Tori, now signed with Universal Republic, will release her tenth studio album, titled Abnormally Attracted To Sin, scheduled to release this spring. Every track on the album will be accompanied by a corresponding ‘visualette,’ featuring footage that has been captured over the past year. Shot in HD and Super 8, the visualettes will incorporate a documentary style. Tori will be performing new songs from her upcoming album at this year’s South By South-West Music Conference in Austin, TX (Thursday, March 19) at La Zona Rosa.

In the latest official email newsletter from Toriamos.com, an audio message from Tori says this about the Posse characters:

You can look for them online. They will all be accessible if you can find their blogs, which they update frequently. Instead of an Easter Egg Hunt this season, I’m hosting a Posse Hunt. Happy hunting.

Fans have been scouring the interweb for the POSSE BLOGS and we’re beginning to get confirmation from Undented on the real ones. Be aware that there are pesky fake ones out there as well. I’ll be adding the confirmed blogs to the American Doll Posse Blogs list on the bottom-right column of this page to help keep track of them. Good luck!

TORI AMOS UNVEILS A PIANO: THE COLLECTION THIS FALL

A Piano Reveals Amos’ Classics, Rarities, B-Sides, and Unreleased Tracks for a Five-Disc, Career-Spanning Boxed Set

Tori Amos’ classics, rarities, remixes, and previously unreleased music finally come together for A PIANO: THE COLLECTION. Presented in deluxe packaging that resembles Tori’s beloved Boesendorfer piano keyboard, this five-disc boxed set will be available September 26 at regular retail outlets.

Produced by Amos, the career-spanning collection highlights selections from her studio albums as well as B-sides and numerous unreleased songs, combining well-known studio versions with rare alternate mixes, including several songs Amos recently remixed for this project. Tracks included will also feature material from the Sony years with music from Scarlet’s Walk as well as The Beekeeper. A PIANO: THE COLLECTION also offers a revealing and extensive track-by-track commentary penned by Amos, who discusses the inspiration behind the songs and albums and explains why they were chosen for this boxed set.

For what could be the most intriguing addition to the collection, Amos invites listeners into her artistic process with a medley of demos for the songs “Fire-Eater’s Wife/Beauty Queen,” “Playboy Mommy” and “A Sorta Fairytale.” Amos explains in the liner notes: “I’m usually pretty reticent to expose the musical development process . . . The demo medley was a choice I made so that other songwriters can feel an affinity with the idea that songwriters have to push themselves and not just accept the first incarnation that you are presented with. Each of these three songs are presented here in their completed form somewhere within the box set so you can see conception to development.”

You can PRE-ORDER the A PIANO: THE COLLECTION boxed set now at AMAZON.COM (or visit Undented for more store listings)!
