B Sides

After All
Only Women Bleed

 


Notes

This album of covers allowed Tori to recreate very familiar songs but with a feminine focus. It was at this time that tori was embattled with her record company (Atlantic) and she didn't wish her hostile record company to own songs that she had created. So the "girls" were reinterpretations rather than original work.

Further reading on tori's battle with Atlantic can be found in "Piece by Piece", which was co authored with Ann Powers.

Quotations

"It's like when you're an architect looking at another architect's plan," she said, "and you see how people solve problems that you might not solve in that way. That fascinates me. It was the same with sonic structure, crawling inside these songs, finding their secrets and how chord structures would resolve themselves. In a way, without knowing it, it rubs off on you. It was a fascinating experience for me, getting to know other people's girls."
