Conan Gray may be quarantining solo, but he's not alone when it comes to managing fame and his exploding music career. 

The staff of Pitchfork listens to a lot of new music. A lot of it.

Fiona Apple's new album, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, has topped this week's new music poll.In the poll, published Friday (April 17) on Billboard, music fans voted for Apple's long-awaited fifth studio release as their favorite new release from this week.The 42-year-old artist's Fetch the Bolt Cutters album arrived Friday, marking Apple's first new album in eight years.

Fiona Apple isn't holding anything back these days.

Fiona Apple, Playboi Carti and Brett Eldredge brought a week of comeback music, and it's bound to hold fans over quite well during quarantine. But which new music release is doing the trick for you?Apple's fifth album, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, bridges the eight-year gap between the art-pop singer-songwriter's last project, with piano crescendos, cymbals crashing and other sonic anomalies only the 42-year-old artist could pull off.

The drought is over. Fiona Apple is back in action with Fetch the Bolt Cutters, her first new album in eight years.

While many artists have retreated from their album release plans, Fiona Apple forged on and thrust her new album, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, into an ailing, uncertain and largely paralyzed world. What a welcome, electric antidote it is.

Fiona Apple has released her first new album in eight years. Listen to Fetch The Bolt Cutters below.

Fiona Apple is back and as great as ever.

Billboard’s First Stream serves as a handy guide to this Friday’s most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond.This week, Fiona Apple returns when we need her most, Sam Smith and Demi Lovato are “ready” to take over pop radio, and DaBaby can’t stop and won’t stop.

With so much good music being released all the time, it can be hard to determine what to listen to first. Every week, Pitchfork offers a run-down of significant new releases available on streaming services.

It feels like Fiona Apple really got a big head start on us with this whole quarantining thing. Fans do not need to be reminded that it’s been eight years since her previous album, “The Idler Wheel…” (though they probably will require a refresher on its full 23-word title, which once might have been committed to memory).

The drought is over.
