TORI AMOS "Little Earthquakes" / "Under The Pink"
Their first two albums in deluxe versions, remastered and with additional rare tracks and B-sides
"Take To The Sky" now available as a single
"This voice still surprises, moves, and reveals secrets" - NPR
"Emotionally gripping" - Newsweek
"Ms. Amos once said her first album was like a diary; her second like a painting (...) In her songs and her attitude, control and detachment enter into a fascinating, unsettling pact."
- The New York Times
"Her passionate, personal poetry-filled sincerity earned her a profile among the most significant songwriters of the nineties... it is her undeniable mystique and lavish beauty that seem to make Amos something otherworldly."
- The Fader
"...Tori is still the queen of winding, alternative piano ballads. Take this as an opportunity to bow down and kneel." - VICE's Noisey
With over 12 million albums sold, TORI AMOS is among the great female songwriters who have made waves since the nineties, touching her fans with unusually emotional songs. Moreover, she is one of the few female songwriters whose main instrument is the piano. She has received multiple Grammy nominations and has played over 1000 live concerts in the past 25 years. As a pioneer of various music platforms, she was also the first artist on a major label to offer a single for download. She adapted her songs into graphic novels and musicals and produced many groundbreaking videos throughout her career.

Even today, more than two decades after releasing her debut album "Little Earthquakes", TORI AMOS, one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation, is a musical force to be reckoned with. By carefully sidestepping the trends of the time, the remarkable singer touched millions of people with her enchanting melodies, captivating stage presence, and her personal and sincere lyrics.
Twenty years after her first major success, TORI AMOS has now announced the 2-CD deluxe editions of her debut "Little Earthquakes" and its follow-up "Under The Pink". Both albums have been remastered, each supplemented with an additional disc featuring rare B-sides and bonus tracks, and will be released on April 10 via Rhino/Warner Music (also in various download versions). On this occasion, the song "Take To The Sky", originally the B-side to "Winter", has been made available for posting and sharing: > here.

When the song selection for "Little Earthquakes" was finalized in 1992, difficult decisions had to be made to achieve the album's optimal balance and best flow. Fortunately, those songs that didn't make it onto the album at the time still saw the light of day on a whole series of singles released in the US and the UK, serving as B-sides. They often led to later album tracks: for example, "Pretty Good Year" was an extended version of "Ode To The Banana King (Part One)", which had been the B-side of the single "Silent All Those Years". The B-sides also showcased AMOS's great talent for reinventing already known songs, as seen with Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which became a masterpiece of understatement.

To this day, the songs from "Little Earthquakes" (1992) and "Under The Pink" (1994) have remained relevant and are still played very successfully.
"Little Earthquakes meant for me the realization of things that I had left untouched in some cases for 15 years... When you have a realization, you tell everyone about it, and other people say to you: 'I know what that's like.' That gives you a certain energy and frees you.” Moreover, TORI AMOS often notes that the audience's reaction to songs like "Silent All These Years" has remained intense and direct – a quarter of a century later. The song is one of the most requested in her repertoire and still accompanies her every day. It will likely continue to do so as long as she makes music.
