EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE has drawn rave reviews from critics nationwide, with the New York Times and Entertainment Weekly each proclaiming it to be the album of the year. Among the gaggle of publications that included it in their best records of the year lists were Blender, Spin and Rolling Stone who wrote, Apples previous albums were rarely so focused or direct, and at twenty-eight, shes just now hitting her stride. The Los Angeles Times added: Theres an almost irresistible feel-good spirit to this refreshing tale of self-affirmation, served up in a pop cabaret style reminiscent of the rich sophistication of French chanteuse Edith Piaf.
Apple established herself as a visionary singer/songwriter at age 19 with 1996s debut album, Tidal. That stunning record went on to earn her a Grammy Award in 1998 for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, establishing her as an uncompromising and original artist while gaining intensely loyal fans all over the world.
