3.


How long has it been since Fiona Apple's last album was released?

7-long-freaking-years.

I was just about to start my degree when the last album was out, and this year, I have been working for almost 3 years, came the latest one, with a title so long I resorted to calling it just The Idler Wheel.

I, and a million others for that matter, are delighted for this record. Probably the most naked record of hers. I feel like she has stripped down and focused solely on her voice, lyrics and those guitar strumming. It's like she's rapping entirely on this.

Valentine is my favorite of the record. Probably this is the reason, 'I root for you, I love you, you, you, you, you.'

Nonetheless, welcome back Fiona!
