Any Fiona Apple fans here? You can listen to the entirety of her new album for free now on NPR's website. It's really great, I can't stop listening.

I listened to this all day today.

 

[Werewolf Girl]

It's so good! Have you seen the new video yet? It's.... odd.

 

[RabbitLuvr]

I'm not quite sure what to make of the video yet.

The new album hasn't grown on me yet, other than a few songs. I hated Extraordinary Machine when it came out, then it suddenly clicked for me last year, so I expect I just need more time with this one.


I can't wait to see her in concert next month.

My copy of the deluxe edition of the CD should arrive any day now. Excited!

So hoping she comes to the UK to play.

I heart her so, so much. I'm totally diggin the new album. So far, it seems the long time between her albums has always been worth the wait...

I know! She said in an interview that the reason it takes her so long to do things is because she just doesn't really have a plan. Well, I say if letting things happen organically and going with the flow creates albums like this she should keep doing it, nothing she does ever seems fake.
