Incredible Debuts: Fiona Apple

Posted by Aaron Burns on November 28th, 2008

Tidal by Fiona Apple

She came out of no where and brought a voice that was just as surprising. The writing is honest and deep, sprinkled with genius sized portions of metaphor and imagery, this album is beautifully crafted from beginning to end. 

I came to the Fiona Apple game late. I’d seen her in a couple of interviews and listened to her songs without putting much thought into their lyrics. The first time I heard all 10 tracks in a row from “Sleep to Dream” to “Carrion” something clicked, I suddenly got it. 1996 was in important year for music and this album was among the best. Its an incredible debut.

Incredible Debuts is a new article which highlights the debut presentations of artists. I’ll be covering the debuts of musicians, directors, writers, actors and producers.
