Fans rejoice: TORI AMOS’ new album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, is here.
1 Tori chose the title from a line in the 1955 musical Guys & Dolls.
2 It’s the first with her new record label, Universal Republic Records.
3 She composed and wrote all 17 tracks and produced the album.
4 Many songs were inspired by director Christopher Lamb, who filmed her touring for her 2007 album, American Doll Posse.
5 The resulting short films are available on the DVD that comes with the limited edition of Abnormally Attracted to Sin.
6 Fashion photographer Karen Collins shot the cover and inside sleeve pictures of Tori in various sexy poses in a hotel room.
7 Tori worked with Matt Chamberlain on drums and percussion. Matt’s drumming appears on more than 200 albums.
8 The album opened at No 9 on the Billboard 200, her seventh to open in the top 10.
9 It explores one of Tori’s favourite topics: power. “We used to think power was having a job and money. If that’s our definition of success then very few people have it - the money part anyway.”
10 Another theme is sin. “I’m drawn to questioning what authorities have defined sin to be,” Tori says. “As a minister’s daughter I’ve been exposed to the traditional belief system. If you’re controlled by a religious structure then you’re going to have a different outlook.”
