"Flavor" is a song written and recorded by Tori Amos, originally present on her 2009 album Abnormally Attracted to Sin as a downtempo song, and later released as the lead single from her 2012 album Gold Dust 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]
