Subsequent singles included “All I Really Want”, “Hand in My Pocket” and the instantly recognisable “Ironic”. The exposure led to heavy rotation on MTV and MuchMusic, and resulted in “Jagged Little Pill” reaching No. The album’s lead single “You Oughta Know” soon got picked up by the relevant and influential Los Angeles, California radio station KROQ-FM, snowballing Morissette to success.
By 1995 she had signed a deal with Maverick Records who issued “Jagged Little Pill” internationally in June 1995. Despite being popular and producing three Top 40 singles “An Emotion Away”, “No Apologies” and “(Change Is) Never a Waste of Time”, the album was a comparative commercial failure and the singer was dropped from MCA Canada.Īfter graduating from high school, in liaison with her manager Scott Welsh, Morissette moved to Toronto, Canada, and began recording her third full-length in songwriter and producer Glen Ballard’s studio. Morissette’s sophomore album “Now Is the Time”, released in 1992, was a more thoughtful and candid album, and featured less pop production work than its predecessor. Produced and co-written by Leslie Howe, the album became a hit in Canada, spawned the singles “Too Hot”, “Walk Away”, and “Feel Your Love”, and led to Morissette winning the Juno Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist. Three years later Morissette inked a publishing contract and in 1991, after signing with MCA Canada, released her debut album “Alanis”. Using money she had earned from the show the young talent recorded her first music demo entitled “Fate Stay With Me” in 1985, when the singer was 11. I think its first few weeks were like 42-11-5 or something like that.Prior to making waves in the music industry, Morissette had appeared on the children’s television show “You Can’t Do That on Television”. It's still stunning to see it leapfrog up the Hot 100 Airplay chart. It's kind of miraculous that Thank U did as well as it did, but then the first single was always going to blow up out of the gate. This was what her innermost muse pushed her toward.

But it really just feels, at the highest level, like an artist doing what she needs to do, exploring her shit, figuring out how to move through and into the next stage of her life and work.
She may have been aware that the final product was going to significantly reduce her audience, and she probably would have welcomed that likelihood if it had crossed her mind. "What does _ do immediately after their world-conquering, record-busting super album that catapaults them to the top of the heap?" Because any response is interesting, whether you play it safe and just crank up the elements that made the last one work or if you decide to do something bolder or heavier or more experimental and dare the audience to come with.Īlanis definitely fell into the latter category, but I don't believe it was calculated. The Bad, the Listen Without Prejudice, the Tusk, the Up!, the Around The World In A Day, the 25, and so on. Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie trained me to look closely at The Album After THE ALBUM because it's so rewarding to look at them from that angle.

That "As you you were kissed by g* G*o* O*d* D full on the lips" bit, I mean hi. Front Row is definitely the latter, and it's a dazzling, kaleodoscopic rush. Sometimes albums begin with a song that gently coaxes you into the album's world, and some just grab you and pull you in whether you're ready or not.
