A sharp and beautiful record of introspection, a poetic journey through a labyrinth of emotions.
A controversial work that delicately yet boldly expresses the inner world of Fiona Apple, a genius singer-songwriter who adheres to her own unique aesthetic.
When it was released in 1999, this album was talked about for its impressively long title (the official name is 90 words!), and it is an artistic endeavor that intertwines Fiona Apple's delicate psychological structure with anger, love, and loneliness. Songs such as "Paper Bag" and "Fast As You Can" fully demonstrate her rich vocabulary and sense of melody against the backdrop of jazzy piano, odd time signatures, and heavy beats. It is a masterpiece that is both pop and underground, gentle and prickly.
