Alanis Morissette needs little to no introduction in the world of music. So, we\u2019ll keep it short and sweet in case you lived under a rock for a considerable amount of the 90s. The iconic Canadian rocker has garnered seven Grammy Awards and has sold more than 60 million albums worldwide. Her first international album, \u201cJagged Little Pill\u201d, which dropped in 1995, sold more than 33 million units globally. It would be appropriate to insert a \u201cgasp\u201d here. Not already knowing Alanis Morissette is hardly forgivable, but luckily enough for those in music hibernation, she released a brand new album \u201cHavoc and Bright Lights\u201d in August. <\/p>\n
Recently, she performed songs off of \u201cHavoc and Bright Lights\u201d, including \u201cWoman Down\u201d, \u201cHavoc\u201d and Guardian\u201d and the classic, \u201cYou Learn\u201d for a Soundcheck concert<\/a>. The concert series also features an interview with Morissette, where she discusses the writing process of \u201cHavoc and Bright Lights\u201d, the impact of motherhood on her music, the evolvement of female empowerment, her need to alleviate workaholism and how her sound has grown over the years.<\/p>\n Titling Morissette simply as a seasoned artist can be seen as an undermining description. She is more than a \u201cbeen there, done that\u201d kind of musician. Responsible for paving the way for female artists of the 21st century, Morissette resurrected the women\u2019s rights movement, making it applicable to future generations of the music world. So, Katy Perry, it\u2019s about time to thank Morissette for your hit, \u201cI Kissed A Girl\u201d. <\/p>\n Head on over to iTunes<\/a> where you can purchase \u201cHavoc and Bright Lights\u201d. <\/p>\n
