In the 90s Tori Amos was one of the most appreciated rock songwriters by both critics and the public. Succeeding in selling millions of copies all over the world, her records marked an epoch and have made Tori Amos go down in rock’s history.

Some might say that the success of Tori Amos,Rome: Tori Amos concert, 30 September 2009  Articles of her music, of her voice which can whisper and make harrowing high notes at once, of her personal style in playing the piano, is fading if compared to the past, but this does not mean that the goddess of rock, as her more affectionate fans like to call her, has stopped, or that her original artistic talent has run out: an evidence of this is given by the recent publication of the latest album of the American songwriter and pianist, Abnormally attracted to Sin. The artist will present her latest work to Italian fans on the 30 of September in the capital city and on the 1st of October in Milan, and cheap B&B accommodation in Rome will certainly be fully booked. Abnormally attracted to Sin is the 10th album in an almost twenty-year career: her first work, Little Earthquakes, was published in 1992, and with this album Tori succeeded in catching the attention of both critics and music lovers and selling 5 millions records all over the world. The piano, that the artist plays since she was a child, is one of the main features of the record, and soon it becomes a protagonist also of the live performances of the artist, who plays it with a unique transport.

After the success achieved with the first album, in 1994 Tori releases her second work, which is still considered as her masterpiece, Under the Pink. Also thanks to a great, strange, original and enthralling song like Cornflake Girl, it sells 8 millions copies all over the world, making Tori one of the most important prophetesses of rock in the 90s. Also Boys for Pele and From the Choirgirl Hotel, published respectively in 1996 an 1998, achieve a good success, and they are an evidence of Tori’s desire to keep experimenting with music and with her unmistakable voice. And the experimentation goes on also with To Venus and back, an album that does not sell as much as the previous ones, and which closes the golden decade of Tori Amos.

The new millennium starts with Strange Little Girls, released in 2001, an ambitious album containing covers of songs of famous artists, and which does not achieve the desired success, marking also the end of the collaboration with Atlantic. Then Tori publishes Scarlet’s Walk in 2002, The Beekeeper three years later and American Doll Posse in 2007. The songs of the latest album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, that the artist’s fan will have the possibility to listen to booking 3 stars hotels in Rome and attending her concert on the 30th of September, are characterised by her desire to explore new themes, while her voice has kept her unchanged charm. The concert in Rome (it is almost sold out, book now your ticket and travel to Rome) is only one of the dates of the long tour that will take Tori to America, Europe and Australia, an evidence of the fact that, even 20 years after her debut, and after few albums that were not very successful, Tori Amos is still one of the best representatives of good rock.
