fiona apple is criminally underrated.
I wish she were as popular as Adele and Lana Del Rey, but at the same time I think her music is more interesting, free, sincere and deeply personal due to her hatred of the spotlight. She wants to make art and doesn't care what others think of it. It makes for some of the most relateable songs I've ever heard in my entire life.
i always thought fiona had lana del rey levels of fame in the 90s
Tidal made her famous. She didn't like the limelight so she made a very controversial speech during the VMAs and destroyed her fame. Her subsequent albums were less accessible and didn't do as well commercially. To be fair she doesn't want to be a celebrity, and I guess it's nice because there's such an authenticity and sincerity to what she does that Adele and Lana lack. Lana and Adele want hits. Fiona doesn't really care.
