Fiona Apple: When the Pawn
Aug 15th, 2012 by dcronin
“Fiona Apple may have been grouped in with the other female singer/songwriters who dominated the pop charts in 1996 and 1997, but she stood out by virtue of her grand ambitions and considerable musical sophistication… Pawn is immediately grabbing, and instead of fading upon further plays, it reveals more with each listen, whether it’s a lyrical turn of phrase or an unexpected twist in the arrangement; what’s more, Apple has made it as rich emotionally as it is musically.” –All Music Guide
