Fiona Apple

I do hang out in #debian-women on IRC, which shouldn't be much of a surprise after my last blog entry about my Feminist Year. And for readers of my blog it also shouldn't be much of a surprise that Music is an important part of my life. Recently a colleague from Debian though asked me in said IRC channel about whether I can recommend some female artists or bands. Which got me looking through my recommendations so far, and actually, there weren't many of those in here, unfortunately. So I definitely want to work on that because there are so many female singers, songwriters and bands out there that I totally would like to share with the broader audience.

I want to start out with a strong female voice who was introduced to me by another strong woman—thanks for that! Fiona Apple definitely has her own style and is something special, she stands out. Here are my suggestions:

• Hot Knife: This was the song I was introduced to her with. And I love the kettledrum rhythm and sound.
• Criminal: Definitely a different sound, but it was the song that won her a Grammy.
• Not About Love: Such a lovely composition. I do love the way she plays the piano.

Like always, enjoy!
