Album Notes & Community Reviews

Tori Amos's first seasonal album is a unique and beautifully orchestrated collection of winter-themed songs. 'Midwinter Graces' re-imagines traditional carols and hymns through her signature art-pop and classical lens, alongside several original compositions. It's a peaceful and often pagan-inflected take on Christmas music, featuring lush arrangements for orchestra and big band.
