Flavor (Tori Amos song)

"Flavor" is a song written and recorded by Tori Amos, originally appearing on her album Abnormally Attracted to Sin (2009) as a down-tempo song, and later released as the lead single from her album Gold Dust (2012) which features classical rearrangements of selected songs from her opus. Amos stated she felt the song was overlooked on its original album and had to be re-worked and noticed on Gold Dust.^[1]

Music video

The music video for "Flavor" was directed by Danielle Levitt and it features Amos walking the streets of New York City and encountering many different people, such as skaters, gospel women from Harlem, drag queens, breakdancers etc.^[2]
