LITTLE EARTHQUAKES

Little Earthquakes was such an excellent debut album for Tori Amos. It's quite an emotionally intense album. She delivers such distinctive, sensual, haunting, dark music and melodies. She can often be cheerful, humourous and uplifting too. As a whole this album is quite a ride. This artist really has a lot of qualities. It's easy to compare her with Kate Bush and I'd say some touches of Joni Mitchell, for she sings, plays the piano, has a talent for writing great poetic lyrics etc. However, there is still something different about her sound, approach as well as her own brand of wide-ranging vocals and dabbles in many musical styles. Best songs for me are "Precious Things", "Winter" and "Silent All These Years". Highly recommended!
