In spite of the various crises that have occurred since 2017's Native Invader, Tori Amos emerged with 'Ocean to Ocean', her most personal work in years - an album bursting with warmth and connection, with deep roots in her earliest songwriting. Written during the 3rd Lockdown in Cornwall in 2021, 'Ocean to Ocean' is a universal story of going to rock bottom and renewing yourself all over again. For a record written within limited surroundings, two things are remarkable - its rich stylistic variation, from tango to wide-screen romance, and the big-heartedness of songs, which run almost like a series of love letters to family both present and absent. It is, in one sense, her most Cornish record yet: the artwork says it all, with Amos shot on the cliffs, and in the caves on the county's south-west shores.
