Ocean to Ocean

Ocean to Ocean is the sixteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter and pianist Tori Amos. It was released on October 29, 2021, through Decca Records. The album was written during lockdown from the COVID-19 pandemic in Cornwall, England and featured the musicians collaborating remotely, with recording occurring in England, California, and Massachusetts. It is Amos's first studio album since Midwinter Graces to feature her typical backing band of Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, and Mac Aladdin on guitar. Amos described the album as "a record about your losses, and how you cope with them." The pandemic, lockdown, and death of Amos's mother all heavily influenced the lyrical content throughout the album. Musically, the album retains her signature piano-centric sound; her daughter Natashya Hawley contributes backing vocals on three tracks. Despite stalling at number 104 on the Billboard 200, Ocean to Ocean received highly positive reviews from critics. The album reached the top 40 in six countries, including the UK where it peaked at number 25.
