Possibly a bit surprising, but aside from radiohead she is my favourite artist. I love everything she has done, and tru am a bit obsessed with her as a person as well.
she was a bit of a child piano prodigy and was the youngest person to be accepted into the peabody conservatory at age 5. and then got kicked out for her obsession with rock and roll. so her albums are all piano driven, and the talent is obvious both in the composition and the technique.
This album is my favourite right now. its a lot darker than her first two albums which made her famous and gave her this “fairy princess” label that everyone placed on her… so she made this which basically destroyed that image. some very dark themes, with an acoustic and baroque sound…harpischord and clav and whatnot.
