075 - Alanis Morissette - Alanis (1991) (with Phil Fleming)
Singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette is indelibly linked to the 1990s. Her commercial breakthrough Jagged Little Pill remains a vital piece of pop culture from the decade, in addition to selling millions of copies worldwide, earning widespread critical acclaim, and heralding a wave of successful female pop-rockers. The likes of P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch, Shakira, and many others have cited Morissette and Jagged Little Pill as major influences on their development as artists.
If not for Jagged Little Pill, Morissette's own career might have gone in a different direction entirely. Prior to her embrace of post-grunge and alt-rock sounds, she was poised to be Canada's newest teen pop sensation, in a similar vein to the likes of Debbie Gibson or Tiffany. Her eponymous debut record Alanis even resulted in minor commercial success, but is nowadays considered an oddity in her catalogue. Equally beloved and reviled by certain of her fanbase, and best left for dead according to Morissette herself.
On a new episode of Jukebox Zeroes Lilz and Pat welcome the return of Phil Fleming to the program, for a dive into the teenybopper-minded Alanis. Join them for a journey filled with confusing production choices, Canadian flavour, and new jack swing for white people.
