As '90s icons go, Fiona Apple figured to be more durable than she's been. Maybe it's just that she doesn't really release music that often, or maybe she's too much of a perfectionist, but she just hasn't stuck around like it seemed she might.
That being said, it's always a pleasure when she releases new music. And it's a double-pleasure when said music is a Trump-baiting Christmas song. "Trump's Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire" is about, well, you know. Apple channels Mel "The Velvet Fog" Tormé with her song. It's sort of a lullaby, but with an absurdly disquieting subject.
Listen to the song here. Or check out her Tumblr, where she originally posted the track. Keep putting out music, Fiona. Do a whole Trump Christmas album. Why not? It's 2016, nothing makes any sense any more.
