world back in the right direction.

From the Grammy-nominated and multiplatinum singer-songwriter and New York Times bestselling author Tori Amos comes Tori and the Muses, a thoughtful and sprightly tale of young Tori navigating the magical world of inspiration in all its forms. Tori is no ordinary child—her musical inspirations and talents are clear from a young age. But when her dad forces her to rehearse for her recital, Tori is unhappy. She wants to play what she wants to play! And though they don’t see eye to eye, Tori has a secret: eleven Muses who have visited her since she was a baby and inspire her to write and make her own beautiful music. These fairy godmother–like Muses remind Tori that inspiration is everywhere, and perhaps in helping others find their own Muses—including Dad—she may better understand her own inspirations. So, Tori takes her brand-new floating pink piano—a gift from the Muses—to see what might inspire others, in hopes of understanding what her dad’s Muses might be. And she is surprised at what she finds. Filled with joy, curiosity, and imagination, this debut picture book written by Tori Amos with otherworldly illustrations by Demelsa Haughton will inspire, encourage, and most importantly, remind young readers to find inspiration in the things they love, and to listen to their own Muses.

Neues Album der hochtalentierten und immer für eine Überraschung gute Pianistin und Sängerin. Der typischen Amos-Sound ist auch hier vertreten, verträumte, verschachtelte Songs mit zum teil kryptischen Texten. Und meist nicht ganz so einfach wie es auf den 1. Blick scheint. Eingängigkeit und Anspruch gehen bei Tori Amos Hand in Hand.

Seelenschau einer sensiblen Künstlerin Acht Grammy-Nominierungen, fünf MTV-Nominierungen und ein Echo "Klassik ohne Grenzen" für ihr Werk Night Of Hunters: Tori Amos hat während ihrer beeindruckenden Karriere nicht nur die Kritik begeistert, sondern mit über 15 Alben auch die zahlreichen Fans, besonders im deutschsprachigen Raum. Ihre Musik verzaubert und inspiriert. In einer Zeit der maskulinen Aggression, des Banalen und des Vulgären wirken Tori Amos'' facettenreiche Texte wie ein wohltuendes Gegengift. Nun erzählt die starke Frau anhand von über 30 Songs von ihren wichtigsten Lebensstationen - mal lyrisch, mal provozierend, aber immer offen und ehrlich. Themen wie der tragische Tod ihrer Mutter, der Kampf gegen Unterdrückung, Ungerechtigkeit und Missbrauch oder die Schönheit der Natur sprechen ein großes Publikum an. Trotz aller Komplexität stehen intensive Gefühle im Vordergrund. Tori Amos repräsentiert die moderne Frau - kämpferisch und fragil, nachdenklich, emotional und unverkrampft feminin.
