Tori Amos is back with brand new music entitled “Speaking With Trees,” the first offering from her new album "Ocean to Ocean." Set for release via Decca on October 29, ‘Ocean To Ocean’ is, according to Amos, “a record about your losses, and how you cope with them.” “Thankfully, when you’ve lived long enough, you can recognize you’re not feeling like the mom you want to be, the wife you want to be, the artist you want to be,” she added. “I realized that to shift this; you have to write from the place where you are. I was in my private hell, so I told myself, then that’s where you write from – you’ve done it before….” "Speaking With Trees" is the second track on "Ocean To Ocean" and addresses the absence of live music during the coronavirus pandemic. Amos revealed that she had initially been writing “a very different album” last year that would be released before the US election in November. "Ocean to Ocean" consists of realizations from her time in the lockdown and explores what she learned of love, friendship, and splitting her time between Cornwall, Florida and on the road. It also strains from the impact of the storm on the Capitol on January 6 that resonated with Amos.
