This week’s Rewind looks back at a trio of interviews with Tori Amos. Listen to the selections, which span from 2017 to 2021, now.The first interview runs it back to 2017, when Amos had just released her fifteenth LP, Native Invader. It's an album that was written in the wake of Trump’s 2016 presidential inauguration and the conversation spotlights environmental concerns, her Native American ancestry, and the political landscape backed with sweeping piano runs and slicing guitar solos. From there, travel to 2020, when the icon delivered her memoir, Resistance: A Songwriter's Story of Hope, Change, and Courage. Amos discusses the responsibility to speak out, how call-to-action songs find their way, and the difference in how her lyrics can be interpreted in reading and speaking versus within a finished song. We then arrive in 2021 for a conversation about Amos' album Ocean to Ocean. The Artist also talks about fan expectations and connecting back to 1992’s Little Earthquakes as a way to heal.Listen
