Best Female Rock Vocal Performance: “Strange Little Girl”
Best Alternative Music Album:Strange Little GirlsIn 2001 Tori Amos released a unique collection of cover versions,Strange Little Girls. No stranger to putting her own individual stamp on other writers’ songs, what madeStrange Little Girlsso different was the conceptual nature of the project, where she tackled 12 songs written by men and interpreted them from her own unique persecutive. She chose a diverse group of songs to cover, ranging from theBeatlesandDepeche ModetoTom Waitsand theVelvet Underground. The album delivered some truly unforgettable interpretations, turningEminem’s “’97 Bonnie &amp Clyde” into a chilling monologue of maternal rage and reimaginingSlayer’s “Raining Blood” as a slow, eerie meditation.Amos recorded the album at her Martian Engineering studio in Cornwall, England, joined by longtime collaborators Matt Chamberlain (drums), Jon Evans (bass), Adrian Belew (guitar), and John Philip Shenale (arrangements). The project debuted at #4 on theBillboard200one of Amos’ highest chart entriesextending the chart success that began with her 1992 debut. It also earned her two GRAMMY nominations: Best Alternative Music Album and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for her version ofthe Stranglers’ “Strange Little Girl.”The original 12 track album has now been bolstered with four extra bonus tracks not on the original release:Alice Cooper’s “Only Women Bleed,”David Bowie’s “After All,” plus two unreleased songs,Bruce Springsteen’s “Growin’ Up” andElvis Costello’s “Hoover Factory.”The project remains one of Amos’ most striking and conceptually ambitious works. To
ing the concept to life, she collaborated with renowned makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin, who helped transform her into 12 different womeneach with her own backstory. Photographs of those characters appeared in the original liner notes along with their stories.Rhino are now releasing 12 different versions of the LP, which is available on vinyl for the very first time, with 12 different LP jackets, each featuring Tori as a different character she embodied on the album.
