Tori Amos’ 13th studio album is set for an October 2012 debut and will include ‘re-imagined’ songs she handpicked and which are representative of her entire catalogue. Gold Dust will feature the Metropole Orchestra, conducted by Jules Buckley, with arrangements by Amos’ long-time collaborator John Philip Shenale.
Set for release by Deutsche Grammophon, the new album is reportedly a “natural progression following 2011’s classically influenced Night of Hunters.” [pictured]
Commenting on the album, Amos said, “The 20 years is about celebrating different times that have happened – all the blessings, all the conversations which have taken place and inspired these songs. This is a collection of new studio recordings of where they are now and who they have become.”
The tracks on Gold Dust include “Silent All These Years,” “Precious Things,” “Flavor,” “Jackie’s Strength,” “Winter,” and “Snow Cherries from France.”
“My relationship with all of these songs has changed over the years and they have changed my life. 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,” explained Amos.
