From The Choirgirl Hotel
From the choirgirl hotel was released in the UK on May 4, 1998, one day earlier than the US. This was Tori’s fourth solo and self-produced album. The first single from this album was Spark, and was one of the more radio-friendly songs to date. This album showed Tori’s more experimental side, toying with techno loops and classic rock rifs. The second single in many European markets was Raspberry Swirl; though in the US, the second single was Jackie’s Strength. The third single in the US was Cruel/Raspberry Swirl. The 4th single in the US was a remix single featuring remixes of the songs Jackie’s Strength and Father Lucifer. This was the first album that Tori recorded at her home studio in Cornwall, England.
