American Doll Posse

American Doll Posse is the ninth studio album by singer-songwriter Tori Amos; it was released in 2007. Like her previous albums Strange Little Girls (2001) and Scarlet's Walk (2002), American Doll Posse is a concept album, which entails five female personae Amos developed based on Greek mythology. Musically, the album is a drastic departure for Amos. Having stated that the box set A Piano: The Collection (2006) was the summation of her previous work and the end of an era, the album elicits a new chapter in her career and is her heaviest, most rock-influenced album to date. American Doll Posse serves as Amos' third and final album under her contract with Epic Records, as Amos announced a year after the album's release that she would be operating independently of major record labels.
