"Flavor"
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]

Peter Rauhofer mixes

In 2012 Peter Rauhofer, known for his dance remixes of several well known hits from artists including Cher, Madonna, Yoko Ono, and Pink, among others, was commissioned to remix the first single lifted from Gold Dust. An EP containing four remixes was released in late 2012. "Flavor" reached #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in February 2013.[3][4] This remix was Rauhofer's last mainstream release before his death in 2013.
