TL;DR

Tori Amos’s 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons, is a dark, allegorical and politically urgent concept record centered on a figure she calls the Lizard Demon. It marks a rare collaboration with her daughter Natasha Hawley, who co-wrote on tracks after improvised piano sessions, including Strawberry Moon and Stronger Together. Amos explains the album’s urgency, her use of allegory to comment on current times, and why she skipped Lilith Fair in the 1990s as she pursued sovereignty, while highlighting how muses guide her live performances as she gears up for a European tour.
