Tori Amos previews In Times of Dragons with “Stronger Together”
"Stronger Together" is presented as the first single from In Times of Dragons, an album Amos formally announced in January. The project is framed as a concept album set for release this spring, and the new single serves as an entry point to the larger story Amos has outlined. The album’s release date is set for May 1, and the single’s arrival begins the public listening phase for that record.
Daughter Tash joins 'Stronger Together'
On the recording of "Stronger Together, " Amos is joined by her daughter Tash on backup vocals. The presence of Tash on the track is presented as a duet-like contribution that highlights a familial vocal partnership within the song. That collaboration is a prominent element of the single’s announcement and performance narrative.
Live debut and covers in London piano room
Today Amos appeared in a radio piano room at London's Maida Vale Studios for a special performance in support of the new LP. Backed by the Concert Orchestra, she delivered a set that mixed a classic from her catalog, a Rolling Stones cover, the live debut of her new single, and a Bob Dylan cover. The sequence included a performance of "Cornflake Girl, " a rendition of "Beast of Burden, " the first live presentation of "Stronger Together, " and a version of "The Times They Are A-Changin'. " The live debut brought the studio single into a concert context and added two well-known covers to the short set.
Album narrative: In Times of Dragons
Amos describes In Times of Dragons as a story that parables current dangerous times in which democracy is on the line. The album’s narrative follows a protagonist who is fleeing from a character described as a sadistic billionaire Lizard Demon husband. During that flight the protagonist encounters people she had not been allowed to see in years, and those people initially had not wanted to see her because of the relationship she was in. To avoid being captured and dragged back to the Lizard Demon’s penthouse, the protagonist runs to the deep south of the US to throw him and his henchman off her trail. One of the characters she meets on this journey is The Daughter; the protagonist and The Daughter spend time together and sing together, a development that ties directly to the presence of Tash on the album’s lead single.
Timing and immediate next steps
With the single released yesterday and the live debut taking place today, the early rollout for In Times of Dragons is underway. The album’s May 1 arrival remains the next fixed milestone in the campaign, and the combination of family collaboration, narrative ambition, and live presentation sets expectations for further reveals as the release date approaches. Stay tuned for more material tied to the album’s concept and performances leading up to May 1; schedule details are subject to change.
