Fiona Apple - 'Hot Knife' (Music Video)
Fiona Apple reunites with ex-boyfriend Paul Thomas Anderson for her new video, "Hot Knife". The song - ranked at #12 in Rolling Stones' 50 Best Songs of 2012 list - is the newest single from Fiona's June 2012-released 4th studio album, "The Idler Wheel...". "Idler" became Fiona's first new album in seven years. And, although it didn't sell hugely, it ended up being nominated for "Best Alternative Album" at this year's Grammys.
The only official single lifted from "The Idler Wheel..." until today was "Every Single Night". Don't expect to see Fiona promoting or performing "Hot Knife" anywhere, though. She had to cancel her South American tour last year 'cause of the delicate health of her dog, Janet - Fiona Apple posted at the time a lengthy, hand-written letter on her Facebook - so until everything passes, don't expect Fiona to make any public appearance of any kind.
However, it seems she doesn't want to let the "The Idler Wheel..." album completely fall into oblivion so fast, considering all the work she put in its recording. That's why she found the time to film a music video for the fan-favorite, critcally-acclaimed song "Hot Knife", with former lover Paul Thomas Anderson sitting on the director's chair. In it, Fiona keeps it extra simple and personal. Dressed in a black sleeveless top, with no make up on, Fiona sings and 'feels' every lyric of the song with such passion looking to camera. She plays the drums, and even invited her sister Amber McAfee Maggart to particpate in the MV, as they sing "Hot Knife" in a divided-in-three screen.
