Finally! I read yesterday (but was in a meeting all day, so I couldn’t post about it), about how Sony has finally decided to release Fiona Apple’s record, Extraordinary Machine! AND, two songs, O’ Sailor and Parting Gift will be available for download from iTunes as of today (August 16th). Hallelujah!
Now, this doesn’t mean that I am not mad at Sony anymore, in fact, if they mess with her CD like they did Natasha Bedingfield’s, I will be just as pissed as I was here. So don’t do that Sony; you have been warned!
Also, I read this press release from Sony, which makes it seem like there was no gap in time, and that all has gone according to plan:
Acclaimed artist Fiona Apple has completed her highly anticipated third album Extraordinary Machine and it will be released by Epic Records on October 4, 2005.
It is really interesting that they have taken this stance, considering that we all know that it has been delayed for at least a year. I know, because I scoured the internet to find out what had happened to Fiona, and ended up reading lots about it, getting frustrated, and finally, I ended up with a copy a while ago; but don’t worry, I will still pick it up on October 4th (Hear that Sony, I will buy the record, even though I downloaded it! I bet that makes your head explode!). So here’s a big FINALLY from me, for Sony, and a congrats to Fiona… because maybe, just maybe they actually heard the lyrics you wrote in Please, Please, Please (from the upcoming record); and you have made a difference. Who needs a “radio playable” single… we love you Fiona! Can’t wait till October 4th.
