(December 10, 2025 – Los Angeles, CA) Tori Amos’ daring 2001 concept album Strange Little Girls returns February 20 in an expanded edition that adds rarities and previously unreleased recordings. The GRAMMY® Award-nominated album finds Amos reinterpreting a dozen songs written by men, shifting them to a female perspective and performing each through one of 12 personas she created for the project.

 

Strange Little Girls (Expanded Edition) combines the original album and B-sides with two unreleased covers from the sessions. One, Bruce Springsteen’s “Growin’ Up,” is available digitally today. The vinyl version is available with one of 12 different covers, each showing a different character Amos embodied on the album. Pre-Order HERE.

 

Celebrating 25 years this September, Strange Little Girls remains one of Amos’ most striking and conceptually ambitious works. To bring the concept to life, she collaborated with renowned makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin, who helped transform her into 12 different women—each with her own backstory. Photographs of those characters appeared in the original liner notes along with their stories. Amos recorded the album at her Martian Engineering studio in Cornwall, England, joined by longtime collaborators Matt Chamberlain (drums), Jon Evans (bass), Adrian Belew (guitar), and John Philip Shenale (arrangements).

 

She chose a diverse group of songs to cover, ranging from the Beatles and Depeche Mode to Tom Waits and the Velvet Underground. The album delivered some truly unforgettable interpretations, turning Eminem’s “’97 Bonnie & Clyde” into a chilling monologue of maternal rage and reimagining Slayer’s “Raining Blood” as a slow, eerie meditation. The expanded edition also restores two standout B-sides: moving renditions of Alice Cooper’s “Only Women Bleed” and David Bowie’s “After All.”

 

The project debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200—one of Amos’ highest chart entries—extending the chart success that began with her 1992 debut. It also earned her two GRAMMY® nominations: Best Alternative Music Album and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for her version of The Stranglers’ “Strange Little Girl.”

 

Amos will also be touring the UK and Europe starting in Spring 2026, supporting her 18th studio album, In Time Of Dragons, releasing next year. The tour kicks off on April 8 in Sheffield, UK and wraps on May 30 in Vilnius, Lithuania. See below for a full list of dates, and purchase tickets by visiting https://toriamos.com/tour/.
