The Waterboys have enlisted Fiona Apple to contribute her distinctive, gritty vocals and sweeping piano to their new music, “Letter from an Unknown Girlfriend.” Stream it under.
The monitor is taken from their upcoming album, Life, Loss of life & Dennis Hopper, and is written from the angle of a lady calling out her former abuser. “I used to say/ No man would ever strike me,” Apple sings. “And no man ever did/ ‘Til I met you.”
Because the album’s liner notes level out, “‘Letter from an Unknown Girlfriend’ may very well be addressed to a controlling, abusive associate in any decade, any century.”
This isn’t Apple’s first connection to The Waterboys. In 2019, she lined their 1985 music “The Complete of the Moon” for the finale of Showtime’s acclaimed sequence The Affair.
