Fiona Apple - Pretrial (Let Her Go Home)

Fiona Apple released her first song in 5 years last night. Pretrial (Let Her Go Home) is a song about cash bail preventing mothers from being with their family and its impacts.

I like it... sounds more like her older stuff. I saw her live before she got popular in Nashville. Maybe 75-100 people in this tiny place.

It sounds like what she needs is a good defense.

Re: Fiona Apple - Pretrial (Let Her Go Home)

I love Fiona Apple, and while I like the message of the song - it's not a song I would listen to again.

Hopefully she has a new album out at some point soon. Can't believe it's already been 5 years since Fetch the Boltcutters.
I'd love to hear her go back to her more musical first 3 albums. When the Pawn is her best work IMO.

Re: Fiona Apple - Pretrial (Let Her Go Home)

I love Fetch the Bolt Cutters (and all her albums) but also put When the Pawn .. at the top of the pile.
