NEW YORK (Billboard) - The holidays already are looking bright for fans of singer-songwriter Tori Amos fans, who will release "Midwinter Graces," her first collection of holiday music.
Due November 10 on Universal Republic, the 12-song set features holiday standards such as "Star of Wonder" as well as original compositions such as "Pink and Glitter" and "Our New Year." Amos recruited longtime collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, Mac Aladdin on guitars and arranger John Philip Shenale.
"Midwinter Graces" will conclude a busy year for Amos, who released "Abnormally Attracted to Sin," her 10th studio album, this past May. According to Nielsen SoundScan, "Sin" has sold 92,000 copies and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200.
According to a release, Amos has had a long history with seasonal themed music, honing her chops as a youth at the church where her father was minister. Amos has been known to cover Christmas staples "Little Drummer Boy" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" in concert.
Amos is on tour in Europe through October 10 and will head to Australia in November. No holiday-themed shows are scheduled at this point.
