Fiona Apple

In May 2006, when Fiona Apple performed "I Want You" alongside Elvis Costello at the "Decades Rock Live" event, she was in a transitional phase of her career following the release of her critically acclaimed album "Extraordinary Machine," which came out in 2005. This album marked her return after a six-year hiatus since "When the Pawn..." in 1999, showcasing her distinctive voice and songwriting prowess. The collaboration with Costello at the live recording reflects her ongoing influence in the music industry and her ability to connect with established artists. Notably, during this period, Apple was lauded for her intense and confessional lyrics which resonated deeply with fans, and her performance in this show exemplifies her dynamic stage presence and emotional delivery. The partnership with Costello also highlights her appreciation for musical storytelling, bridging a generational gap in songwriting.
