Slaigan2 and Woj were the first to tell me about this small article in the Calendar section of the October 28, 2001 edition of the L.A. Times. The article states that Tori is "near an agreement with Epic Records" and will possibly leave Atlantic. The article also confirms that Tori "tentatively plans to release an album of
original songs sometime next year." Read the article at the LA Times web site or below. Thanks to the many Toriphiles who emailed me to confirm the existence of this article.
AMOS AMBLING? Tori Amos' "Strange Little Girls" came out just a
few weeks ago, but the distinctive singer-songwriter is close to
leaving Atlantic Records, which released that album and all her
previous work, for a new deal. With her Atlantic contract expiring
with "Girls," she is near an agreement with Epic Records.
"We're getting close, but the [new] contract is not finished," says
Amos' manager, Arthur Spivak. "Nothing is etched in stone." That
would seem to set up a tense situation with Atlantic, which is still
charged with promoting "Strange Little Girls," a strange little album
in which Amos has created a series of characters to reinvent
male-oriented songs from female perspectives.
But Spivak says that everything is going smoothly. "Atlantic is
working this album no differently, and there are still thoughts that
she could return to the label," he says. "The album's doing well.
Atlantic's done a great job of marketing her and there's still a long
way to go with this record."
Amos is touring in support of the album (she'll play the Wiltern
Theatre Nov. 15-17) and tentatively plans to release an album of
original songs sometime next year.
