Abnormally Attracted to Sin is the tenth solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos. It was released in the UK on 18 May 2009 and in the US on 19 May 2009 as a digital download, standard CD, and deluxe limited edition CD/DVD. The album debuted on Billboard 200's "top ten" list at #9, making it her seventh album to do so. The album can be cited as the first non-conceptualized and self-proclaimed "personal album" by the singer-songwriter in over 10 years.
While Amos had previously stated that she would be releasing music independently following her departure from Epic Records, a chance encounter with a former mentor of hers in the music industry led to a deal with Universal Republic Records, making Abnormally Attracted to Sin her first release under her new label.
As with previous albums, Abnormally Attracted to Sin was recorded at Martian Studios in Cornwall with long-time collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, Mac Aladdin on guitar, and John Philip Shenale on strings.Abnormally Attracted to Sin is the tenth solo studio album by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos.

She is a classically trained musician with a mezzo-soprano vocal range. Having already begun composing instrumental pieces on piano, Amos won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University at the age of five, the youngest person ever to have been admitted. She had to leave at the age of eleven when her scholarship was discontinued for what Rolling Stone described as "musical insubordination". Amos was the lead singer of the short-lived 1980s pop group Y Kant Tori Read before achieving her breakthrough as a solo artist in the early 1990s. Her songs focus on a broad range of topics, including sexuality, feminism, politics, and religion.
Her charting singles include "Crucify", "Silent All These Years", "God", "Cornflake Girl", "Caught a Lite Sneeze", "Professional Widow", "Spark", "1000 Oceans", "Flavor" and "A Sorta Fairytale", her most commercially successful single in the U.S. to date. Amos has received five MTV VMA nominations and eight Grammy Award nominations, and won an Echo Klassik award for her Night of Hunters classical crossover album. She is listed on VH1's 1999 "100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll" at number 71.
