hey everyone! the latest tori amos album american doll posse releases two weeks from tomorrow (i'll actually be in NYC that day (may 1st) i can't wait to head back east for a few days!) just this past friday ms. amos revealed more about isabel who is her most outwardly political character on the album (you can read her blog) ms. isabel is also the character in charge of the first song off the album entitled yo george and i'm sure you can all take a guess at who she is talking about...
Isabel, a photographer, is a reflection of Artemis and is the most outwardly political of the bunch. She opens the album with "Yo George," a shout-out to our Commander-in-Chief, questioning what horribly dark road we’ve been led down and closes the CD with the anti-war anthem, "Dark Side of the Sun."
tori also recently performed a few new & old songs over in the netherlands - i've offered up an .mp3 of one of the new tracks sung live called beauty of speed which you can listen to below! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
» listen to tori amos' beauty of speed.mp3 (live in utrecht | source)
yo george
I salute to you Commander
And I sneeze
Cause I have now an allergy
To your policies it seems
Where have we gone wrong America
Mr. Lincoln we can't seem to find you anywhere
Out of the millions
From the desserts to the mountains
Over prairies to the shores
Is this just the madness of King George
Yo George
Is this just the madness of King George
Yo George
Well you have the whole nation on all fours

this doll posse thing is soooooo lame. long time tori fan but why is she hiding behind all of this artificial BS? why the costumes and the "creative personalities?" it's very Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines. iit's distracting from her music... and makes it seem like her music isn't enough. sad turn of events for someone who used to cut through the artifice.

I completely disagree detector. These "artificial" costumes she is using are symbolic of five ancient Greek goddesses. She gives a detailed description in an interview, which you can find on the internet. I think she is more gorgeous than ever, and her music has evolved into something new... the sonic creature she has created is not in any archetype or category, it is a being of its own. I hear her...

I just love her new album. It's about time a singer came out with a song about what is going on today in politics especially with our President.
I'm so tired of hip hop crap that I can't understand. ....and it's so refreshing to listen to a singer who sings so beautifully with lyrics that I'm able to hear and enjoy.
Big cheers to Tori! We love you! and thank you.
