Fiona Apple, "O' Sailor"

[MusicMan88]

UGH I went to edit the topic and then I accidentally deleted it. Oh well though.

I was mistaken, O'Sailor is the new single and Parting Gift is the Bside. She's already shot a video for the single and it will be available on iTunes August 16.

The album comes out October 4th and includes the original Extraordinary Machine tracks, but 9 of the 11 were reworked. The only two not touched were the title track and Waltz. The others have been completely redone.

www.fiona-apple.com has both tracks to listen to.

I really like O'Sailor. I hope there is some shot at commercial success

[MusicMan88]

The single is releaseon iTunes today! Pick it up :)

I knew something was wrong! And yeah! O' Sailor is a GREAT song! Of course it's Fiona Apple, so I doubt it will have much success, if any... But I sure hope radio gives it a chance, cause it surely deserves it!

Free Fiona!

I was just about to post this. She's up on the front page of Myspace and they mentioned this track.

FINALLY!!!

Triple A

Fiona Apple "Oh Sailor" (Epic)

[Trebizond]

Wonder how this will do...

[MusicMan88]

Probably won't be a big hit... but it should have SOME success.

[That Skipping Rope.]

Did she shoot the video for "Parting Gift"?

[MusicMan88]

yeah you can view it at her website: www.fiona-apple.com

I was hoping Triple A was gonna show some love to Fiona, but apparently not. This makes me sad. She got like zero adds. It's a real shame.

Does that mean she didn't get any adds or she got 1 add? What does "like zero" mean? :)

[JJ]

It means that I don't know, lol. I just know it was less than 3, hehe (from the R&R website)...

Was that really a music video? Because it looked really amateurish.

So this just did absolutely nothing?

After a six-year absence, singer/pianist Fiona Apple returns with a strikingly noncommercial cut from new album "Extraordinary Machine" (out Oct. 4). On "O' Sailor," an edgy breakup ballad, Apple combines her pulsating piano with an outlandishly hypnotic groove, and her voice sounds vital and direct. The cabaret expressiveness of her vocals can be a little annoying, but—against all odds—"Sailor" lingers and lodges itself in the brain. Now 28 years old, the bruised chanteuse still refuses to appease the industry, which is refreshing, but that is not going to help her at radio. The single is destined for triple-A and modern rock, but it is unlikely to cross over to top 40, as did 1998's "Criminal," which hit No. 21 on The Billboard Hot 100. In the post-Britney world of Kellys and Ashlees, Apple resurfaces as an original voice unwilling to compromise. —Sven Philipp

I wish she had released something at least slightly radio friendly. This doesnt sound radio friendly at ALL (and I know Fiona as an artist is NOT radio friendly, but I honestly think some of the other tracks on the actual cd sound more radioish than this one)

[Radical347]

"Shadowboxer" was already released twice, renaming it isn't going to help...

[allow that]

I like this.... it sounds radio friendly, just not US radio friendly .

[ZAK]

Is there any song on Extradinary Machine that is radio friendly though? Tymps has great beat but I don't know how that would help on Hot AC. I really like Get Him Back, but I don't how its more radio friendly than O'Sailor.
