TORI'S WIGS For ''Strange Little Girls,'' Amos assumes the personalities of the characters of which she sings
Credits
B
On Strange Little Girls, the famously eccentric chanteuse not only reimagines -- from a woman's point of view -- songs by such disparate male acts as the Boomtown Rats and Slayer, but poses Cindy Sherman-style in the CD artwork as the characters she's conjured. The conceptual conceit might be lost on fans who can't figure out what inspired Amos to appear, for instance, as a Goth chick for 10cc's ''I'm Not in Love.'' Still, ''Girls'' is largely a success, even if most cuts sound traditionally Tori. She lays bare the pathos of Eminem's '''97 Bonnie and Clyde'' and the stark gravity of Depeche Mode's ''Enjoy the Silence.'' Part off-the-rails feminist art project, part sheer genius.
