The Fiona Apple Playlist

THIS year…

there are going to be some big releases and albums that you will definitely want to own! For me, the upcoming album from Fiona Apple is an absolute must! 2012’s The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do is a previous album, and it is great that there will be another album out this year. Apple is one of the most interesting and original artists ever, and her albums are always full of amazing moments. This NME article explains a bit more:

Apple has long been teasing this album, which will be her first since 2012’s ‘The Idler Wheel…’, though there are few details on the record itself.

In September last year, Apple revealed that she was hoping to release her new album in early 2020.

“I was supposed to be done a million years ago,” she said. “And I go off and I take too long making stuff. I’m hoping for early 2020. I think.”

She has remained active despite the long time between albums. In December, she collaborated with Phoebe Bridgers and The National‘s Matt Berninger for a Simon & Garfunkel cover. Proceeds of the release went to Planned Parenthood. Apple also recorded a song for a Halloween episode of Bob’s Burgers.

Apple even said she’d be willing to collaborate with Lil Nas X on his debut album. The offer to collaborate was extended by Nas X after Apple called him out for sampling her 2012 song ‘Every Single Night’ on his 2018 song ‘Naserati’, which was released a year before he became a household name with ‘Old Town Road’”.

To celebrate some upcoming brilliance from Fiona Apple – you just know her fifth studio album will be awesome! -, I have compiled an assortment of her very best cuts. It proves what an extraordinary and captivating artist…
