Tori Amos's Strange Little Girls stands as one of the most daring cover albums ever recorded, featuring the acclaimed pianist's radical reinterpretations of songs originally performed by male artists. Released in 2001 and recorded at her Cornwall studio, this ambitious project showcases Amos transforming tracks from artists as diverse as Eminem, The Beatles, Slayer, and Velvet Underground through her distinctive piano-driven arrangements and powerful vocal interpretations.
This special "Happiness Is A Warm Gun Version" presents Amos's most controversial reimaginings, including her devastating spoken-word deconstruction of Eminem's "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" and a haunting, gothic take on Slayer's "Raining Blood" that strips the metal anthem down to half-speed piano and atmospheric textures. The collection demonstrates Amos's fearless artistic vision, turning aggressive male perspectives into introspective, often unsettling explorations of gender and power dynamics that only she could deliver with such compelling intensity.
