Alanis Morissette has spent nearly her entire career exploring love and the human condition. Her debut, a 1991 dance-pop album entitled Alanis, sold well in her native Canada, but it was her third LP that caused the rest of the world to take notice. Blending the rage that fueled alt-rock’s early-’90s rise with unflinching lyrics and a keen pop sensibility, 1995’s Jagged Little Pill quickly became a worldwide phenomenon thanks to singles like the scathing “You Oughta Know” and the playfully yearning “Ironic.” 1998’s Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie followed, and featured “Thank U,” a song about living a life of gratitude. A smoldering candor has defined her career since then, with tracks such as the ghostly “Uninvited,” the forthright “Hands Clean,” and the sparkling “Guardian” offering catharsis and pop bliss in tandem.
