JamesFiona Apple balances playfulness and emotional intensity throughout the album with astonishing control. The arrangements are unusually colorful and rhythmically alive, giving songs like “Not About Love” and “O’ Sailor” tremendous movement. Apple’s writing remains emotionally sharp without collapsing into confession or self-pity. Her phrasing and vocal timing are incredible throughout — conversational one second, explosive the next. The album’s long and difficult release history almost obscures how inventive and musically adventurous it actually is. It’s one of the most distinctive singer-songwriter records of the decade.
