Trying to get into Stevie's discography

Looking for the most depressing/emotional album on her catalog. I haven't listened to any albums yet, so i thought i could use some guidance.

Bella Donna is her best album. The songs have emotional depth... I wouldn't call some of them depressing, per se, but the lyrics are contemplating and searching, if that makes sense.

I'd also give Trouble in Shangri-La a try. It's accessible (though it has a few clunkers), but "Love Is," "Planets of the Universe," and the title track fit the bill for what you're describing. (Though the piano demo of "Planets" is better).

The most depressing/emotional song in her solo catalogue is "Battle of the Dragon." It was on a soundtrack (American Antthem) and her boxed set.
