"Under the Pink" is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos. The album was released on January 31, 1994, by Atlantic Records, and was produced by Amos and Eric Rosse.
The creation of "Under the Pink" followed a period of intense creative activity for Amos. She had just released her critically acclaimed debut album "Little Earthquakes" in 1992, and had been touring extensively to promote it. During this time, Amos began writing new material for her next album, drawing inspiration from personal experiences, mythology, and literature.
The album features a range of musical styles, from the haunting piano ballads that Amos is known for, to more experimental tracks that incorporate elements of rock, pop, and electronic music. Lyrically, the songs on "Under the Pink" deal with a variety of themes, including love, loss, spirituality, and identity.
The album's lead single, "Cornflake Girl," became a hit for Amos, reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart and earning her a new legion of fans. The song's catchy chorus and feminist themes made it an anthem for many young women in the 1990s.
Other standout tracks on the album include "God," a powerful and introspective ballad that addresses Amos's complicated relationship with religion, and "Pretty Good Year," a reflective song that looks back on the ups and downs of the past year.
"Under the Pink" was a commercial and critical success, debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart and earning a platinum certification in the United States. The album solidified Amos's status as a major force in the alternative music scene of the 1990s, and is considered a classic of the era.
