Dave Chappelle did it. He actually created a sketch based on the intentions of the "keeping it real" generation. Yet though we focus so hard on "representing" our so-called selves, Dave showed CLEARLY how shit can completely get out of hand. One decision can domino effect into one large downward spiral. Only a selected few of these "real" keepers can survive and that's if they're lucky Darwinism has a affinity with their "realness." If there's one thing Fiona Apple does, it's fucking keep shit real. Real fucking soulful and real fucking REAL. After the first time I heard "Criminal" at my good tomodachi Jeff Munar's house, I was hooked. Never has any one songwriter's ability to captivate her audience been so convincing as that one moment. That being said, from the little I know, this follow up to "Tidal" has had its fair share of sharp twists and trails through endless confrontations with industry bullshit. Big ups to Dual Disc. To no surprise, the poignancy of her songs' melodies are as strong as ever and her warm, sensual vocals can't help but keep you deeply relaxed. With ?uestlove on percussion and Mike Elizondo on the executive producer tip, Fiona gets a guaranteed excellence in the creation of the undertones of "Extraordinary Machine." The undertones are fucking amazing to say the least. The ambiance of the album captures a scenic escape into the depths of imperfection and it allows to just calmly finally say, "Fuck it." So give this shit a listen as soon as you can get your hands on a homie who bought it or downloaded it.
