Fiona Apple Made The ’90s Cool: A Gallery
If the world crashes and burns (which feels like a 50/50 proposition in 2020), at least we got a new Fiona Apple album. The arrival of Fetch The Bolt Cutters was exciting enough, but the fact that it’s a career-best triumph is a borderline miracle that needs to be investigated by the church. While we wait for the album to be showered with awards and get a belated physical release, join me on a little jaunt down memory lane. To a time when Fiona was the hottest newcomer on the block and her music was considered “pop.”
Yes, I’m talking about the ’90s. The decade when female singer/songwriters finally got their moment to shine and alternate acts stormed the charts. In the midst of all that stood a girl with piercing blue eyes, a knife-sharp pen and a powerful set of pipes. Tidal heralded the arrival of a major new talent in 1996, while When The Pawn… reminded execs that she wasn’t about to play by their stupid rules in 1999.
