It was kind of fun to type out the two longest album titles I've ever typed in this series up there. I'm a big Jon Brion fan so I love his instrumentation on Tidal and Extraordinary Machine and his production on When The Pawn. But putting her work in chronological order really reveals how much Fiona Apple gradually took her sound in stranger and more unique directions, culminating in Fetch The Bolt Cutters. And that's really saying something since Tidal is one of more creative and idiosyncratic multi-platinum pop hits of its era, particularly one released by a teenager. But she really started out with such a beautiful and controlled voice, and started pushing it harder and into more unexpected, expressive shapes, it's really fascinating to hear. "On The Bound" and "Please Please Please" and "Heavy Balloon" rank as some of my favorite Fiona songs.
