    Tori is a classically trained mezzo-soprano.

The way you mentioned her sitting at the piano-that is now she does her concerts so she’s playing and singing but still interacting with the audience. She is an extremely talented and classically trained musician and piano player. She attended a very prestigious school from an extremely young age (possibly their youngest student ever) and left the school because she couldn’t pursue her own personal unique style. Please go down the Tori rabbit hole. I don’t even know what song to suggest next because she doesn’t have a bad one.

Some of her music is really deep and sparks some emotions. When those two songs first came out, they touched my soul. Her live performances make it that much better. She has an amazing voice too.

    Finally! I've been waiting on this. At five, Tori became the youngest student ever admitted to the preparatory division of the Peabody Institute to study classical piano. Tori dropped her debut album Little Earthquakes in 1992 to critical acclaim. It is my second favorite album of all time. I hope you will review more songs from that album and then explore further into her music catalog. I have been fortunate to see her live I think 7 times and she sounds even better live. I remember seeing her perform in 1992 in a small venue and got to meet her parents who were not sure if this was going to work as she was in a prior group that flopped called "Why Kant Tori Read?" The album bombed and yet she was under contract and had to release more music, but this time as a solo artist. She would release Little Earthquakes which would launch her into stardom and it was perfect timing as female artists of all genres really exploded throughout the 90s if you remember Lilith Fair? She has sometimes been compared to Kate Bush. Tori is still recording new music and is currently on tour. She has also published two books and composed and had a musical called the Light Princess released in England.

    Great intro to Tori. This was the song that introduced me to her in the Summer of 1992 when I was 14.
    Since then I've seen her 26 times live. She's a treasure. Not always everyone's cup of tea, but undoubtedly talented and innovative and ahead of her time and passionate and inspiring, etc. . . with a huge catalog of wonderfully diverse music and ideas. ❤️

    I remember Tori and Alanis came out about the same time.. and let me tell you .. they both really captivated everyone who saw them perform and heard them sing.. as they both just were sooooooooo different, unique, bold and really created their very own lanes where they didn't have to share their audience with other female performers of that era.. as their cult followings were quick and huge!!! Oh and yes you can defo hear the Kate Bush influence with Tori in this one... and it's mesmerizing!!! Love Tori!!

    There are so many creative women artists in music today. Granted, Tori, PJ Harvey, Fiona Apple, and the band Sleater-Kinney have been around 30 years give or take, but then you have Courtney Barnett, Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etten, Anna Tivel; the list goes on. I'm an old geezer, but I still get excited about new finds as you put it, whether it's newer music, or something from previous decades that I may have missed. Great stuff.

    Tori Amos is such a great artist. Her music is so personal and raw. She has a song called Me and a Gun which is literally about when she was raped in L.A. when she was 21. It's a rough listen but i respect her so much for being able to put that out there. Silent All These Years and Cornflake Girl are also really great songs from her

    This album came out my senior year of high school. Little Earthquakes is def on of my top 10 albums of all time. I shared it with my great niece, who is a senior this year, and now she’s a fan girl too. I’ve seen Tori twice live and she’s just astounding. There’s so many of her songs I could suggest. Here’s just a few faves:
    Silent All These Years
    Cornflake Girl
    Hey Jupiter
    1,000 Oceans
    A Sorta Fairytale
    Spark
    There’s literally 30 years worth to cover, but I think these are a good start. Or at least some of the more commercially known ones.

    OMG, I love that y'all are finally getting around to Tori. My all time favorite artist! I would stick with this album for a bit before moving on to her later works (although, there are plenty of amazing songs in her catalog) but "Little Earthquakes" is one of the most impactful debut albums ever released. It is a statement piece that grabbed critics and fans alike when it exploded onto the scene. This album literally changed my life. I didn't take it out of the CD player for months. I would suggest "Winter" next or maybe "China". "Leather" is a personal favorite.

    Just to let you guys know, she was a piano prodigy as a kid and her talent only massed as she got older. Check out her ‘Precious Things’. Probably her most popular song. Also, check out ‘Me and a Gun’. She is a rape survivor. She wrote that song as therapy for that trauma. If you scope that song, know that and listen to the words.

    Yay, finally doing Tori Amos! She began playing the piano when she was 2 by ear. She was the youngest piano student admitted to the Peabody Institute at age 5. She was kicked out at age 11 because she didn't want to keep learning how to play classical music or to read it since she already could play anything pretty much. She wanted to go her own way. Fascinating story. She persevered for ten years before she got a label to pick her up because "piano wasn't in anymore". Basically she was on the scene the same time as grunge. She does some incredible covers of Kurt Cobain's songs and a few other artist. Precious Things, Winter (my personal favorite) - some of the most beautiful singing and piano playing ever, oh I can't forget Cornflake Girl - album version is great but some of her live concerts are phenomenal. Her breath control is incredible and the ability to switch from high to low notes, soft to loud, etc. are her true talent as well as making the piano and her voice really match up.
