Unrepentant Geraldines

Reseña del editor UNREPENTANT GERALDINES is Tori Amos' 14th studio album and first album of original pop/rock songs in 5 years and a return to the unique brand of singer songwriter style that catapulted her to stardom over two decades ago. During her career Tori Amos has sold over 12 million albums worldwide. UNREPENTANT GERALDINES is an album in which Amos once more zeroes in on the writing of brightly melodic, deftly evocative singer song-writer soul-poems. The album title was inspired by a painting of Daniel Maclise, depicting the Irish folk tale character Geraldine in the pose of the repentant Magdalene. This sparked a process of thoughts about women's repentance and their struggles throughout history. Fusing themes such as women in society, motherhood and contemporary events, and also drawing inspiration from the work of visual artists, painters such as Cezanne, she has created a landmark album, demonstrating why she is regarded as one of the most remarkable artists of recent times. UNREPENTANT GERALDINES was written over the past few years and entirely recorded in her Cornwall studio with long-time collaborators Mark Hawley and Marcel Van Limbeek, 'working as a triangle'. 2014 brought a fresh approach to creating and working for Tori. The album features 'Trouble's Lament', an eerie Southern blues song in which Amos's matchless voice conjures up images of how the 'flames from Satan's tongue are charged and licking at her heels' Other highlights include 'Promise' a touching duet with her 13-year old daughter Natasha, that documents the mother/daughter relationship and the promises they make to each other, 'Giant's Rolling Pin' a pithy, spry, jig-like satire on the NSA/Edward Snowden affair and 'Oysters' a classic Amos piano ballad, evocative of her timeless breakthrough album, 1992's LITTLE EARTHQUAKES. Críticas I've always been inspired by visual artists of all mediums because, as with Music, Art is not a job you can go to and leave from; but it is something that defines who and what you are.Visual artists shake up our brains and force us to look at everything, from objects we don't normally think twice about to people we might not have cared about. In one image they can remind us of Nature's power to enchant, as well ashumankind's fruitless attempt to overpower her or simply second-guess her. Through the Visual Artist's application of tone, shape, pattern, and pigment I not only begin to see, but I can honestly say I begin to hear. --Tori Amos
