4 comments about Fiona Apple - Tidal.

1. Fiona Apple is one of the most unknown brilliant singer/ songwriters. Her wonderful poetry and lyrics are beyond human nature. She sings with such delicacy and sensitivity. In this songbook of Tidal, you get to appreciate the time that she put into creating the music. Even though it was her debut album, Fiona made a lasting impression among the reality of heartbreak and rape. It lets you get passed the sullen girl and into the criminal.I highly recommend purchasing this book if you would wish to enjoy and play the music.



2. This is the most used songbook I own, probably because Fiona Apple writes some incredible piano parts. The unique syncopations and rhythms that she wrote for Tidal are preserved and written in her piano score for the album. It's a refreshing change from other contemporary musicians who water down their music by releasing easier versions of their songs. So, while her music takes slightly longer to learn because of the wacky rhythms, it's definitely worth your time (and cash). Get it!



3. Most of the music in the book is extremely accurate.
   
   The only thing that I have a problem with is the treble clef part. All of the songs have the melody written in on the treble clef, and it leaves out parts of the song that really help give it that Fiona Apple feel.
   
   But other than that, Fiona Apple is an amazing songwriter and this book captures that well.



4. This book is good if you want to sort of sound like you're playing Fiona Apple songs, but not good if you want to actually play like Fiona. The arrangements aren't bad, but they're definitely simplified, which is disappointing considering that Fiona's playing isn't terribly complicated. I gave it an extra star for being probably the only commercially available source of Fiona Apple sheet music in existence.
