Have you ever listened to a Tori Amos record? If so, then you know exactly what to expect from Ocean to Ocean. Amos has had a fairly consistent track record of releasing a new album every two-to-three years since her phenomenal debut Little Earthquakes in 1992, so, for fans, there’s been a bit of wait for this one, with her previous album, Native Invader, releasing just over four years ago. Is Ocean to Ocean worth the wait? Yeah, sure.
A major criticism of well-established artists is that they can find a motif that works for them and then spend album-after album in that comfortable funk without needing to offer more. It may seem that Amos is getting a pass on such a thing, but there’s a big difference. For most artists, there’s a cynical and perfunctory edge to just going into a studio and dumping out an album of music that sounds derivative of their last four. With Amos, there’s a true sincerity to her music and her as a person, where it feels like she’s really trying to express herself to her audience and give them a message that will inspire hope and make them better people for having listened to it. Besides, it’s not like you can accuse Tori Amos of all people of being too conventional. “Conventional” to Amos would be considered “experimental” to many others.
And, for what it’s worth, Ocean to Ocean is not a cynical and perfunctory album: it’s full of emotion that’s assiduous and sincere, and it’s effective, and it works. However, suppose you’ve ever listened to any of her previous albums. In that case, you won’t be surprised by what this one offers: an experimental, earth-infused, folky Americana, sombre-and-sweet, ballad-prone, alternative piano album, accompanied by really earnest lyrics with feminist themes and allusions to spirituality. It’s a winning formula - and if it’s not broke, don’t fix it - but you’ve definitely heard it before.
Songs like “Addition of Light Divides,” “Swim to New York State,” “Flowers Burn to Gold,” “29 Years,” “How Glass is Made,” and “Birthday Baby” are just beautiful. The closing song “Birthday Baby” has a cinematic quality to it, almost like it is Amos’s audition to do the theme song for the next Bond film, but it’s also so very devastating and heart-breaking. Songs like “Spies” and “Speaking with Trees” manage to really get the blood flowing and make the hair on the back of your neck stick up, as Amos often does with her melodies, and the latter has an amazing and unique chord progression. “Metal Water Wood” is probably the most musically exploratory track on the album, with a very glassy piano and guitar and a soft, trepidations musicality that feels like the song could fall over and smash into a million pieces if you’re not careful around it or make too loud of a noise.

Tori Amos has said that her new album—her 16th—is "about your losses, and how you cope with them." For her, that includes pandemic lockdown and the Capitol riots, as viewed from her remote farm in Cornwall, England. The area inspired her with its ancient mythology, including tales of pixies and giants; the fairytale Jack the Giant Slayer, aka Jack and the Beanstalk, was born of Cornish lore. As always, Amos herself isn't afraid to take on so-called giants. "Devil's Bane" warns of men who would try to control women and has a sort of Led Zeppelin feel, with its witchy guitar and big drums, courtesy of Pearl Jam's Matt Chamberlain (who last worked with Amos on 2009's Midwinter Graces). "Ocean to Ocean" places blame for political insurrection—"There are those who never give a goddamn for anything that they're breaking/ There are those that only give a goddamn for the profit that they're making"—a faint guitar cry like an accusatory echo. Yet there's hope as she sings, "There is a way out of this" while uplifting strings echo her optimism. Ocean to Ocean contains surprises, too. Over the years, Amos's theatricality has evolved from Under the Pink's baroque stylings and Little Earthquakes' Kate Bush-inspired drama. But there are some nostalgic moments on this record. "Addition of Light Divided" is especially Bush-like, and melancholy ballad "Flowers Burn to Gold," comfortingly, feels like it could've been lifted from one of those old albums—with Amos' left-hand piano work as heavy as the physical feelings of mourning, while her right hand tries to pull up out of it. "I am fascinated when someone has gone through a tragedy, and how they work through their grief. That is where the gold is ..." Amos has said. "I'm going to meet you in the muck." For "Speaking With Trees," with its spritely piano and galloping drums, that means turning to nature for comfort. On "Swim to New York State" (a song of loss, driven by moody strings) she's still in the bargaining stage of grief: "I'd swim to New York State from the Cornish coast of England, for even just a day," she sings, searching for reconnection. "Birthday Baby" slinks along like a tango, celebrating resilience: "This year, you survived through it all/ A cosmic apocalypse, a stab to the heart." And "29 Years" is remarkably, powered by a looming undertow of bass and drums, along with a sort of reggae-rock guitar. "Spies," meanwhile, is as "poppy" a song as Amos has penned in years. Written to quell her daughter's nightmares and fear of bats, it's a "lullaby" set to a racing beat and busy, mischievous bass, with absurd imagery about "spies" who chase away night terrors: "Scary men dipped in mustard (English mixed with Dijon)/ Mrs. Crabby Apple/ Won't get custard/ Won't get crumble." It's playful—ready to be a great TV show theme—and totally suits her.
On October 29, 2021, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Tori Amos released her latest studio offering “Ocean to Ocean” via Decca Records, which is utterly fantastic. Digital Journal has the scoop.
It opens with “Addition of Light Divided,” which has a stirring vibe to it, that instantly lures listeners in this new well-crafted collection. It is followed by the atmospheric “Speaking with Trees,” where her vocals are simply too good to be mortal, and “Devil’s Bane,” which is emotional and coupled with a retro 90s vibe to it.
Amos slows down the tempo on the expressive “Swim to New York State,” and she picks up the pace with the upbeat and nonchalant “Spies.”
The title track ballad “Ocean to Ocean” is sheer bliss, featuring her crisp, crystalline voice. The piano-laden “Flowers Burn to Gold” is vivid, haunting, and poetic, while “Metal Water Wood” is gloriously entertaining. Amos maintains great control over her dynamic voice and range.
After the hypnotic “29 Years,” it closes with the resonant “How Glass is Made” and on a fitting note with the harking “Birthday Baby,” where she leaves her listeners wanting to hear more.
