Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Tori Amos has officially unveiled the release date and artwork for her 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons, arriving 1 May 2026 via Universal/Fontana. The announcement comes as the Grammy-nominated pioneer prepares to embark on her most extensive European tour in a decade.
The new collection is described as a metaphorical exploration of resilience, pitting "Democracy against Tyranny." Known for her fearless activism and intricate musicianship, Amos recorded the album with longtime collaborators Jon Evans and Ash Soan. The artwork, revealed today, was captured by photographer Kasia Wozniak using a rare vintage RA-4 large-format process to create a "ritualistic" visual identity for the record.
