I liked her 10 years ago and everyone thought I was weird. Now when I say I like her it's like "oh, cool, she's great!" Tidal is one of my favorite albums.

I think that whole speech she made at whatever award show it was cost her a lot of credibility.

That's too bad. I thought her speech was from the heart and I repsected her for pointing out the phoniness of celebrity and idolizing all the insipid Hollywood idiots.
She's a great singer and I loved her when she came out, I haven't heard any of her recent music.

Her producer, Jon Brion, is also awesome. He produced her other albums and the "first version" of Extraordinary Machines. He's also produced / collaborated with Kanye West (Late Registration), Aimee Mann, David Byrne, as well as the soundtracks for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and all of PT Anderson's movies. Dude is sick talented. Check out his credits-

Jon Brion Producer Credits

His solo album, Meaningless, is really good (heavily Beatles influenced) and for LA folk, he performs a weekly show at Largo (on Fairfax, across the street from Canter's) which is an awesome show.
