Fiona Apple demonstrates considerable talent on her debut album, Tidal, but it is unformed, unfocused talent. Her voice is surprisingly rich and supple for a teenager, and her jazzy, sophisticated piano playing also belies her age. Given the right material, such talents could have flourished, but she has concentrated on her own compositions, which are nowhere near as impressive as her musicianship. Most of Tidal is comprised of confessional singer/songwriter material, and while they strive to say something deep and important, much of the lyrics settle for clichés. Apple does have a handful of impressive songs on Tidal, like the haunting "Shadowboxer" and "Sullen Girl," but the gap between her performing talents and songwriting skills is too large to make the album anything more than a promising, and very intriguing, debut.
i love discovering new music... the rush of finding a new band that you can relate to and love. it's like a new relationship.. something unexpected happens.. i cool bass riff or a crazy vocal arrangement... and you feel the tingles... but i think more than that i might love rediscovering old music. songs that years ago were new and exciting that have long ago been put on my shelf and forgotten ...

If I were to declare my intentions for someone by posting a song for him here on Mog, I wonder if it would have the desired effect?
