Unrepentant Geraldines by Tori Amos on DVD and CD.
Unrepentant Geraldines is Tori Amos' 14th studio album and first album of original pop/rock songs in 5 years.
After a series of albums that crossed the boundaries between pop and classical, Unrepentant Geraldines sees Tori return to the unique brand of brightly melodic singer songwriter style that catapulted her to stardom over two decades ago.
Fusing themes such as women in society, motherhood and contemporary events, and also drawing inspiration from the work of visual artists, painters such as Cezanne, she has created a landmark album, demonstrating why she is regarded as one of the most remarkable artists of recent times.
The album title was inspired by a painting of Daniel Maclise, depicting the Irish folk tale character Geraldine in the pose of the repentant Magdalene. This sparked a process of thoughts about women’s repentance and their struggles throughout history.
Recorded in the semi-isolation of her studio in Cornwall, England, highlights include a touching duet, “Promise” with her 13-year old daughter Natasha, that documents the mother/daughter relationship, the outstanding lead single Trouble’s Lament inspired by southern blues and classic Johnny Cash storytelling
