Aimee Mann, a seasoned American singer-songwriter known for her sardonic and literate lyrics, recently performed a Tiny Desk concert where she showcased her newest album, "Mental Illness." Mann's introspective yet witty songs have been resonating with audiences since the '80s when she was part of The Young Snakes. During the concert, she humorously introduced songs like "You Never Loved Me," showcasing her signature blend of melancholy and humor.

Born in Richmond, Virginia, Mann has released over a dozen albums both as a solo artist and collaboratively. She gained acclaim for her work with producer Jon Brion in the '90s and made significant contributions to the soundtrack of the film Magnolia. Mann's career has been marked by her ability to navigate the music industry independently, releasing albums like "Bachelor No. 2" on her label, SuperEgo Records.

Beyond music, Mann is a multi-talented artist, dabbling in painting and creating comics. Her accolades include two Grammy Awards, with "Mental Illness" winning Best Folk Album in 2017. Recognized as one of the greatest living songwriters by NPR and Paste, Mann's legacy in indie rock and alternative music is firmly established.
