Fiona Apple’s fifth album is an eccentric retelling of days spent in the lockdown and the imposing thoughts that emerge in isolation

This album is the closest to Fiona Apple’s sound than any of her previous albums. She explores some of her very deep and personal struggles while producing a tune of merriment and escapism.

The album sets a raw tone to the sound she produces from her Venice Beach home. The frustrations of coming to life in times of the pandemic create an unfettered symphony. Apple expresses her thoughts on life, love and betrayal. Listeners will be amused that she retains even her off-key notes and behind-the-scenes chatter [that most artistes prefer to edit out] in her tracks. The feverish drum beats, claps and bangs add to the atmospheric element that is predominant in this album. When most artistes seek to look for ways to fine-tune their music, Apple seems to have found ways to bring out what could be one of the more original sounds to have emerged from the lockdown.
