The song, titled "So Sleepy," will be featured on the "Chickens in Love" benefit album, a yet-to-be-released compilation of songs co-written by Los Angeles youth at the creative writing non-profit 826LA."

Fiona Apple Releasing New Album in Spring 2011​

After five years of waiting, Fiona Apple fans will be happy to learn that the singer/songwriter has a new album on the way.

According to a recent profile in Modern Drummer magazine of Apple's drummer and co-producer Charley Drayton, the follow-up to her highly acclaimed 2005 LP "Extraordinary Machine" has a spring 2011 release date. The article states that Drayton, who has toured with Apple since 2006, co-produced and mixed the record, as well as played on it.

An exact release date and album title is still not known, but according to singer-songwriter Michelle Branch, Apple's new material should be worth the wait. "Hate to brag but I heard a couple new Fiona Apple tracks today. Amazing," Branch wrote on Twitter Sept. 12.

Fiona Apple Talks “Challenging” New Songs, LP4​
​

Ever since drummer/bassist Charley Drayton spilled the beans last month that he’s co-producing Fiona Apple’s 4th LP, tentatively set for Spring ‘11, we’ve been anxious to hear a few more details about the somewhat surprise project. As it turns out, Drayton not only told Modern Drummer of the forthcoming effort, but he and Apple herself [!] gave Drumhead Magazine a more specific scoop on their creative partnership.

Apple said (via):

Charley is my partner now in music. We’re working together producing my next album, and the way that I feel with him has influenced the way I write. I’ve written things that are a little more challenging for me to play and a little more challenging for me to sing because I know that he’s going to be with me and that I’m going to get that feeling of focus and dedication to every single thing that I get when I’m around him.

Drayton:

The song treatments were piano and vocal only and on my first listen, I not only thought they were amazing, but also that they could have been released just as they were… Fiona expressed wanting to incorporate minimal instrumentation to the new material. In two weeks we’d pretty much built strong treatments for half of the songs. The feeling I had was like being on a great first date, one night after the next. At the end of two straight weeks, we looked at each other, exhausted but buzzing on something we’d never been on before…

Full Drayton quote:

“A little over a year ago I did a gig with Fiona and [keyboardist] Dave Palmer, just a trio. For some time she'd been looking to perform her music in a different way than the original formula, which I believe may have been research toward a new path for ideas to flow musically. And during that phase I felt she'd soon find new territory to explore and create.
Not long after, she called and asked if I would listen to some new songs and ideas she'd been working on. The song treatments were piano and vocal only and on my first listen, I not only thought they were amazing, but also that they could have been released just as they were. I thought her fans would love that as well. Needless to say, I was overwhelmed to be one of the first to hear the body of work, although once I landed back on my feet, I realized the challenge in front of me.
Fiona expressed wanting to incorporate minimal instrumentation to the new material. She asked me how I would join rhythm to the pieces and if any ideas came to me, would I share them with her? She was already in producer mode.
A few weeks later I told her I had some ideas to investigate, so we went into the studio and it all began to unfold. In two weeks we'd pretty much built strong treatments for half of the songs. The feeling I had was like being on a great first date, one night after the next. She liked the character and space we were constructing. Eventually, I began to wonder when we would hit a bump, but some universal force left the path wide open for us to grow deeper into the journey.
At the end of two straight weeks, we looked at each other, exhausted but buzzing on something we'd never been on before, and she said she wanted to continue working on the project together.
Fiona and the material have exposed a much wider spectrum of my musical vocabulary, even to my surprise at times. Seldom does a musical experience reach my soul in the way Fiona's has. I'm blessed to have this chapter in my life."

Full Fiona quote:
"There's something about Charley that makes me pay attention to what's happening 'right now.'
On the road, there was one song that we would do, which was sort of the wild card.
It was really difficult and we often felt afraid playing it but we would always meet eyes before doing it.
I don't know if that's something everyone does but with Charley, I could be within a whirlwind in my mind in the middle of a show, and then remember:
"I've got to look at charley before we play this song," and as soon as I looked at him I would feel very, very focused and not afraid.

He is my partner now, in music.
We're working together producing my next album and the way that I feel with him has influenced the way I write.
I've written things that are a little more challenging for me to play and a little more challenging for me to sing because I know that he's going to be with me and that I'm going to get that feeling of focus and dedication to every single thing that I get when I'm around him.

I'm not really great at speaking in musical terms, so it's hard for me to talk about specifics but I'm attracted to his playing and I'm attracted to his language."

Fiona Apple To Release New Music 'In The Next Few Weeks,' says L.A. Reid​

After a six-plus year hiatus, singer-songwriter Fiona Apple will finally be releasing new music in the coming weeks.

Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid posted to Twitter on Sunday (Jan. 22), letting his 297,000 followers know that new music from the critically acclaimed "Tidal" star was coming soon.

"Lot's of good music coming from @Epic_Records in the next few weeks. Stay tuned music fans. Welcome back Fiona! #BeEpic," he wrote, later tweeting "YES Fiona Apple!" to clarify.

Apple's follow-up to 2005's "Extraordinary Machine" has been near release for more than a year, with release originally expected for spring 2011. At a November concert in Los Angeles, Apple reportedly told the crowd that she couldn't remember how to play any of her new songs because "they've been done for a fucking year."


In late 2010, Drummer Charley Drayton told Modern Drummer magazine that he's been co-producing Apple's fourth studio album. Source

Fiona Apple Announces March Tour Dates​
It's been a good few months for long-awaited live comebacks: first Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum comes out of hiding for an extended tour, then D'Angelo returns with a few overseas tour dates, and now Fiona Apple has announced a proper trek next month, following a few scattered dates last year. At this rate, we can expect the Outkast tour announcement pretty soon.

Apple's six-date tour will begin days after the singer-songwriter's performance at SXSW on Mar. 15. The follow-up to Apple's 2005 album "Extraordinary Machine" may also be around the corner -- last month Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid announced that the release of Apple's fourth full-length will "absolutely be this year."

Here are the dates for Fiona Apple's March tour:

March 19: Chicago, Ill. (Lincoln Hall)
March 21: Washington D.C. (TBA)
March 23: Brooklyn, N.Y. (Music Hall of Williamsburg)
March 24: Atlantic City, N.J. (TBA)
March 26: New York, N.Y. (Bowery Ballroom)
March 27: Boston, Mass. (Royale Boston)
