>Neil McCormick of The Telegraph described it as "a masterpiece for the #MeToo era", writing that it "feels about as real as music can be".[12] Laura Barton of The Guardian commented on the album's "refusal to be silenced"

why are there so many unironic wine aunts on Yas Forums? this board is for young men

Before today Fiona threads were getting a very small audience. P4K 10/10 is unironically going to fucking ruin all discussion of her on Yas Forums because now the zoomers and Yas Forumsdroids are aware of her existence. She was supposed to be the sole property of the last remaining Yas Forums oldfags god damn it.

she's a feminist cat lady why would she appeal to Yas Forums in the first place

Yeah obviously no one here cares about ththe social context. The album as music and lyrics is almost unparalleled though

because her music is incredibly aesthetically pleasing

I really like Ladies and the title track

it's just adele with more feminism/quirkiness

Please stop. I know you're 18 and don't understand any music from before 2010s zoomer internet culture started, but just stop.

what?

its not that good

so you really are 35+ year old women? also i rated her previous album 0.5 on rym in 2010

>GOOD MORNIN'
>GOOD MORNIN'
>YOU RAPED ME IN THE SAME BED YOUR DAUGHTER WAS BORN IN

what did she mean by this?

*her 1999 album

>so you really are 35+ year old women?
28 year old man unfortunately coming to terms with the fact that I am out of touch with the vast majority of this website's current audience. I shouldn't be feeling this way when I'm not even 30 god damn it

there arent many women on Yas Forums

something about bret kavanaugh even tho he was proven innocent or something. kinda cringe. was a pretty bad song too

I’m 25 and I been feeling out of touch since the last 3 years lol

>something about bret kavanaugh even tho he was proven innocent or something.
Holy SHIT you actual fucking retard it's nothing to do with your gay ass politics shit you fucking Yas Forumsdrone. Fucking google for 2 minutes you peabrain

Imagine pretending to blown away by this milquetoast, middlebrow chamber pop throwback because Condé Nast told you to. This thing is not going to influence musical trends into the 2020s, there is simply nothing here that hasn't already been done better by more talented female (and male) artists.
I guess 10 years ago when Pitchfork still had some some cultural relevance it would have been justified, but now it's just pathetic.

what blows you away?

>This is all in keeping with the feminist reckoning that has swept through culture in a post-#MeToo society. But Fetch the Bolt Cutters is never didactic, even on (the potentially triggering) “For Her,” which Apple wrote in the wake of the shameful Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings. For an artist whose early career existed under an all-seeing male eye, Apple wrote the song “Newspaper” from an unmistakable female gaze. In its lyrics, she feels “close” to another woman due to their shared past with an abusive man, as she observes his cruelty and lies from a distance. It’s a nuanced way of addressing a systemic problem. “It’s a shame because you and I didn’t get a witness,” she sings, but this song makes us all one, as do the brutal lyrics of “For Her.” “You know you should know but you don’t know what you did,” she sings, and later: “You raped me in the same bed your daughter was born in.” This is another side of Fiona Apple. It is not easy to sing along. But it demands that you listen.
>She calls men out for refusing to show weakness, for treating their wives badly, for needing women to clean up their messes. Where The Idler Wheel explored a form of self-interrogation—“I’m too hard to know,” she crooned—on Fetch the Bolt Cutters, she unapologetically indicts the world around her. And she rejects its oppressive logic in every note. The very sound of Fetch the Bolt Cutters dismantles patriarchal ideas: professionalism, smoothness, competition, perfection—aesthetic standards that are tools of capitalism, used to warp our senses of self.

thats what pitchfork said but ok

The song is about her being raped at 11 you fucking braindead zoomers. It's not about fucking "muh kavanaugh" "muh trump". Kill yourselves or go back to fortnite.

Do zoomers not know how to convey their thoughts without "le dank memes" and "le ironic greentext"? Write a fucking paragraph you child. Articulate your thoughts.

seething redditor

this bitch got herpies. friend of a friend got it from her.

If we're talking female singer songwriters, HOOM and Aviary are both much more original and ambitious.
Tom Waits has been doing off-tempo rhythmic cabaret pop with frantic vocal deliveries almost his entire career. There's nothing new here.
