Review:
"Slow like honey, heavy with mood". Fiona Apple's own words describe perfectly the overall feel of her 1996 debut, Tidal. This is the album that burst her onto the singer/songwriter scene, and being only 18 years old at the time of it's release...it's amazing to see the maturity of her songwriting displayed throughout. The consistency, the intelligent lyrical content, the unmistakable knack for creating cascading melodies and intricate song work...it is all present here. An artist of her age should not be capable of such a musical feat. Only a true talent can display such wonderful musicianship and style.

This album achieved massive success, catapulted by the leading single "Criminal". I'm sure most of you remember this song, as it was one of the biggest hits of the year and was accompanied by a rather sexual and odd music video that recieved a lot of publicity, both good and bad. This song alone has proved to be one of the greatest pop singles released in the past decade, but is however not a worthy indication of the overall sound and feel of the album. This is the opening act by an artist who has put out albums of critical and commercial acclaim since. This may not have the maturity, originality, and flare of "Extraordinary Machine" or "When the Pawn...", but it's a promising introduction to a potentially illustrious career.

The overall sound of this album can be described in many ways. It's dark, it's beautiful, it's heartfelt (and at times heartbreaking), it's sultry, it's emotional, it's everything pop music should be. Her unique voice and masterful piano skills really help drive this album. Artists her age, whenever there are any in pop music, are usually filling the airwaves with bubble-gum pop music compiled of completely uninspired and bland lyrics about teenage break ups and cute boys. While Fiona Apple does focus on some of these things, she looks at them in a much more intricate and deep way. Think of someone like Britney Spears, had they sat down and thought about what it all means, looked past what is on the surface, and delved into their soul to write heartfelt music that actually means something, and actually show the emotion it brought in the music.

What really sets her apart on this album, is her ability to create songs that match the mood and feel of the lyrics. She displays her jazzy and sultry side on "Slow like honey"...singing with a voice that sounds much older than she really is, and created a perfect lounge-like atmosphere as she croons her beautiful words. "Sleep to Dream", the opening track, shows her more straightforward angry side...and she does it convincingly. Complete with a catchy chorus that has as much depth as it does edge. "Shadowboxer" and "Criminal" once again bring about her jazzy influences and her mature voice are the clincher to the song's well put-together success.

Even her ballads are something to truly be awe-inspired by. "Sullen Girl" flows along smoothly with a stunningly beautiful piano part flowing beneath her great voice...building up to a string-filled chorus with her gently swooning "It's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion", and then in gently swells back down to just her and her piano. This is how beauty should be tranposed by an artist. It's brilliant. Her other ballad "Never is a Promise", starts out sounding very classical, with more of those swelling strings and yet another stunning piano part. It's breathtaking, and her lyrics once again shine through as the song puts you in an unescapable trance.

Overall, Fiona Apple shows the potential on her debut to dethrone the popular female singer/songwriters out there today, such as Tori Amos, Jewel, Sheryl Crowe, etc. A potential that I think she has more than lived up to with each passing album. My only gripe is I wish she would release one more often, but it shows she takes great care in perfecting what she has...and every album sounds very polished, including this one. In years to come, and possibly even now, this album can be looked upon as a pop classic. That's extremely rare for a debut album, especially from an 18 year old as herself. Any listener of this album should light some candles, put on a comfy robe, grab a cigar, and let her lovely music carry you away...

Review:
So I got the album. The one with 90 words on the cover. So what? It's good. Apple kicks in with "On the Bound," a lumbering opener that starts with some heavy Portishead-esque beats, but coming through the bass notes of a piano. Lyrically, it sounds like a personal examination: "I don't know what I'm doing, don't know should I/ Change my mind, I can't decide, there's too many/ Variations to consider."

"To Your Love" follows and picks up with a pulsing piano chord and the lyrics: "Here's another speech you wish I'd swallow/ Another cue for you to fold your ears." Apple confronts a would-be lover, but it also seems directed towards critiques of her early outspokenness. She almost acknowledges the hordes of people turned off by her younger ramblings.

But now Fiona seems older. Her voice is full of a heartfelt soul that seems almost timeless. While Billie Holiday would never have considered the possibility of lines like, "It won't be long till you'll be/ Lying limp in your own hand," Apple executes them flawlessly with a modern passion. It's also important to note that her musical ideas and lyrics have caught up with the ability of her voice. The songs are well varied, and transition smoothly from one to the other whereas her first album all sounded the same to me. She finally got the concept

Review:
Fiona Apple's first new album in six years, Extraordinary Machine, faced a Wilco Yankee Foxtrot Hotel dilemma when her label, Epic, held off releasing it because they thought it was too uncommercial. Due to an aggressive internet campaign and the leaking of the songs, Epic changed their mind and gave Ms. Apple the green light. The album is a stunning collection of songs, many of which were written in the aftermath of Ms. Apple's break up with director Paul Thomas Anderson. Due to this circumstance and the fact that she is no longer a teenager as she was on her first release, the songs have an air of maturity that her previous efforts lacked. The album features producers Jon Brion (who worked the original sessions, but only ends up as a producer on two tracks, Brian Kehew and Mike Elizondo who work with hip-hop artists shows up on the album. Mr. Kehew & Mr. Elizondo don't turn the album into a hip-hop affair, they beautiful match Ms. Apple's smoky voice and soft piano with simple loops that accentuate not dominate the sound. "Tymps (The Sick in the Head Song)" is a perfect example of their work. They also move away from the baroque sounds of the internet album by adding guitars, horns and slamming drums to the mix. Ms. Apple is the real star though and her work on the piano driven "Get Him Back", the wicked "Red Red Red", the intense "Window" and the great "Better Version Of Me" show that she is ready to take the leap into superior singer-songwriter territory.
