Editors' Choice for October, 2024

When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King...

AllMusic Staff Pick - November 9, 2024

November 9, 1999

When the Pawn...(released 25 years ago today) showcased Fiona Apple's brilliantly manic and ardent ability to project a fragile toughness unlike any of her peers. The production from Jon Brion provides a loping and lush circus atmosphere that acts as a bed for Apple's brilliant diary entries, each song revealing a different page of brassy emotion and shattered-glass detail.
