NEW YORK (Billboard) - Tori Amos has signed a deal with Universal Republic and is eyeing a late spring/early summer 2009 release for her tenth album.

The singer-songwriter recorded with Atlantic from 1992 to 2001, after which she signed with Epic. That deal, which yielded three studio albums, ended this summer.

Amos' new album will be a blend of music and corresponding visuals shot on HD and Super 8 over the course of the past year.

Amos is also writing a musical, "The Light Princess," for the British National Theater and in July unveiled a graphic novel, "Comic Book Tattoo," based on her catalog.
