Our Take

Fiona Apple's latest album, "The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw," is a wild and wonderful journey through the mind of this eccentric singer-songwriter. With a title like that, you know you're in for a treat. From the moment you press play, you're transported into Fiona's world - a world filled with introspection, raw emotion, and a healthy dose of quirkiness. The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, with Apple's signature voice soaring and dipping over haunting piano melodies and intricate percussion. Tracks like "Every Single Night" and "Valentine" showcase Fiona's lyrical prowess, with her poetic and introspective lyrics cutting straight to the heart. The stripped-back production allows her voice to shine, bringing an intimacy that makes you feel like you're sitting in the room with her. But don't be fooled by the melancholy vibes - there are moments of pure joy on this album too. "Jonathan" is a funky, upbeat track that will have you dancing around your living room, while "Werewolf" is a haunting ballad that will send shivers down your spine. Overall, "The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw" is a triumph for Fiona Apple. It's bold, it's brave, and it's utterly captivating. Grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let yourself be swept away by this musical masterpiece. Fiona Apple has done it again, and we can't wait to see what she does next.
