An artist that delivers a whole new meaning to the word "sophistication"
Rarely will you ever hear an artist that sings with as much depth and meaning as Fiona Apple. In every work she creates, she sings with such a passion that it would be nearly impossible to not believe her. She fills every piece--every work of art--with all the soul it can possibly contain and sings it in a style that would almost make you cry. I'm only fifteen years old, and already, I feel as though I've been revealed all there is to know about this world...And it's all thanks to her music. Does anyone else notice how many artists write songs simply to take up space on their albums? Unlike many other musical artists, Apple always refrains from writing "filler", generic pieces. Every song of hers is there for a reason and has its own story and meaning. All of Fiona Apple's work--particularly this album--has gotten me through many days where I've been sad or depressed. Even when I'm happy, I choose to pull out her music and give it a listen. Fiona offers an interesting perpsective to life that I consider lacking in most of today's music, and if you carefully analyze her lyrics, you'll understand what I mean. I'm choosing not to give you a few track "highlights", because I believe that this would not be fair to all the other tracks on her album. As I stated previously, each of her tracks carries its own story and is beautifully sung. I recommend that you listen to the whole album from start to finish; you won't regret a second of it.
