Status of Fiona Apple's New Album
by Taken from ptanderson.com:
"As we know, Fiona Apple's third album, Extraordinary Machine, has been complete for nearly a year & a half, yet there are still no definite signs of an impending release. Recently, producer Jon Brion stated that while the album has been finished since May 2003, the label has shelved it due to lack of "obvious singles." If you are a fan of Fiona Apple's music, and would like to have an opportunity to purchase Extraordinary Machine, we urge you to join a letter-writing/apple sending campaign to Sony Music, asking for her album to be released. This event will take place on January 24th, 2005. For more information on this campaign, please visit http://www.freefiona.com "
I dunno. I'd like to hear the album. I think it'd sell VERY, VERY well. Who wants to hear "singles" anymore? Fivezero says: Release it!

Sleep to Dream was my favorite song when that album came out in 1996. I was 13. I remember sitting in my parents' garage listening to it on a tape I taped off the radio over and over.
I tell you how I feel but you don't care
I say tell me the truth but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say gimme mine back and then go there for all I care
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You've got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise
I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool but you just run to hide and I can't abide
Mannn, i love those lyrics. She's something else.
I just heard this girl the other day sing 'criminal'. That was hott. I love that song so much. It just brings me back to so long ago..
thats my favorite song right now..I just put it on a mixed cd I made.
Niiiice, I made a mix last summer, it's on there.
i read about this so many times, something smells wrong here i dont understand it
fiona is a very outspoken person, especially against 'the'media. so where is she? where's the protest?
this is it.
yeah but where is "...you shouldn't model your life about what you think that you think we think is cool, and what we're wearing, and what we're saying and everything. Go with yourself." Fiona Apple in all this?
I laughed when she said, "the world is bulls**t." This girl is a nutta.
i think she meant "THIS" world.. as in.. the world of the famous
Yes. You're right.
good reason not to get drunk before a televised appearance.
It is very fishy. I don't know whats going on.
Oh man! I missed this today while working. I wanna hear the album!!!! Obvious singles?? yes please Fiona would you make a "pieces of me" already ! (HAHAHAHA durrrr)
my thoughts exactly. way to ruin art corporate america!!!
"Lack of obvious singles"?
what?? and albums like Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac have obvious singles?
Fiona isn't Radiohead, but I definitely know what you mean. Such an annoying double standard.
I didn't really like When the Pawn... I only dug a few tracks, but I'd still like to hear this album.
Wow I didn't even know she was still working...this is AWESOME!
