Since her debut album Little Earthquakes in 1992, the North Carolina-born singer, pianist, and songwriter has built a body of work characterized by fearless storytelling and a unique musical voice.
In Times of Dragons, the singer’s eighteenth studio album, is a worthy continuation of her oeuvre to date: a sweeping, lyrical journey of perseverance and spiritual awakening, where the desire for freedom confronts the forces that seek to dominate and silence the world. “In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the struggle between democracy and tyranny, reflecting the current, deliberately created and horrific decline of democracy – by the actions of the ‘dictator-believing lizard monsters’ who are usurping America,” said Tori Amos.
The album’s release will be accompanied by the artist’s biggest European tour in a decade, which will take her through seventeen countries between April and May 2026. This time, she will be accompanied by her old, loyal musical partners: musical director and bassist Jon Evans, drummer Ash Soan, and three talented backing vocalists: Liv Gibson, Deni Hlavlinka and Hadley Kennary. The tour concerts will feature songs from the new album – In Times of Dragons, as well as the most memorable compositions of the artist’s 35-year, unparalleled career, from a great oeuvre that has earned her eight Grammy nominations and more than has become a defining chapter in contemporary music with twelve million albums sold. With In Times of Dragons, he once again masterfully intertwines his political and personal message, in a deeply felt, thought-provoking work that resonates with the urgent, disturbing atmosphere of the present, while remaining true to his artistic courage and unique musical vision.
Tori Amos has the capability of turning a beautiful song into something even more astounding, with overwhelming emotions.
