I was reading an article on cnn.com about Fiona Apple's new album.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/0 ... index.html
It sounds very fishy. Do you think she leaked them to bring some attention back to herself because she hasn't had much attention since her debut? And YHF's similar situation defintely helped that album.

It could be. But if it's a publicity stunt why would they go to the trouble and expense of rerecording the whole album with a new producer?

I was wondering about that too. Maybe it gives people who downloaded the old album a reason to buy the new one. That wouldn't be my idea, but I wouldn't put it past the industry folks.

After all the goddamn shouting matches we have had over this, you fucking throw out that you have finally come around to civilised man's way of seeing things in this fucking thread. You need you head looked at CBK.
