As soon as Tori Amos released her debut solo LP – 1992’s Little Earthquakes – she drew comparisons to the queen of progressive/art pop-rock, Kate Bush. However, in a 1998 interview with Q magazine, to promote her fourth studio record, From The Choirgirl Hotel, Amos admitted that although she was “blown away” by Bush’s music, she wasn’t directly influenced by it.
“I was shocked, because the last thing you want to hear is that you sound like someone else,” Amos said. “But I could hear a resonance in the voice where you’d think we were distantly related or something.”
