A pioneer across platforms, Tori Amos is a multiplatinum singer-songwriter, pianist and composer who’s illustrious 35-year career has generated over 12 million global album sales and eight Grammy nominations including for the soundtrack to her 2025 New York Times bestselling children’s book Tori and the Muses. Today, Tori announced the May 1st release date and unveiled the artwork for her 18th studio album “In Times of Dragons”.
Revered for building a multifaceted and unifying career of work defined by fearless activism and otherworldly musicianship, the new music track collection continues this storytelling tradition through a dynamic cast of characters. It is a powerful journey of resilience and awakening where the pursuit of freedom meets forces that seek to control and silence.
Tori shares, “In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America.”
The captivating In Times of Dragons album cover artwork (featured above) is also revealed today, intricately created using a unique vintage process. Photographer Kasia Wozniak worked with direct paper positives using the RA-4 process, shooting everything on a large-format camera. Says Woniak of the full artwork “Each photograph was slowly composed, photographed, and processed. It felt magical to weave Tori’s work and vision with my own. We moved from photograph to photograph with an intuitive rhythm, aligned in every shot. The process became a kind of ritual“. Speaking on the process of creating the album artwork Tori continues, “To work with Kasia and Stylist Karen Binns to bring the story and characters to life was a truly moving experience. Seeing our collaborations come to life, with them and the whole team will live with me forever“.
With In Times of Dragons, Tori once again brings together the political and the personal in a work which resonates with the urgency of modern times.
