Tori Amos

"Trouble's Lament"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Mar 28, 2014

The first preview from Tori Amos' recently announced Unrepentant Geraldines is "Trouble's Lament," a dust-kicking Americana-styled cut that you can now hear ahead of the album's May 13 due date through Mercury Classics.

A spooky starting point of rustically strummed minor-key guitar melodies ushers in Amos tale of the personified Trouble making a break from Satan, hitting the road to try and start anew. Escaping the devil's lair, Trouble's convertible ride is scored by a sizzling drum shuffles, triangle taps, mellifluous rolling piano melodies and Amos' luscious, low-key vocals.

You can find out more about Trouble's journey by giving the song a stream down below.
