Liz Phair (album)
Liz Phair is the fourth album by American singer/songwriter Liz Phair, released in 2003. The album received intense criticism from every direction. Indie fans proclaimed that she had sold out, and pop fans thought Phair was too old to be relevant. The album was supposed to be an enormous hit, but it fared only as well as its predecessors, selling around 400,000 copies. It launched a hit in "Why Can't I" and a lesser hit in "Extraordinary."
