Thursday music corner: Singer-songwriter and pianist Tori Amos (b. Myra Ellen Amos in North Carolina, 1963), a child prodigy on the piano, came to fame after an abortive record-company attempt to fashion her into a popstar (1988's Y Tori Kant Read), gaining widespread attention for her richly autobiographical songwriting and classically-trained piano performances. Her first five solo albums all went platinum in America, and her second album, Under the Pink, entered the UK album charts at number one in February 1994. She has released 16 solo albums plus two live albums, and scored a UK pop number one in 1996 with the Armand van Helden remix of her track Professional Widow.
Big Wheel was the first single from Amos' 2007 album American Doll Posse. The album features 23 tracks, each under the aegis of one of five personas derived from Greek goddesses. Some American radio stations refused to play Big Wheel due to the lyric, "I am a M.I.L.F, don't you forget".
