ALANIS MORISSETTE NEW ALBUM FULL
I sit here now experiencing the full impact of having trusted someone who did not warrant being trusted.”Īccording to Klayman, speaking via Zoom, the two had been on the same page at the project’s outset in 2019. “This is when I knew our visions were in fact painfully diverged. “I was lulled into a false sense of security and their salacious agenda became apparent immediately upon my seeing the first cut of the film,” she wrote in a statement before the film’s September premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, which she did not attend.
ALANIS MORISSETTE NEW ALBUM ARCHIVE
Though the singer, now 47, participates in the film, opening up her archive and offering warm, candid and circumspect reflections on her time before and after the fame rocket, Morissette has since denounced the project. The film’s celebration on Morissette’s talent – from early interviews and demos to concert footage to a taping, in lockdown, of a virtual performance of her new song Ablaze, four-year-old daughter Onyx on her hip – makes the black cloud hanging over the film’s HBO premiere all the more curious. Jagged, directed by Alison Klayman and the latest installment in the HBO Music Box series created by Bill Simmons, is a film clearly born of love for the album, tracing its arc from its inspiration – specifically, frustration with the music industry and the men in it – to creation to its global chorus of fervent fans. And, as a new documentary argues, Jagged Little Pill was a piece of art born from a few searing years of disempowerment and exploitation in the music industry, a fortuitous production partnership, and the miraculous trust a 19-year-old songwriter put into her own vision despite numerous rejections. Half of the track list, with lyrics at turns fiery and vulnerable, unsure and wise, became chart-toppers that still play in stores, on radio, and in a 2019 Broadway musical of the same name. Though still the most recognizable song, You Oughta Know is only one shade of the kaleidoscope of emotions on Jagged Little Pill, Morissette’s debut album from the same year – a commercial juggernaut and cultural touchstone for female angst that broke ceilings for such confessional pop stars as Taylor Swift, Lorde and Olivia Rodrigo.įor many who came of age in the 1990s, Jagged Little Pill was a revelatory album, radical in its honesty and stunning in its ubiquity – the 12th best-selling album of all time, with 33m copies sold.
