Tori Amos, Under The Pink. 20th Anniversary Retrospective.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Just 18 months after releasing her debut album Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos stamped her authority on her music direction by releasing the superb Under The Pink.  Gone were the days Y Kant Tori Read forever, this was 100 per cent what the talented musician was all about, trailblazing, confessional, confrontational but with that alluring feminine smile paving the way before slamming the piano with full heart and lyrics that were designed to make you thing as well as enjoy. The musical personification of poets Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton but with even bigger welcoming attitude and an allure that got beneath the skin of the subject she wrote about.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * *

When Genesis released their debut album, From Genesis to Revelation, the sales it received could have seen any of the labels that were around at the end of the 1960s keep the band at arms-length until they split up and left them bitter and forlorn musicians. Thankfully they were given time, their music given the space to find its own special way in the world. Roll on 20 years and the young Tori Amos, the woman who would go onto become of the biggest female acts of all time, was about to suffer the same fate with her debut album as part of the band with the same name, Y Kant Tori Read.
