key tracks.. sleeps with butterflies martha's foolish ginger the power of orange knickers cars and guitars when the beekeeper, tori's 9th album bulldozed its way into the uk top 10, i was elated. being a fan i was overjoyed at her commercial success. not that this matters to ms amos, but i was pleased that more people out there would discover her music... although all or tori's albums are great pieces of work, for me the beekeeper is her best album since little earthquakes. at 19songs long, you will be forgiven for thinking its going to be a drawn out affair, like boys for pele seemed, but the album flies by in style. 'parasol' is a great opener, followed by the r 'n' b tinged 'sweet the sting'. then comes the awesome duet with damien rice on the strangely titled 'the power of orange knickers'...a song that sounds like its going to be appaling, but instead gets into your head and stays there. 'cars and guitars' is another highlight, as tori uses metaphors from ahem..cars and guitars..to talk about sexually intimacy. my favourite tracks are 'sleeps with butterflies' and 'martha's foolish ginger' both of which showcase tori's remarkable vocal ability, on beautiful and poignant songs, which while still being true to her integrity, are accessible radio friendly love songs. this album is strong enough to keep the fans happy, and to introduce new fans to an artist thats always been about the musicRead full review
The Beekeeper posseses all the uniqueness of Tori yet opens up to a wider range of listeners offering more soothing melodies and easy listening beats. It is less dramatic than her previous albums but just as honest as ever. Her past albums have never been so straight forward as this album in their total intent and that might throw some of us off as long time listeners, but this album is worth owning. It does not disappoint in artistry as she explores some of the deeper issues as she has always done or in the creativeness behind the music. Although it might take some time getting used to, this upbeat and sweet album is not a disappointment.
an awesome album, so many songs of varying "toriness" great listne for any tori fan or non fan. old school florence and the machine for tori newbies!
