The Album That’s Going To Be On Every Year-End List:1996, 1999, 2005, 2012, and now, 2020: Fiona Apple album releases are rare occurrences, comet-like in their relative infrequency, and when a songwriter as brilliant and unique as Apple returns to our orbit, it’s cause for celebration. Yet the long-awaitedmay be an even greater achievement than what the diehards for hoping for.
Apple’s fifth album is loose, weird and yearning, a sometimes cacophonous and wholly absorbing project centering on the 42-year-old’s exploration of the expectations society had foisted upon her in her youth, and the skin in which she has learned to live. The album is clear-headed and unapologetic -- the details challenge us, asking us to step out on a ledge with their creator, but Apple’s words and voice always lead back to safety.
