Touring to promote her first album in six years, Fiona Apple did not communicate well between songs at her recent performance at Wiltern. Apple also seemed a little nervous while talking on the stage. She introduced “Shadowboxer” as “a song I mean very much,” but apologized after performing it, explaining that she’d been referring to a different song. At another point, an audience member yelled out “We love you,” and Apple seemed entirely confused.



Backed by a bass, drums and two electronic keyboard players, Apple spent much of her time seated at a baby grand. But when she stood center stage, her physical movements supported the conflicts within her songs and her vocal performance. Apple clutched frequently at her blue gown, kicked often with her right leg and occasionally broke a tense pose by flinging an arm or two. Whether she was acting or literally reliving the emotions of the songs, she seemed frustrated, distraught and entirely conflicted.
