September 2010

After five years of waiting, Fiona Apple fans will be happy to learn that the singer/songwriter has a new album on the way.

According to a recent profile in Modern Drummer magazine of Apple's drummer and co-producer Charley Drayton, the follow-up to 2005's Extraordinary Machine has a spring 2011 release date.

The article states that Drayton, who has toured with Apple since 2006, co- produced and mixed the record, as well as played on it.

An exact release date and album title is still not known, but according to singer-songwriter Michelle Branch, Apple's new material should be worth the wait. "Hate to brag but I heard a couple new Fiona Apple tracks today. Amazing," Branch wrote on Twitter last week.

Fans most recently heard new music from Apple earlier this year, when a collaboration with her longtime producer Jon Brion leaked online. The song, titled "So Sleepy," will be featured on the yet-to-be-released "Chickens in Love" benefit album.

THANK GOD!

I've been waiting for 11 YEARS for something good from her. Extraordinary Machine was really not good and doesn't count!
