Product Overview
Her 9th studio album - written and producted by Tori herself, was recorded and mixed by Mark Hawley and Marcel van Limbeek at Martian Engineering Cornwall England.
American Doll Posse documents the lives of five women through their respective songs. As a whole the record has become the opportunity for women to reclaim the segmented pieces that habe been cut up within them. Women have been taught to take on specific roles rather than multiple roles. They are supposed to fit into tiny boxes - compartmentalizing. Each girl in American Doll Posse represents a different part of the female psyche and the record explores their individuality as well as how strong they are as a unit.
Demographic: core fan base, female 25+, music lovers (what kind of music do music haters listen to? they forgot the homos)

Tori Amos' new single, "Big Wheel" (Epic), is also heavy on the percussion, a bit of a roots-rocker crossed with KT Tunstall, until it takes a wacky Tori twist and she throws in a drum countdown and naughty bridge before the self- proclaimed hot mama gets back to business, making "Big Wheel" her most likable work in years.
