The Most Wonderful Time of the Tori Amos Year...
Clips leaked!
Bouncing Off Clouds: Oh my. This is Tori's Cloudbusting/Running Up That Hill. I like this. I like that she's letting Matt play.... and I love the guitar riffage sounds. I think this song and I will be friends. I'm far more impressed than I was with the SWB and C&G leaked clips, that's for sure. Oh it's lovely! It's fun and bouncy. It's dancey-80's-gorgeous.
Big Wheel: Oh my. THIS IS AWESOME. I know this is going to be a song like Hoochie Woman, where I'm the weird fan who loves it and the majority of fans loathe it. But that's okay. This FUCKING ROCKS. It's got this sassy vibe to it that throws back to the (obviously referenced) Proud Mary, but the vibe also fucked Sweet Home Alabama. It's got an edgey fun feel like her cover of Do It Again. Upon lyrical reflection, and of course this is just a snippet.... this is what Hoochie Woman SHOULD have been. Even the M-I-L-F amuses me.
Phew! Considering Epic has lame taste in Tori single choices (ASF is a good song and all, but it's soooo commericial, like Taxi Ride; SWB? They promoted C&G like it was good!)... this bodes well. For me anyway. I feel so much better now.
