7. Fiona Apple The Idler Wheel is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Rope Will Ever Do
First and foremost, Im not going to be repeating that title in full again. Secondly,
Fiona Apple.
Miss Apple has been making music for the best part of two decades now with her debut arriving in 1996 to critical acclaim and commercial success.
The Idler Wheel... comes along as her fourth full length album and is as consistent as ever. Though her commercial success has waned since her debut her critical reception has maintained and grown, just like her talent. Blurring the line between singer-songwriter, jazz musician and alternative rockstar
Fiona Apple has always sported a unique voice and an incredibly individual sound.
The Idler Wheel... is no exception, through its stripped back, to an almost skeletal, arrangement
Apples vocals ride forward to the front and drive her lyrics home as her performance switches at any given moment from tender and mournful to paranoid and unhinged to joyous and in love. The result is powerfully emotive.
