Untitled

American Doll Posse is an album by Tori Amos that will be released on May 1, 2007[1]. An official track listing has not yet been made available, although clips of "Bouncing off Clouds", "Big Wheel" and "Secret Spell" have been streamed by promosquad. [2]

Development

During the 2005 summer tour and in several recent interviews while promoting A Piano: The Collection, Amos revealed cryptic details about the upcoming album:

Without giving anything away, I have my high heels on. I like the way that feels. [3]

Tori has also revealed that the new album is political in nature:

The main message of my new album is: the political is personal. This as opposed to the feminist statement from years ago that the personal is political. I know it has been said that it goes both ways, but we have to turn it around. We have to think like that. I’m now taking on subjects that I could not have been able to take on in my twenties. With Little Earthquakes I took on more personal things. But if you are going to be an American woman in 2007 with a real view on what is going on, you need to be brave, and you need to know that some people won’t want to look at it. [4]

Amos has also considered the return of the harpsichord and Wurlitzer on this record. [5] She has made several comments about bringing a "warrior woman" out, as well as stating that the record will be a very different chapter from what has come before. [6]

The album, like all Tori Amos albums since her 1998 album From the Choirgirl Hotel [7], has been recorded at Martian Engineering in Cornwall [8].
