She said of the song, \"It's about an a--hole, an old boyfriend,\" but instead of trashing him in simple terms the way most 14-year-olds would, Apple eviscerates him lyrically.\n\nSleep has tormented Apple her whole life, as well as nightmares, and her insomnia often shows up in her songs. \n\nThe songs for Tidal were written when she was still in high school; when she recorded them, she had never performed them live.\n\nFiona was discovered through her demo tape, which found its way to Andrew Slater at Sony Records, who signed her and produced the album. On \"Sleep To Dream,\" the drummer was Matt Chamberlain (ex-Pearl Jam) and the guitarist was Jon Brion, who later did production work for Apple. https://tinyurl.com/4rubxsny", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3613440, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3613440/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-05T07:14:32-08:00", "show": 65845, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65845/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn710108.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-58b77702-5b84-474d-bc45-725fb0361499/mbid-58b77702-5b84-474d-bc45-725fb0361499-37091834815_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn710108.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-58b77702-5b84-474d-bc45-725fb0361499/mbid-58b77702-5b84-474d-bc45-725fb0361499-37091834815_thumb250.jpg", "song": "I Am Already Enough", "track_id": "09983728-d5fe-4345-850b-189e2f786d10", "recording_id": "5010de22-5507-492e-af96-0dfcae52b3cf", "artist": "Angie McMahon", "artist_ids": [ "2ce4f102-23e6-42c4-84a2-3c13d24e1b66" ], "album": "Light, Dark, Light Again", "release_id": "58b77702-5b84-474d-bc45-725fb0361499", "release_group_id": "ef4d5b18-655e-400d-9a21-900ed81ac650", "labels": [ "AWAL Recordings Ltd", "Gracie Music" ], "label_ids": [ "1a59ec10-ab09-450c-86ec-04f1796be3fd", "db617dbc-dd3a-43a3-85bf-06c7d81060b2" ], "release_date": "2023-10-27", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "McMahon says:\n\"It's like it's a mourning track, and it's also a way to elevate myself.
