Singer, song-writer and pianist Tori Amos returns to Rome for the first Italian date of her Sinful Attraction Tour in which she will introduce new tracks off from her new released album entitled Abnormally Attracted To Sin. Amos, also known as the “the goddess of rock” for the die hard fans, is one of the most important figures in contemporary music scene; anyone who has followed her music career, will be able to recognize the overturns from her music in the 90’s thanks to intense activities like Little Earthquakes (1992), Under the Pink (1994) and From the Choirgirl Hotel (1998).

Known for her emotional concerts, Amos will be doing some new covers from her previous albums.. Amos have performed in beyond 1,000 dates in the theatres and prestigious well-know concert venues all over the world. Her last world tour in 2007, has been defined by BBC as "The return of Tori Amos as she had defined herself as well… beyond its end". In the peak of her career Amos has done covers of classic rock tracks such as Angie by the Rolling Stones, Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, Thank You by Led Zeppelin, I am on fire by Bruce Springsteen and New Age by Lou Reed.
