like frank ocean, d'angelo, kendrick lamar, kanye west, kamasi washington, sampha, death grips, madlib, etc. don't get that same exact kind of praise

Good art is gonna get called "true art". Its that simple my guy.

Real s***

More than half of these didn't even get that kind of love until like later on in their careers my g.

Son really brought up Madlib

Fiona didn't get this love in her career until her 4th album too lol

If you like singer songwriter stuff it’s worth a shot. If that’s not your thing i can’t knock you. It’s hard to imagine someone enjoying this upfront fully without already liking this type of music and having the patience for it. There was a time i definitely didn’t lmao

I would cry the entire time, it would be sick

Don't think this is the right album to start with Fiona. When the Pawn is the one.

"white artists" is an umbrella term. I dont really know much about shorty my g

As soon as he played the first second of Prayer i think i would just black out from hype alone

Black Messiah is so incredible, I've been listening to it everyday again lately and it feels just like when it came out.

Should I start with this album, or go back first? Wanna get into Fiona Apple, just wondering if I should do it in chronological order or not

When the Pawn and Tidal are better starting points.

One of my favorite albums of all time. One of the only albums i can call perfect front to back. Not a wasted second

Jesus christ how is she so talented. I love this so much man

best is to go in order but if u want the same vibes as this album start with when the pawn...

I'd start with the first, can't go wrong Criminal and Sullen Girl

Imagine being in Fiona's home studio watching her singing Cosmonauts for the first time

thats how I started saw the Paper Bag video when I was a freshman in HS and started with that album then went back to Tidal and everything else

Could go either way, those songs are iconic af but from my personal experience getting people into Fiona throughout the years When the Pawn is often the one that new listeners find perfect and mindblowing.

Sullen Girl is such a beautiful song but so difficult to listen to

someone watch the dogs

the albums good. let's make it about race
