Fiona Apple Joins the Waterboys on New Song “Letter From an Unknown Girlfriend”: Listen

Fiona Apple is one of several featured artists on the Waterboys’ new album, and her contribution to the record is out today. After covering the band’s calling-card anthem, “The Whole of the Moon,” back in 2019, Apple gets her hands on a tailor-made composition by the band’s frontperson, Mike Scott, in “Letter From an Unknown Girlfriend.” Check it out below.
The song’s parent album, Life, Death And Dennis Hopper, also features Bruce Springsteen and Steve Earle, among others. As the title suggests, it is a concept album about the late actor, and it arrives April 4. Apple has dipped in and out of the studio since Fetch the Bolt Cutters, her latest releases being an Iron & Wine duet and a cover of Don Heffington’s “Lately.”
