fiona apple new album Fiona Apple releasing new album, Singer Fiona Apple, 34, is preparing to make a big music comeback. An "X Factor" judge  announced on Twitter  that the singer is set to release a new album this year. Apple  hasn’t released any new music since 2005

Something profound happened to Fiona Apple between her debut and the making of this, her second record. When she first appeared, on the smoldering 1996 million-seller entitled Tidal, the New York singer, songwriter, and pianist seemed a competent if undistinguished student of Nina Simone and less original torch singers. Three years later, at the age of twenty-two, Apple delivered one of the great rococo leaps of the rock era, this series of dialogs with diffident, recalcitrant, or otherwise insensitive lovers set to flamboyant, tightly wound music.

Theories abound about the possible causes of the transformation. Apple herself explained at the time that she was just curious about songs and structures. "I didn't want to be trapped by a style. . . . The whole idea about music is to develop your own instincts, which is hard when the culture is telling you to sound a certain way and think a certain way." At least partial credit goes to Jon Brion, who produced When the Pawn. . . . He surrounds Apple's impetuous poutage with oompah beats and carnival horns, stomping-feet Broadway bluster, and bits of funk. Brion created some funhouse orchestrations that are the musical equivalent of the sad clown's painted smile. They cast Apple's personal torments in upbeat, surprisingly accessible settings.

Brion's schemes also offer Apple a wide range. She mewls over one verse and belts the next, and on several tracks, including the galumphing "On the Bound," her eruptions come out of nowhere, as though triggered by a stray bitter memory. These outbursts fit the profile Apple creates with her lyrics: She's unstable, difficult, maybe even damaged goods. On "To Your Love," she apologizes, "Please forgive me for my distance, pain is evident in my existence." A few songs later, she tells some poor man to run away "Fast as You Can," before he gets himself in deeper. There's something irresistible about that, a woman with the quintessential come-hither voice warning potential suitors to run, lest they fall.

It’s been over seven years since Fiona Apple released a new studio album (Extraordinary Machine), and while there have been rumors of new music coming for over a year now, fans (including myself) started to give up hope. However, it looks like a new album by Ms. Apple is actually on the way this time as Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid posted a Tweet confirming that new material from Fiona will be released soon.
Reid’s initial tweet read, “Lots of good music coming from @Epic_Records in the next few weeks. Stay tuned music fans. Welcome back Fiona!” He went on to clarify to a Twitter follower, he said, “YES Fiona Apple!”
File this one under believe it when I see it… or hear it… but still I want to be optimistic a new project will see the light of day from Ms. Apple. Until then, we’ll always have the memories of her previous three albums and her 2011 collaboration with Jon Brion on the Buddy Holly tribute album.

Feeling sinister? Let the soothing growl of Fiona Apple wash away over your guilt with arguably her biggest hit to date, “Criminal”. Directed by Mark Romanek, the clip rocks the late 90s hungover-but-still-partying heroin chic look and feel.

Fiona Apple will release a new album by Spring of 2011, according to a recent Modern Drummer interview with Charley Drayton.
Mr. Drayton, currently MD’s “Drummer of the Day,” let that nugget slip that he’s currently “playing, co-producing, and mixing Fiona Apple’s upcoming record.”
It’s been 5 years since Ms. Apple’s last album release in Extraordinary Machine. While she’s popped up on a few compilations (Cy Coleman Tribute and Cho Dependent) since EM hit, fans have been waiting with baited breath to hear if the singer would release her own new material. Don’t know about you, but I’m excited just at the possibility of a new album in the works.
