Right. The "Free Fiona" campain for EM was totally organic and non-corporate in every way. No stunts pulled there.

Neither was her "Criminal" video featuring her in a teenage orgy meant to be a stunt to help push Tidal multiplatinum.

Neither was her acceptance speech about "this world" being "bullshit" (I guess she's fluent in bullshit) at the VMAs.

Neither was slamming Janeane Garofalo in Rolling Stone by re-writing "Sleep to Dream" about her calling her a 'bitch.'

Neither was calling Tori Amos the "poster girl for rape."

Neither was dating a prominent Hollywood director.

I love her, her music, her songwriting skills, but you betray your lack of knowledge of how the business works - all artists are famewhores to a certain degree or else they would all be happy working at Kmart during the day and playing in coffee shops by night. Sad that you think you know much at all...

Oh my damn....

You impress wayyyy too easily.

last album blew. first 2 are classic.

I disagree, I think she's gotten better with each album.

I do too, if you count the original "Extrordinary Machine" as her third album. I much prefer it to the actual release. I think the record company made her dumb it down.

Looks like sometime this year:

You should hear the bootleg(Leaked) version of EM it's way better than the polished epic version. I'd say When The Pawn is my fav then EM.

I could take either, both have alot of quality too them! I think Fiona's strong songwritting matters much more than the production behind it and the studio re-production doesn't really hurt or help the earlier leaked material.

Wasn't saying that.

I've always loved her lyrics and I know she's a Word Slayer. Having said that, it just all sounds more badass backed the the Brion instrumentation than the commercialized shit on the final release.

The original, Brion version of "Red Red Red" is my all-time favorite song by her and literally one of my favorite songs, period but the released version sounds like a backing track for a Xanax commercial or something. This is the same thing that happened to all the songs once they redid them, and even Fiona's awesome writing can't redeem them.

Probably one of the few tracks that is still okay to me in the final product is "Not About Love", but even that sounds more epic in its original form - whenever I hear it I immediately think of some displeased Queen just totally going off on someone while having her tea and crumpets and Grey Peupon; it's awesome.

And you are waaaaaaay too close to this issue. Fiona's album will come out, relax.
