{"product_id":"fiona-apple-when-the-pawn-cd","title":"Fiona Apple - When The Pawn [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the Pawn marks the moment Fiona Apple stopped being a teenage phenomenon and became an unmistakable artist, a 1999 release presented here as a CD edition imported from Holland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComing after the success of her debut, Tidal, it was a bold move in every sense, starting with its famously long, poem-length full title. Working closely with producer Jon Brion, Apple built a set of songs that combine jazz chords, cabaret drama, hip-hop drum sounds and orchestral flourishes, all anchored by her piano and that rich, smoky voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast As You Can tumbles through shifting tempos as it warns a lover away, a song that seems to change its mind every few bars. Paper Bag swings with brassy, playful confidence despite its bruised lyric, Limp seethes with barely contained fury, and Get Gone builds slowly from quiet resentment toward a cathartic release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it endure is the honesty. Apple writes about self-doubt, anger and desire without softening anything, and Brion's arrangements give those feelings colour and depth without crowding them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has grown into one of the most admired albums of its decade, and it still sounds startlingly fresh. For fans of adventurous, piano-led songwriting, this remains a cornerstone album worth knowing inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478978208049,"sku":"5099749642829","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_2d202318-52e5-4ba9-bb39-f16718ff31f7.jpg?v=1794396060","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/fiona-apple-when-the-pawn-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
