A dozen years after the breakthrough debut of Jagged Little Pill, an album which earned four Grammys, sold 30 million records and spawned a dedicated worldwide fan base, Alanis Morissette remains not only an enduringly popular artist, but one whose success stems from a fierce commitment to authenticity and, to an equal extent, vulnerability. Both of these traits enable her to climb to new ground on her new Maverick/Reprise album, Flavors of Entanglement.
Her current collaborator is British electronica producer Guy Sigsworth (Bjork, Imogen Heap), who co-wrote the music with Morissette and produced the album. Nearly two dozen songs were born from writing sessions in London and Los Angeles and eleven were selected for the final cut of Flavors of Entanglement. While hewing to a familiar process creating songs as snapshots of her life Morissette found cathartic support during a big transition in her life. "I often write in retrospect, but this time all was written in real time," she says. "These songs served as an outlet and marking of this massively growthful time."
