Tori Amos Interview

Tori Amos is now 45, but she’s no less provocative than when she was making landmark albums like 1992’s Little Earthquakes in her mid-20s. Her 10th studio album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, contains its trademark share of emotional land mines -- see “Maybe California” -- and also its trademark share of exquisite piano work.
But confirmation that Amos is still provocative isn’t confined to just her music. In interviews, her language is PG-13: When talking with Amazon from Cornwall, England, recently, she described her love of multi-sided albums by crafting a metaphor involving the posterior of a beautiful woman. Other topics she touched on included high-heeled shoes, power and control, and mothers as sexual creatures.
