    Album Selection -Fiona Apple - Tidal
    May 10 2024
    Fiona Apple’s first album Tidal debuted in 1996, and received significant positive reviews from fans and industry. It had this dark, rough vibe to it that somehow bridged the rock and grunge I was into at that time. Her vocals cut against the cutesy pop star image that was being sold at that time by many others, yet she wasn’t some crazy metal chick either. She seemed like some depressed, angry chick (I said chick back then) that seemed willing to get a littler darker than Alanis, who’d also just released Jagged Little Pill right around then. Listen along with us all May and tune back in at the end of the month to see what Alain, Scott, Darren and I thought, and be sure to share your thoughts with us about your own listen through. Until then, this is Scott G signing off for the sonic collective. Cheers.
