Tori Amos covers 'Creep'

Tori Amos performed a rendition of Radiohead's haunting debut single, 'Creep', at New York's Lizard Lounge on August 13.

Amos is currently promoting her 14th studio album, 'Unrepentant Geraldines', with a US tour.

Earlier this year, she told Rolling Stone that the album chronicles her experiences with visual art: 

"I've always been inspired by visual artists of all mediums because, as with music, art is not a job you can go to and leave from, but it is something that defines who and what you are.

"Visual artists shake up our brains and force us to look at everything, from objects we don't normally think twice about to people we might not have cared about. In one image, they can remind us of nature's power to enchant, as well as humankind's fruitless attempt to overpower her or simply second-guess her.

"Through the visual artist's application of tone, shape, pattern and pigment, I not only begin to see, but I can honestly say I begin to hear."

Amos' first musical, 'The Light Princess' opened at the National Theatre in London's South Bank in 2013.

The american singer-songwriter is no newcomer to covering alt-rock anthems, one of her better known covers, is Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. The track was released on her 'Winter' E.P.
