Legendary singer‑songwriter Tori Amos has released a powerful new single titled “Stronger Together,” marking the first musical glimpse of her forthcoming 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons, set for release on May 1, 2026.
The track, which arrived on February 24, 2026, pairs Amos’ emotive piano work with backing vocals from her daughter, Tash Hawley, who also earned a co‑writing credit — a rare family collaboration that adds an intimate layer to the song’s message of unity and resilience. Unlike typical radio singles, “Stronger Together” serves as both a narrative and emotional anchor for In Times of Dragons, introducing a character known simply as The Daughter, whose bond with the narrator reflects the larger themes of strength and connection woven throughout the album.
Amos has described the album as a metaphorical exploration of contemporary social and political turmoil, with the story following a protagonist fleeing tyranny and encountering figures who shape her journey — including the song’s central figure, The Daughter. Critics and fans have reacted with mixed enthusiasm online, some praising the emotional depth and poignant vocal performances, while others debate how the song fits into Amos’ longstanding artistic legacy. While reactions vary, the release has undeniably stirred anticipation for the full record, with many noting that the track’s theme of solidarity resonates with the album’s larger allegorical narrative.
Amos plans to support In Times of Dragons with a major tour beginning in April, giving audiences around the world a chance to experience both the new material and beloved classics live.
