Tori Amos releases the first single from In Times of Dragons
Amos has issued "Stronger Together" as the lead preview of In Times of Dragons, the album she formally announced back in January. The song is presented as the record's first single and is framed by Amos as an early entry in the album narrative fans will hear when the record arrives on May 1.
Daughter Tash appears on backing vocals and in the album story
On the track, Amos’ daughter Tash sings backup. Amos also places a character called The Daughter within the album's storyline, writing that "One of the many characters I meet on the journey is The Daughter. We spend time and sing together, " tying Tash's vocal role on the single to that narrative moment.
The album's central drama: fleeing a "sadistic billionaire Lizard Demon husband"
Amos describes In Times of Dragons as a story driven by a narrator fleeing the character she names as her "sadistic billionaire Lizard Demon husband. " That character's threat includes the possibility of being captured and dragged back to the Lizard Demon’s penthouse, a danger that pushes the narrator to take action.
People, secrecy and a flight to the deep south of the US
Part of the narrative detail Amos shares is that, during her flight, the narrator "came across people I had not been allowed to see in years, and they had not wanted to see me because of the relationship I found myself in. " To avoid capture and to throw the antagonist and his henchman off her trail, the narrator says she runs to the deep south of the US, a setting that Amos locates as a deliberate tactical move in the story.
Release timing and what to expect on May 1
Listeners will encounter the full story when In Times of Dragons is released on May 1. "Stronger Together" serves as the album's opening public statement: a single that pairs Amos’ vocal lead with Tash on backing vocals and signals the record's thematic focus on danger, pursuit and the relationships that shape the narrator's escape.
