Fiona Apple is spilling the tea.
The singer has revealed that she quit cocaine after โone excruciating nightโ with her ex-boyfriend Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino.
The singer, 42, admits it was listening to the pair bragging that made her stop taking the drug, after that fateful night at Quentinโs house.
She told The New Yorker: โEvery addict should just get locked in a private movie theatre with Q.T. and P.T.A. on coke, and theyโll never want to do it again.โ
Fiona called filmmaker Paul โcoldly criticalโ and โcontemptuousโ and described their relationship as โpainful and chaotic.โ
While Apple doesnโt consider herself an alcoholic, she also admitted that she drank vodka alone for years until she โpassed out,โ after she would take a sip every time she walked past the freezer.
Fiona admitted that her first step to sobriety was recognizing the impulse to have a drink every time she walked past where it was kept, and admitted though she liked โgetting looseโ on wine, the regret that followed also put her off drinking.
Apple also revealed details of her long-awaited new album in the same interview, revealing that Fetch the Bolt Cutters โ the follow-up to 2012โs The Idler Wheelโฆ โ will contain 13 new tracks. She described her upcoming material as โpercussion-heavyโ and โraw.โ
The albumโs title was directly inspired by a line from British crime drama The Fall, when Gillian Andersonโs lead detective calls for the aforementioned bolt cutters to unlock the door to a room where a young girl has been tortured. โReally, what itโs about is not being afraid to speak,โ she tells writer Emily Nussbaum.
Tracks featured on the new LP will include โNewspaper,โ โOn I Go,โ โThe Drumset Is Gone,โ โRack of Hisโ and โKick Me Under the Table.โ
Fiona Apple confirmed that her new album was complete earlier this month. Last September, she said that she was hoping to release the project in early 2020.
โI was supposed to be done a million years ago,โ she said of its delay. โAnd I go off and I take too long making stuff. Iโm hoping for early 2020. I think.โ
