Tori Amos Announces
Midwinter Graces
Tori's First and Highly Anticipated Seasonal Album to be Released November 6
After nearly two decades writing and recording some of her generation's most emotionally powerful music, Tori Amos will release her first seasonal album, Midwinter Graces, on November 6.
A follow up to Tori’s critically acclaimed studio album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, Midwinter Graces will find Tori reworking and expanding on classic carols as well as developing some of her very own seasonal tracks.
Midwinter Graces is an album that has been in the making for the past 40 years. Raised in the Baltimore area under the watchful eye of her Methodist minister father, Tori grew up playing holiday carols at Sunday services and Christmas Day celebrations in her father's church. These were the songs that gave a young Tori her first taste of music, and now almost 40 years later Tori gets her own chance to re-imagine classics like What Child, Nowell and Star of Wonder. Tori will also add her own bittersweet bliss to the season with original tracks like Pink and Glitter and Our New Year.
For Midwinter Graces, Amos has again teamed up with long time collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, and Mac Aladdin on guitars. Tori has enlisted the help of a Big Band and an Orchestra with stunning John Philip Shenale arrangements to create Tori’s new seasonal classics.
Midwinter Graces Tracklist: What Child, Nowell, Star of Wonder, A Silent Night with You, Candle: Coventry Carol, Holly, Ivy, and Rose, Harps of Gold, Snow Angel, Jeanette, Isabella, Pink and Glitter, Emmanuel, Winter’s Carol, Our New Year
