In her music video for 360, the singer brings together a mix of iconic and zeitgeist celebrities to get her point across.

♪ And I've always been too smart for that ♪ ♪ But you know what, my heart was not ♪ ♪ I took it like a kid, you see ♪ ♪ The cool kids voted to get rid of me ♪

Fiona Apple reintroduced herself to old fans and likely made a new few ones along the way.

The tracks featured densely layered landscapes and a couple surprises.

On the single Shamika, the cascading piano forms the foundation of a career best work.

Apple isn't afraid to stretch out and make unorthodox-sounding music.
