Tori Amos Unveils Lead Single from 18th Album, Announces Tour

Tori Amos unveiled the lead single from her upcoming 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons, this week, marking a significant return for the singer-songwriter with a track that blends personal narrative and broader social themes. The single, titled "Stronger Together," debuted on Monday and features backing vocals from Amos's daughter, Tash. Amos performed the song live the following day at the BBC Radio 2 Piano Room in London's Maida Vale Studios, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra.

The performance highlighted the song's atmospheric depth, built around haunting synthesizers and Amos's distinctive piano-driven style. She opened with "Stronger Together," followed by her classic "Cornflake Girl" and covers of The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden" and Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'." UK audiences can view the full session on BBC iPlayer. Amos described the track as a poignant culmination of a relationship in the album's story, where a character known as The Daughter vows to stand together against future challenges. "Whatever we will face in the future, we make a vow to each other that we're stronger together," she said.

In Times of Dragons, set for release on May...
