She won five Grammy Awards for the record[7] includingAlbum of the Year, becoming the youngest winner of the category at the time. She continued this success with her next albumSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998), which saw her adapt anexperimental sound and was highly anticipated. That same year, her single "Uninvited" forCity of Angels won two Grammy Awards and was nominated for theGolden Globe for Best Original Song.

Beginning in 2002, Morissette took on further creative control and production duties as the sole producer of her fifth album,Under Rug Swept, which won her theJack Richardson Producer of the Year Award. Her 2005 song "Wunderkind" forThe Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe netted her a second nomination for the Golden Globe for Best Original Song.

Early life and education

[edit]

Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, atRiverside Hospital inOttawa, Ontario, Canada,[11]: 4 [12] the daughter of Georgia Mary Ann (née Feuerstein) and Alan Richard Morissette.[13] Her elder brother, Chad (born 1971), is an entrepreneur,[14] and her twin brother,Wade (12 minutes elder), is a musician.[15][16] Alan is ofFrench andIrish descent, while Georgia, who fledHungary during theanti-Soviet uprising in 1956,[11] hasJewish ancestry.[17] Morissette ethnically identifies as "a quarter Jewish".[18] On a 2024 episode of the American documentary television seriesFinding Your Roots, Morissette stated that Alan and Georgia had never told their children about the family's Jewish ancestry; Morissette did not discover it until her late 20s.[19][20]

In 1977, the family moved toLahr, a city in thestate ofBaden-Württemberg in what was thenWest Germany, and Alan and Georgia started working as teachers at thelocal base ofCanadian Air Command.[21] They returned to Ottawa in 1980, and Morissette started taking dance lessons the next year.[22][23][24] Morissette had aCatholic upbringing.[25] She attendedHoly Family Catholic School for elementary school[26] andImmaculata High School for seventh and eighth grades;[27] she appeared on five episodes of the children's television sketch comedy seriesYou Can't Do That on Television (1986) while attending the former.[28] Morissette then attended and graduated fromGlebe Collegiate Institute.[11][29]


Career

[edit]

1986–1993:Alanis andNow Is The Time

[edit]

Morissette is known for her emotivemezzo-soprano voice and confessional songwriting.[30][31][32] She recorded her first demo called "Fate Stay with Me", produced by Lindsay Thomas Morgan at Marigold Studios in Toronto, and engineered byRich Dodson of Canadian classic rock bandThe Stampeders.[33] A second demo tape was recorded on cassette in August 1989 and sent toGeffen Records, but the tape has never been heard as it was stolen, among other records, in a burglary of the label's headquarters in October 1989.

In 1991,MCA Records Canada released Morissette's debut album,Alanis, in Canada only. She co-wrote every track on the album with its producer,Leslie Howe. Thedance-pop album wentplatinum,[34] and its first single, "Too Hot", reached the top 20 on theRPM singles chart. Subsequent singles "Walk Away" and "Feel Your Love" reached the top 40. Morissette's popularity, style of music and appearance, particularly that of her hair, led her to become known as theDebbie Gibson of Canada;[35] comparisons toTiffany were also common. During the same period, she was a concert opening act for rapperVanilla Ice.[36] She was nominated for three 1992Juno Awards:Most Promising Female Vocalist of the Year (which she won),[37]Single of the Year andBest Dance Recording (both for "Too Hot").[38]

In 1992, Morisette released her second album,Now Is the Time, aballad-driven record that featured less glitzy production thanAlanis and contained more thoughtful lyrics.[35] She wrote the songs with its producer, Leslie Howe, and Serge Côté. She said of the album, "People could go, 'Boo, hiss, hiss, this girl's like anotherTiffany or whatever.' But the way I look at it... people will like your next album if it's a kick-ass one."[36] As withAlanis,Now Is the Time was released only in Canada and produced three top 40 singles—"An Emotion Away", the minoradult contemporary hit "No Apologies" as well as "(Change Is) Never a Waste of Time". The industry considered it a commercial failure since it sold only a little more than half the copies of her first album.[35][39] By Morissette's account, she was dropped by MCA Canada thereafter as her musical identity was shifting in a direction that they weren't interested in developing.[40]

1994–1999:Jagged Little Pill andSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie

[edit]

In 1993, Morissette's publisher Leeds Levy at MCA Music Publishing introduced her to the manager Scott Welch.[41] Welch toldHitQuarters he was impressed by her "spectacular" voice, her character and her lyrics. At the time she was still living with her parents. Together they decided it would be best for her career to move to Toronto and start writing with other people.[41] After graduating from high school, Morissette moved from Ottawa to Toronto.[35] Her publisher funded part of her development and she spent her time there composing and rehearsing with a number of other musicians, looking to find a songwriting partner for her next album. Although a number of songs came out of these sessions, none would make an album cut and no lasting partnerships were formed.[35][41]

After Morissette moved to Los Angeles, she met the producer and songwriterGlen Ballard, who believed in her talent enough to let her use his studio. They wrote songs together, with him supporting her sound rather than trying to shape or mold it to his own tastes.[35][41] In her newfound freeness of creative spirit, they wrote and recorded Morissette's first internationally released album,Jagged Little Pill, and in 1995 she signed a deal with Maverick Records. According to Welch, every other label they approached declined to sign her.[41]

Maverick Records releasedJagged Little Pill internationally in June 1995. It was expected only to sell enough for Morissette to make a follow-up, but the situation improved quickly whenKROQ-FM, an influential Los Angelesmodern rock radio station, began playing "You Oughta Know", the first single, featuringFlea andDave Navarro from theRed Hot Chili Peppers.[42] The song instantly garnered attention for its scathing, explicit lyrics,[35] and a subsequent music video went into heavy rotation on MTV andMuchMusic. In a 2008 interview,Dave Coulier said he was the ex-boyfriend who inspired "You Oughta Know"; in the 2021 documentaryJagged, Morissette denied it is about him.[43][44][45] In a 2019 appearance onWatch What Happens Live, Morissette mentioned that multiple people have taken credit for being the inspiration behind her song "You Oughta Know". She stated, "I just think: If you're going to take credit for a song where I'm singing about someone being a douche or an asshole, you might not want to say, 'Hey! That's me!'" She described the song as being written out of "devastation", reflecting a range of emotions that women often feel but are told to suppress, such as anger and sadness.[46]

After the success of "You Oughta Know", the album's other hits helped sendJagged Little Pill to the top of the charts. "All I Really Want" and "Hand in My Pocket" followed, and the fourth U.S. single, "Ironic", became Morissette's biggest hit. "You Learn" and "Head over Feet", the fifth and sixth singles, keptJagged Little Pill (1995) in the top 20 on theBillboard 200 albums chart for more than a year.Jagged Little Pill sold more than 16 million copies in the U.S.; it sold 33 million worldwide,[47] making it the second biggest-selling album by a female artist (behindShania Twain'sCome On Over).[48][49]

Morissette's popularity grew significantly in Canada, where the album was certified twelve times platinum[34] and produced fourRPM chart-toppers: "Hand in My Pocket", "Ironic", "You Learn", and "Head over Feet". The album was also a bestseller in Australia and the United Kingdom.[50][51]

Morissette's success withJagged Little Pill (1995) was credited with opening doors for female singers such asMeredith Brooks,Tracy Bonham andPatti Rothberg, and laterAvril Lavigne andPink.[52] Morissette and the album won six Juno Awards in 1996:Album of the Year,Single of the Year ("You Oughta Know"), Female Vocalist of the Year,Songwriter of the Year andBest Rock Album.[53] At the16th Brit Awards she wonBrit Award for International Breakthrough Act. At the38th Annual Grammy Awards in 1996, she wonBest Female Rock Vocal Performance,Best Rock Song (both for "You Oughta Know"),Best Rock Album andAlbum of the Year.[54]

"Ironic" got the instant success, though the lyrics were heavily criticized for theirmalapropism, and the music video received 6 nominations at the1996 MTV Video Music Awards, where it wonBest New Artist in a Video,Best Female Video andBest Editing in a Video (won by Scott Gray, Editor), and was also nominated forViewer's Choice,Best Direction in a Video andVideo of the Year. Rather than perform that song at the ceremony, Morrisette performed "Your House" instead, which is homage toJoni Mitchell.[11]: 164 [55] The song was also nominated for two1997 Grammy AwardsRecord of the Year andBest Music Video, Short Form[56]—and won Single of the Year at the1997 Juno Awards, where she also won Songwriter of the Year and the International Achievement Award.[57]

Morissette embarked on an 18-month world tour in support ofJagged Little Pill, beginning in small clubs and ending in large venues.Taylor Hawkins, who later joined theFoo Fighters, was the tour's drummer.Radiohead joined as the opening act in mid-1996.[58] The videoJagged Little Pill, Live, which was co-directed by Morissette and is about the bulk of her tour won a1998 Grammy Award forBest Music Video, Long Form.[59]

Following the tour, Morissette began practicingIyengar Yoga for balance. After the last December 1996 show, she went to India for six weeks, accompanied by Georgia, two aunts and two friends.[60] The trip left her with an indelible impression and set the cornerstone for the concept of her next album.[61]

Morissette was featured as a guest vocalist onRingo Starr's cover of "Drift Away" on his 1998 album,Vertical Man, and on the songs "Don't Drink the Water" and "Spoon" on theDave Matthews Band albumBefore These Crowded Streets. She recorded the song "Uninvited" for the soundtrack to the 1998 filmCity of Angels. Although the track was never commercially released as a single, it received widespread radio airplay in the U.S. At the1999 Grammy Awards, it won in the categories of Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, and was nominated forBest Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.[62] It was also nominated for aGolden Globe Award forBest Original Song.[63]

In November 1998, Morissette released her fourth album,Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, which she wrote and co-produced with Glen Ballard. The label hoped to sell 1 million copies of the album on initial release;[64] instead, it debuted at number one on theBillboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 469,000 copies—a record, at the time, for the highest first-week sales of an album by a female artist.[65] The wordy, personal lyrics onSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie alienated many fans, and after the album sold considerably less thanJagged Little Pill (1995), many labelled it an example of thesophomore jinx.[35][66] It received positive reviews, including a four-star review fromRolling Stone.[67] In Canada, it won the Juno Award forBest Album and was certified four times platinum.[34][68] "Thank U", the album's only major international hit single, was released in October 1998 and was nominated for the2000 Grammy Award forBest Female Pop Vocal Performance; the music video, which featured Morissette nude, generated mild controversy.[64][69] She directed the videos for "Unsent" and "So Pure", which won, respectively, theMuchMusic Video Award forBest Director and theJuno Award for Video of the Year.[68][70]

Morissette contributed vocals to four tracks onJonathan Elias's projectThe Prayer Cycle, which was released in 1999, where she paid homage to her roots by singing in Hungarian on "Mercy" and "Faith", and in French on "Hope" and "Innocence". The same year, she released the live acoustic albumAlanis Unplugged, which was recorded during her appearance on the television showMTV Unplugged. It featured tracks from her previous two albums alongside four new songs, including "King of Pain" (a cover ofThe Police song) and "No Pressure over Cappuccino", which she wrote with her main guitar player, Nick Lashley. The recording of theSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie track "That I Would Be Good", released as a single, became a minor hit onhot adult contemporary radio in America. Also in 1999, Morissette released a live version of her song "Are You Still Mad" on the charity albumLive in the X Lounge II. For her live rendition of "So Pure" atWoodstock '99, she was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the2001 Grammy Awards.[71] During the summer of 1999, Morissette toured with singer-songwriterTori Amos on the5 and a Half Weeks Tour in support of Amos' albumTo Venus and Back (1999).

2000–2007:Under Rug Swept andSo-Called Chaos

[edit]

In 2001, Morissette was featured withStephanie McKay on theTricky song "Excess", which is on his albumBlowback. She released her fifth studio album,Under Rug Swept, in February 2002. For the first time in her career, she took on the role of sole writer and producer of an album. Her band, comprisingJoel Shearer, Nick Lashley, Chris Chaney, and Gary Novak, played the majority of the instruments; additional contributions came fromEric Avery,Dean DeLeo,Flea, andMeshell Ndegeocello.

Under Rug Swept debuted at number one on theBillboard 200 chart, eventually going platinum in Canada and selling one million copies in the U.S.[34][72] It produced the hit single "Hands Clean", which topped theCanadian Singles Chart and received substantial radio play; for her work on "Hands Clean" and "So Unsexy", Morissette won aJuno Award for Producer of the Year.[73] A second single, "Precious Illusions", was released, but it did not garner significant success outside Canada or U.S. hot AC radio.

Later in 2002, Morissette released the combination packageFeast on Scraps, which includes a DVD of live concert and backstage documentary footage directed by her and a CD containing eight previously unreleased songs from theUnder Rug Swept recording sessions. Preceded by the single "Simple Together", it sold roughly 70,000 copies in the U.S. and was nominated for aJuno Award for Music DVD of the Year.[72][74]

Morissette performing in 2008

Morissette hosted theJuno Awards of 2004 dressed in a bathrobe, which she took off to reveal a flesh-colored bodysuit, a response to the era of censorship in the U.S. caused byJanet Jackson's breast-flash incident during theSuper Bowl XXXVIII halftime show.[75] She released her sixth studio album,So-Called Chaos, in May 2004.[29] She wrote the songs on her own again, and co-produced the album withTim Thorney and pop music producerJohn Shanks. The album debuted at number five on theBillboard 200 chart to generally mixed critical reviews, and it became Morissette's lowest seller in the U.S. and was her first album not to top the chart.[72] The lead single, "Everything", achieved major success onAdult Top 40 radio in America and was moderately popular elsewhere, particularly in Canada, although it failed to reach the top 40 on the U.S.Hot 100. Because the first line of the song includes the word "asshole", American radio stations refused to play it, and the single version was changed to include the word "nightmare" instead.[75] Unhappy that U.S. radio networks had required her to change a word in the song, Canadian radio played the unaltered version, with her stating at the 2004 Juno Awards in Canada: "Well, I am overjoyed to be back in my homeland, the true North, strong and censor-free."[76] Two other singles, "Out Is Through" and "Eight Easy Steps", fared considerably worse, although a dancemix of "Eight Easy Steps" was a U.S. club hit. Morissette embarked on a U.S. summer tour with long-time friends and fellow CanadiansBarenaked Ladies, working with the non-profit environmental organizationReverb.[77]

To commemorate the 10th anniversary ofJagged Little Pill (1995), Morissette released a studioacoustic version,Jagged Little Pill Acoustic, in June 2005. The album was released exclusively throughStarbucks'Hear Music retail concept through their coffee shops for a six-week run. The limited availability led to a dispute between Maverick Records andHMV Canada, who retaliated by removing Morissette's other albums from sale for the duration of Starbucks's exclusive six-week sale.[78][79] As of November 2010[update],Jagged Little Pill Acoustic had sold 372,000 copies in the U.S.,[72] and a video for "Hand in My Pocket" received rotation onVH1 in America. The accompanying tour ran for two months in mid-2005, with Morissette playing small theatre venues. During the same period, she was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.[80] She opened forThe Rolling Stones for a few dates of theirA Bigger Bang Tour in fall 2005.[81]

Morissette released thegreatest hits albumAlanis Morissette: The Collection in late 2005. The lead single and only new track, a cover ofSeal's "Crazy", was an Adult Top 40 and dance hit in the U.S., but achieved only minimal chart success elsewhere. A limited edition ofThe Collection features a DVD including a documentary with videos of two unreleased songs from Morissette's 1996 Can't Not Tour: "King of Intimidation" and "Can't Not". (A reworked version of "Can't Not" had also appeared onSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie.) It also includes a ninety-second clip of the unreleased video for the single "Joining You". As of November 2010[update],The Collection had sold 373,000 copies in the U.S., according toNielsen SoundScan.[72] That same year, Morissette contributed the song "Wunderkind" to the soundtrack of the filmThe Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and she was nominated for aGolden Globe Award forBest Original Song.[82]

2006 marked the first year in Morissette's musical career without a single concert appearance showcasing her own songs, with the exception of an appearance onThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno in January when she performed "Wunderkind".

On April 1, 2007, Morissette released a tongue-in-cheek cover ofThe Black Eyed Peas's selection "My Humps", which she recorded in a slow, mournful voice, accompanied only by a piano. The accompanying YouTube-hosted video, in which she dances provocatively with a group of men and hits the ones who act as if attempting to touch her breasts, had received 16,465,653 views as of February 15, 2009.[83] She did not take any interviews for a time to explain the song, and it was theorized that she did it as anApril Fools' Day joke.[84] Black Eyed Peas vocalistStacy "Fergie" Ferguson responded by sending Morissette a buttocks-shaped cake with an approving note.[85] On the verge of the release of her following album, she finally elaborated on how the video came to be, citing that she became very much emotionally loaded while recording her new songs one after the other and one day she wished she could do a simple song like "My Humps" and the joke just took a life of its own.[83]

Morissette performed at a gig forThe Nightwatchman, a.k.a.Tom Morello ofRage Against the Machine andAudioslave, at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles in April 2007. The following June, she performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" and "O Canada", the American and Canadiannational anthems, in Game 4 of theStanley Cup Finals between theOttawa Senators andAnaheim Ducks in Ottawa.[86] (The NHL requires arenas to perform both the American and Canadian national anthems at games involving teams from both countries.)

2008–2019:Flavors of Entanglement andHavoc and Bright Lights

[edit]

In early 2008, Morissette participated in a tour withMatchbox Twenty andMutemath as a special guest. Her seventh studio album,Flavors of Entanglement, which was produced byGuy Sigsworth, was released in mid-2008. She has said that the album was created out of her grief after her breakup withRyan Reynolds, saying "it was cathartic."[87] She stated that in late 2008, she would embark on a North American headlining tour, but in the meantime she would be promoting the album internationally by performing at shows and festivals and making television and radio appearances. The album's first single was "Underneath", a video for which was submitted to the 2007 Elevate Film Festival, the purpose of which festival was to create documentaries, music videos, narratives and shorts regarding subjects to raise the level of human consciousness on the earth.[88] On October 3, 2008, she released the video for her latest single, "Not as We".[89] She said the album was created out of her grief after splitting up with Reynolds, and the song "Torch" was written about him.[90]She has also recorded a cover of the 1984Willie Nelson andJulio Iglesias hit, "To All the Girls I've Loved Before", re-written as "To All the Boys I've Loved Before".[91] Nelson played rhythm guitar on the recording.[91] In April 2010, she released the song "I Remain", which she wrote for thePrince of Persia: The Sands of Time soundtrack. On May 26, 2010, the season finale ofAmerican Idol, she performed a duet of "You Oughta Know" with Runner UpCrystal Bowersox.[92] She left Maverick Records after all promotion forFlavors was completed.

Its lead single, "Guardian", was released on iTunes on May 15, 2012, and hit the radio airwaves four days prior to this.[96] The single had minor success in North America, charting theBillboardBubbling Under Hot 100 Singles in the US and almost reaching the top 40 in Canada. It was a hit in several European countries.
