Flavor (Tori Amos song)
2012 single by Tori Amos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Flavor" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter and pianist Tori Amos, originally appearing on her tenth solo studio album Abnormally Attracted to Sin (2009) as a down-tempo song, and later released as the lead single from her thirteenth studio album Gold Dust (2012) which features classical rearrangements of selected songs from her oeuvre. Amos stated she felt the song was overlooked on its original album and had to be re-worked and noticed on Gold Dust.[2]
