News: Tori Amos Releases New Single From Forthcoming Album In Times of Dragons

Acclaimed US singer-songwriter, pianist and composer Tori Amos today releases new single “Gasoline Girls”, the latest chapter in the unfolding narrative of forthcoming studio album In Times of Dragons, due out on May 1, 2026 via Universal/Fontana.

Following the previously released singles “Stronger Together” and “Shush”, “Gasoline Girls” offers another glimpse into the album’s allegorical world – a landscape shaped by power, escape and the alliances that form in resistance.

“Gasoline Girls” arrives at a crucial moment in the album’s unfolding narrative. As the fictionalised version of Amos continues her flight from a dangerous and powerful billionaire husband, she encounters the Gasoline Girls, a rebellious collective who help her continue her escape.

Singing “we will tend the fire,” the Gasoline Girls are a Lesbian motor bike gang who have chosen to be powerful and visible together. Within the mythic landscape of In Times of Dragons, they embody solidarity, defiance and collective strength and their arrival marks the moment when resistance begins to take shape.

Amos explains:

“This is a metaphor for many different transformations – from a teenage girl becoming a woman, to shifts in gender identity or fundamental belief systems, to the life changes that come with pregnancy, motherhood and eventually menopause. The song explores the emotions that come with leaving one version of yourself behind and stepping into another.”

Across a career spanning more than 35 years, Amos has built one of modern music’s most distinctive catalogues, earning nine Grammy nominations and selling over 12 million albums worldwide.

In Times of Dragons unfolds as a sweeping allegorical narrative set against a dangerous political moment. Across the album, Amos introduces a cast of characters as the protagonist journeys across America, gradually transforming into the dragon she will need to become in order to confront the forces pursuing her.

Amos will support the album with her most extensive tour in over a decade, performing across the UK, Europe and the US throughout 2026, including a return to London’s Royal Albert Hall.
