Abnormally Attracted to Sin

Abnormally Attracted to Sin is the tenth solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos. It was released in the UK on 18 May 2009 and in the US on 19 May 2009 as a digital download, standard CD, and deluxe limited edition CD/DVD. The album debuted on Billboard 200's "top ten" list at #9, making it her seventh album to do so. The album can be cited as the first non-conceptualized and self-proclaimed "personal album" by the singer-songwriter in over 10 years. While Amos had previously stated that she would be releasing music independently following her departure from Epic Records, a chance encounter with a former mentor of hers in the music industry led to a deal with Universal Republic Records, making Abnormally Attracted to Sin her first release under her new label. As with previous albums, Abnormally Attracted to Sin was recorded at Martian Studios in Cornwall with long-time collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, Mac Aladdin on guitar, and John Philip Shenale on strings.
