Tori Amos showcases her remarkable ability to reimagine familiar songs on Strange Little Girls, her bold 2001 covers album that transforms twelve well-known tracks from artists ranging from Neil Young to Eminem. Recorded at her Cornwall studio, this ambitious project strips songs down to their emotional core, with Amos employing pained vocals and minimalist arrangements often built around piano, strings, and drum machines.
The album's most compelling moments demonstrate Amos's talent for making songs entirely her own, particularly her haunting reinterpretation of Eminem's "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," which she transforms through whispered, emotionally weighted vocals that expose the song's underlying brutality. While critics found the collection to be a mixed bag upon its September 2001 release, standout tracks like "I'm Not in Love" and her daring take on Slayer's "Raining Blood" showcase an artist unafraid to venture into unexpected territory and make it distinctly hers.
