United States (1996 – present)
Fiona Apple (Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart, born September 13, 1977) is an American singer-songwriter. Her albums, Tidal (1996), When the Pawn (1999), and Extraordinary Machine (2005), have sold over five million copies worldwide.
Her break into the music industry came when a friend, who babysat for a record executive, handed her employer a demo. Apple’s husky voice, nimble piano skills, and mature lyrics got the attention of Sony executive Andy Slater, who signed her to a record deal.
In 1996, Apple’s debut album Tidal was released by a subsidiary of Sony. The album went on to sell 3 million copies (certified triple platinum) domestically.
“Criminal,” the third single from Tidal, became Apple’s breakthrough hit. The song garnered a great deal of attention, in part for its suggestive lyrics (“I’ve been a bad, bad girl…”) but also for the controversial music video, directed by Mark Romanek. The video featured a waifish, half-dressed Apple surrounded by the aftermath of a party, including unconscious partygoers. The video received heavy rotation on VH-1 and MTV and gained the singer immediate notoriety. Years later, Apple said, “I wasn’t . And you can see that in the video. It’s not sexy. It’s disturbing.”
Other singles from Tidal included “Sleep to Dream,” “Shadowboxer,” “Never is a Promise,” and “The First Taste.”
In 1998, she contributed two tracks to the “Pleasantville” soundtrack, “Please Send Me Someone to Love” and a cover of the Beatles hit “Across the Universe”.
