Epic Records has signed Tori Amos, who parted ways with longtime label Atlantic Records last year, and will release the singer-songwriter’s new album on Oct. 29.
Amos self-produced the new release, titled “Scarlet’s Walk,” and recorded it in the same Cornwall, England studio where she recorded several of her previous albums. Backing Amos on the album are longtime collaborators Jon Evans on bass and Matt Chamberlain on drums.
“Scarlet’s Walk” is a “sonic novel of sorts which takes the listener on an aural journey of America’s recent and not-so-recent past,” according to Epic. “As the story moves from coast to coast, questions are asked and notions are challenged with each song representing a specific stop along the way.”
The album’s first single, “A Sorta Fairytale,” will hit radio in mid-September. Amos is planning a fall tour, the details of which haven’t been announced.
