Tori Amos has shared “Stronger Together,” the first single from the album she formally announced back in January, In Times of Dragons. Amos’ daughter Tash sings backup on the track.
On Tuesday, Feb. 24, the singer, 62, released the first single, “Stronger Together,” from her upcoming album In Times of Dragons. The song features backing vocals from her 25-year-old daughter, Tash Hawley, whom she shares with husband Mark Hawley.
The album creates an immersive world with 10 distinct characters, per a press release. Each character is associated with a track.
Amos describes the song’s role in the album narrative thus: “In Times of Dragons is a story that parables the current dangerous times we are in—where democracy itself is on the line. As I’m fleeing from the character that is my sadistic billionaire Lizard Demon husband, I came across people I had not been allowed to see in years, and they had not wanted to see me because of the relationship I found myself in. To avoid being captured and dragged back to the Lizard Demon’s penthouse, I run to the deep south of the US to throw him and his henchman off my trail. One of the many characters I meet on the journey is The Daughter. We spend time
Adding insight on the single, Amos said it “is the culmination of our relationship as it is transformed with The Daughter choosing to stand by me no matter what challenges lay ahead. Whatever we will face in the future, we make a vow to each other that we’re Stronger Together.”
The song is even more of a family affair, according to the credits on the music video. Mark was credited for recording and mixing the track, while Tash also received a cowriting credit.
