Go GrrlPower Rangers!
You gotta hand it to Tori. Only she could turn an album of covers into a dark musical
Vagina Monologues ("Strange Little Girls," 2001). Only she could turn a cross-country trek of one woman into a chart-placing album ("Scarlet's Walk," 2002, which climbed to #7 in the US). And now the sensuous-but-sassy (though slightly sensitive) storyteller returns on May 1, with "American Doll Posse," an album chronicling not one but five different personalities - reportedly named Santa, Clyde, Isabel, Tori, and Pip, according to the
Wikipedia.org article - pictured above. The first single is a rollicking country-tinged song, "Big Wheel" (formerly called "I'm a M.I.L.F.") which you can hear streaming on
Tori's official site.
For most sane musicians, this kind of task - create five distinct personalities and give each of them a life in the process of a single CD - may prove daunting. But it's just another day in the life for Tori. And Pip.

This is very intriguing. I love how it looks like she's created her own universe.

Part of me is worried this will be too over-the-top, and part confident that it will work.
