A few weeks ago I posted some information about a rumor going around about the possible release of a new Tori Amos album (reportedly titled Reckless Night). Yesterday afternoon, the news was confirmed officially … Tori IS releasing a new album in September but it will be titled Night of Hunters. In a surprising move, the new album will be released on Deutsche Grammophon — a classical music record label. In fact, the entire album is inspired by classical music and will focus on the themes of the hunter and the hunted, as described by Tori herself. Click below to see the presumed album art for Night of Hunters and read all the known deets about the album and its accompanying world tour.
Tori Amos marks her debut album for Deutshe Grammophon, the world’s most celebrated classical music record label with Night of Hunters, set for release this September. The iconic, platinum-selling singer-songwriter continues her legacy of ground-breaking recordings with this 21st century song cycle inspired by select classical pieces spanning the last 400 years. With Night of Hunters, Amos carries on the classical tradition of variations on a theme: taking inspiration from classical forms to create a bold new work while paying tribute to the mastery of the original compositions. On Night of Hunters, which she wrote and produced, Amos comments:
“It’s a 21st century song cycle inspired by classical music themes spanning over 400 years. I have used the structure of a song cycle to tell an ongoing, modern story. The protagonist is a woman who finds herself in the dying embers of a relationship. In the course of one night she goes through an initiation of sorts that leads her to reinvent herself allowing the listener to follow her on a journey to explore complex musical and emotional subject matter. One of the main themes explored on this album is the hunter and the hunted and how both exist within us.”
The release of Night of Hunters will be supported by a tour in Europe and the U.S. starting in Helsinki, Finland on September 28th. With more than 12 million albums sold and multiple Grammy nominations, Tori Amos is one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation. A pioneer across multiple platforms, she was the first major label artist to offer a single for download, has had her songs turned into graphic novels, and has produced pioneering videos throughout her career. She is renowned for her passionate and broad fan-base, her critically and commercially successful tours, and her ever evolving live show. Ms. Amos is also a noted humanitarian and co-founder of RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network), which is the United States’ largest anti-sexual assault organization.
Thus far, only European tour dates have been announced for Tori‘s upcoming world tour but I’m told that the announcement of US dates is forthcoming. Additionally, ToriAmos.com will be updated soon with exclusive song previews from Night of Hunters. I can’t EVEN tell you how excited I am by this announcement of new Tori music.
