Alanis Morissette To Release A New Album

Alanis Morissette will get back into the music scene this coming spring with her new album "Flavors of Entanglement." These songs are set to be produced by Guy Sigsworth, who has also worked with Madonna and Bjork.

Alanis says that she envisioned an album that pulled in her various musical interests, "a combination of everything" from organic instruments to hip-hop beats. She hopes to whittle down the album to 11 tracks in the upcoming weeks. Some of those tracks are "Not As We," which is solely piano and vocals, and "Moratorium," in which Alanis speaks of her readiness to stop repeating bad patterns.

The theme of the album is to explore Alanis’s real life struggles over the last few years in addition to the more political struggles in the world. In an interview, she said, "Really, in the end, the personal struggles are political. Our emotions align themselves with larger symptomatic things in the world. We face a large war out there, but Flavors of Entanglement more closely reflects the war in peoples' living rooms... the icy silence at home, versus the big cold war."

If you are as excited as I am to hear the newest songs, she is going to start touring with Matchbox Twenty in January 2008. You can get the tour dates here, from Matchbox Twenty's tour schedule on Billboard.

Alanis Morissette to be Inducted to Canadian Music Hall of Fame

As a long time fan of Alanis Morissette, I was so happy to hear that she will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame during Canadian Music Week, which is in March 2008. Do you remember Jagged Little Pill? That album won a Grammy Award - and it had several radio hits such as "Ironic" and "Hand In My Pocket".

Alanis Morissette has also received 2 Golden Globe nominations in her career - I remember one of them was for the song "Wunderkind" that she wrote for the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe".

Just for the sake of it, you can check out the video for "Ironic" below. If you want to, post a comment to tell us what your favorite Alanis Morissette song is!
