Chameleon Extraordinaire

Any Tori Amos fan knows her music changes from year-to-year, album-to-album, and even song-to-song. Perhaps that's what makes her legions of fans so loyal: these changes keeps things new and interesting, and makes people wonder what's coming next. Wow, you know what? That's what a true artist does! Hmmm....

Similar to the changes coinciding with her music, Tori's image changes right along with it. This is one of the reasons I enjoy Tori Amos so much, as a contributor to the music world. Her physical being is merely an extension of her music; her image tells a story. I thought for this post it might be fun to take a retrospective look at Tori throughout the years, as well as this new album, "American Doll Posse".

Today kicks off Tori week!

If you're a Tori Amos fan you know her long-awaited new album, "American Doll Posse," is being released this coming Tuesday (5/1). As written in a previous post I plan on being cooped-up in my apartment all week, enjoying the blissful sounds of the new material. Actually, the entire album is already available to hear on Tori's MySpace page, and it's quite good.

In honor of this new album, I am going to do my best to put up one post per day--for the entire week--devoted to Tori. Sound a little psycho? I don't really think so, I just want to try to do my best to promote the album, and help spread the word. I also want to hear about Tori stories from other folks, so if you've got one please tell me about it by leaving me a comment! And feel free to spread the word to other Tori fans you might know of...send them back over here to my blog!

Let's start the Tori chain!
