Fiona Apple: Werewolf (2 of 5)
There are artists that inspire loyalty and unwavering admiration. And then there is Fiona Apple. Her lush piano arrangements and relatively sparse output has made her the kind of musician people speak about in hushed tones, like a hummingbird that no one wants to scare away. Her new, incredibly titled album is on the way and “Werewolf” will only serve to heighten the anticipation. The song tells the story of a relationship between two incompatible personalities. This emotional subject matter is appropriately set to a minimalist piano melody that gives Fiona’s lovely voice room to open up. The most striking part of the song may be the off-kilter chorus, where all the time signatures seem to clash yet there is a beautiful harmony in the chaos. I imagine that this tune, beyond being a soundtrack for any number of breakups, will further embed Miss Apple in the collective psyche of her adoring fans. –– Drew Malmuth
