I think that is also part of what Stevie said about OSOTM. In it being more "real" - and that it is more clearly understood and written. People do seem to "get" the songs on it more than some of her previous ones. And also she mentioned she basically "hid" less and was very honest and open in those songs. I think you hear more pain and stress of her life in that album too. She mentioned something to the effect of it being very honest. Which I think is another reason people love it. So yes, all her stuff to me seems magical. It really does. And with song titles like Ghosts and Alice and Juliet - it is a bit fantasy sounding. But all those songs then get into really deep and closely personal stuff with her. I think that is what that interview I saw was basically saying. And it seems that way to me too. No, it's not back to her roots. I never heard anything about that. It was quite different, or so it seemed to me.
Again, I think I just was not crazy about the producer.
