What Happened
Tori Amos has released her new single, “Stronger Together,” which is the first track from her upcoming 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons. The song features backing vocals from her daughter, Tash, and marks a significant return for the artist, who last released an album in 2021.
Why It Matters
Thematically, In Times of Dragons addresses contemporary issues, particularly the fragility of democracy. Amos describes the album as a narrative that parallels current societal challenges, where she portrays a character fleeing from a metaphorical “Lizard Demon husband.” This character’s journey introduces various figures, including The Daughter, who symbolizes resilience and support. Amos emphasizes the importance of unity in facing adversity, as reflected in the song’s message: “Whatever we will face in the future, we make a vow to each other that we’re Stronger Together.”
What’s Next
The album In Times of Dragons is set to be released on May 1. Following the album’s launch, Amos will embark on a summer North American tour, further engaging her audience with the themes explored in her new work.
