Synopsis

Album Description

Strung Out on Fiona Apple is chamber music with rough edges and a soft center. Violin, cello and viola cut through Apple?s sharp-tongued wit, bringing out the melodic beauty of her songs. Her confessional anthem "Criminal" ("I?ve been a bad, bad girl," she sings with joyful menace) and the bluesy scolding of "Shadowboxer" are just two of the Apple-Tunes that take on new and vibrant life in the hands of virtuoso classical players. Fiona Apple set to strings -- beauty, brains, and attitude.

CD Reviews

Thought It Was A Bird, But.......

"I got this CD and listened to it last night. I really wanted to like it, but it was a chore getting through it. The arrangements are claustraphobic and tense. Even beautiful songs like "Slow Like Honey" and "Paper Bag" sound dark and depressing. I don't think I will be listening to this one much. The first song has a drum machine on it, and there is occasional bass, but it is mostly one violinist and one cellist who overdubbed multiple parts. They need to open up the arrangements, so they breathe instead of being so stifling."
