THE REVIEW

Back in 1992, the American singer Tori Amos released her debut album.

"Little Earthquakes" is a rather difficult album, very intimate and at times melancholic and romantic; it's one of those records you listen to when you're alone and you want to hear something truly beautiful, something that touches your heart.

From a musical perspective, it can be said it is quite sparse: predominantly in almost all the tracks, only the piano, with its "classical" touch, makes the listening experience even more interesting. This is the case with wonderful songs like "Silent All These Years" and the nostalgic "Winter". But Amos does not give up on her musical passions; the album indeed contains various genres. It ranges from the simple pop rock of "Crucify" to the virtuosity of "Precious Things", from the lament for voice alone of "Me And A Gun" (one of the singer's most poignant tracks) to the blues of "Leather".

A different album, but not for that reason any less interesting, quite the opposite. Try it to believe it.

 "Little Earthquakes is gradually being born — a fresh, innovative sound rich with themes of great social importance."

 "Tori becomes a true idol in London venues, and everyone talks about this girl at the piano and her songs."


By Relator

 Tori Amos is not just a genius of music but writes and interprets a cultural and social manifesto with Little Earthquakes.

 Music is therapy and sweetness and especially answers and empathy.
