Tori Amos signs to Republic

Universal's Republic Records has entered into an interesting deal with Tori Amos which, I think, will have elements of the old 360 degree model to it. Well, label chief Monte Lipman said he and Amos would "jointly navigate [her] next release, as well as correlate other ventures in tandem with [her] prolific creative output", and I think that's what he meant. As part of the deal Republic will release Amos' new album next spring, every track on which will come with a "visualette", which may or may not be another way of saying a pop promo video.
