Unrepentant Geraldines is the fourteenth studio album by American musician Tori Amos. It was released on May 9, 2014 through Mercury Classics. The album marks a return to pop and rock music after several releases in the classical genre. Recorded at her own Martian Engineering Studios, the album was self-produced and mixed by her husband Mark Hawley and Marcel van Limbeek.
The album features a stripped-back, acoustic sound with many of the songs' arrangements consisting solely of Amos's vocals and piano. Lyrically, many songs were influenced by visual art; both paintings and photography served as inspiration for the album's material.
Unrepentant Geraldines was critically and commercially successful. The album reached number 7 in the US,[2] becoming Amos's eighth top 10 album in her home country, and charted within the top twenty in eight other countries. Reviews were generally positive, with many finding the album to be one of Amos's strongest releases in years. The album's stripped-back arrangements and vocal performances attracted particular praise. The album was supported by the Unrepentant Geraldines Tour, which ran from May through November of 2014 and featured Amos performing solo.
