Female musicians are a dime a dozen these days, but hardly any of them do much more than set basic pop hits to acoustic guitar and piano. But Fiona Apple stays ahead with a radical approach and strong songs. In a word, she comes across as an outstanding artiste, with all the talents you'd expect from such a singer. Her music is complex, yet soothing: the chords are messy, the tracks tend to have two or three arrangements, they entwine jazz influences with electronic instruments, and the lyrics are solid and wordy. The songs could simply come off as showy or annoyed -- but they also have that rare quality of conveying a great deal of emotion. Without, I might add, sounding strained. Which, since the mood is that of an angry young woman, is a hard thing to work out, but her richly flowing lyrics make her songs look like very much personal.
Apple returns with her first new album in seven years, The Idler Wheel…, since her last album “Extraordinary Machine” in 2005. "Every Single Night," will serve as the first single from the new album. Apple will be touring across the United State in support of her upcoming album and the tour will kick off on June 19 at State Theatre in Ithaca, NY., and her tour setlist will include tracks from her new album The Idler Wheel…
