Video Premiere

Tori Loves New York

August 30, 2012 1 Comment

On October 2, Tori Amos will release Gold Dust, a new album featuring orchestral versions of songs spanning her career. The revisionist set is titled after a track on 2002’s Scarlet’s Walk, with arrangements by longtime collaborator John Philip Shenale and recorded with the Netherlands’ Metropole Orchestra, conducted by Jules Buckley.

“My relationship with all of these songs has changed over the years and they have changed my life,” Amos says of her 13th studio album. “So it wasn’t just about capturing the past it was about realizing that the songs had a new narrative now — 10 or 20 years later than they did when I originally recorded them.”

The first taste of Amos’ Gold Dust reimaginings arrived yesterday with a stream of “Flavor” on her website. Today, she’s debuted a music video for the track, which appeared in its original form on 2009’s Abnormally Attracted To Sin. Watch as Amos traverses New York City, connecting with its colorful citizenry as something of a magical, maternal figure.
