The Beekeeper

by Tori Amos

The Beekeeper cover art

Another complex concept album, 'The Beekeeper' is loosely structured around ancient Gnostic myths and the art of beekeeping. The album is one of her most polished and adult contemporary-leaning works, blending her signature piano-led songwriting with a prominent gospel choir and soulful R&B influences. It's a sprawling and often mellow exploration of love, death, and female spirituality.
