Released in 1994, Under the Pink is the second solo album by Tori Amos. Upon its release, it peaked at #12 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and #1 in the UK. The album has been certified 2x Platinum in the US, Platinum in the UK, and Gold in Canada.

After sharing personal and emotional accounts on her stunning debut, Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos stirs those sensations up for an eclectic yet beautiful account of female security on Under the Pink. Being a woman, she’s always in question of her actions, calling out and interrogating the opposite sex for her own pleasure. But it’s not necessarily with a scolding tone. She’s playful with her signature piano accompaniment, but allows for a twisted mess of guitars, violins, and bass loops, which are quite enigmatic like Kate Bush as well. “Baker Baker” and “Bells for Her” are aching with ballad-esque beauty, but the seething “The Waitress” sparks Amos’ inner devil. She’s quaint at first, but rages into a scalding vocal queen. It makes her even more a pioneer for female originality and independence. Singles such as “God” and “Cornflake Girl” are sultry and provocative, depicting that she’s everything but shy. Under the Pink is typically melodic, but it contains a heavy desire. Amos is still breaking into something more definitive as both a woman and a singer/songwriter. The lyrical imagery is much more wide open, something that will become Amos’ ever-changing swan song. –MacKenzie Wilson
