Description

"I'm the consistent person throughout all of this, whether I'm wearing sweatpants or whether I'm on stage in front of thousands of people with glitter on - same person, just tapping in to different aspects.” (Alanis Morissette) 

A down-to-earth global pop star. A deeply spiritual, cerebral powerhouse. A famously outspoken introvert. For her millions of fans, and the few unacquainted, defining rock luminary Alanis Morissette is an exercise in dichotomies and nuance. And though her most formidable traits are seemingly at odds with one another, they are, oddly enough, completely emblematic of all of us: complex, conflicting, and, most importantly, ever evolving. 

But here’s the rub: We don’t like our pop stars that way! Especially when they’re 21, and female, and it’s still the mid-'90s. In her courageously raw and musically rich Words + Music, the inimitable Alanis Morissette draws us right into that central supposed paradox as she opens up about the lifelong process of discovering that her voice is, in fact, composed of a multitude of voices. And despite external forces teaching her to sublimate certain ones as a child (anger, sadness, fear) and later, cultural forces demanding she oughta stick to one as a persona, Alanis has come out on the other side with a sense of peace and gratitude for her - only human - chorus of coexisting internal voices. 

With her striking command of language and profound emotional fluency, the now 46-year-old covers an enormous amount of personal ground with listeners, unpacking a lifetime of conscious self-discovery in an evocative rumination on her journey as an artist, celebrity, and woman. Listen closely as Alanis weaves her fascinating, funny, at times painful autobiographical story between eight of her most anthemic/kick-ass tracks. If you’re looking for Alanis to perform enthralling new versions of songs like “You Oughta Know”, “Ironic”, “Thank U”, or “Hand in My Pocket”, matched with compelling detail about the tunes and her creative process - well, you’re in the right place. And if you’re looking for Alanis to delve even deeper: to mine, examine, and ultimately make sense of seminal moments in her life as a means to inspire and enlighten your own? Grab your earbuds - you’ll be vastly rewarded!

By the end of her captivating session an impressive truth emerges: While most of us do soul search, only the rarest among us have the courage and discipline to actually cultivate what we discover. Alanis Morissette is such an example, willing to constantly listen to herself and respond in kind. After shaking up the world 25 years ago with Jagged Little Pill, hear her today as she continues to reach new heights - this time by revealing the range of her own humanity to help connect us with ours.

Reintroduced to Alanis

Loved hearing about an artist whose story has been unknown to me despite the fact that I was familiar with this fellow Canadians music. Really enjoyed how she married story and song.

Fantastic!

A bit of music and a lot of intimacy.
She certainly broke the mold, and made this autobiography hers. (Not long, winded, or boring)

I recognized all these songs!

I'm not into contemporary music, but I am into audiobooks, so I downloaded this. The autobiographical segments interspersed with musical tracks was very entertaining.

I said I wasn't into contemporary music, but I recognized all of these songs, and not just the tunes.

I’m Here, to say we need more

This was such a cool thing to listen to. I loved hearing Alanis talk about her past, her current thoughts about life, music, systemic issues within the music business, and her meeting her partner. I also really enjoyed her performances. I wish it was 10 hours longer but I’m not complaining about what we did get. I’m so happy she’s performed Smiling, my favourite song from her newest record, Such Pretty Forks In The Road.

Changed my world

I’ve been an Alanis fan since I bought her album Jagged Little Pill on cassette. At that age I loved the music but didn’t understand all the lyrics. I was too young, too immature and without the life experience to see what it all actually meant. Revisiting the music now that I’m in my 30s has made many things click for me in my own life. I truly enjoy the mix of music and words and was able to relate many affirmations she had for herself as the years went on. I thank you Alanis for sharing your voices and your raw emotions with the world. You’re an inspiration to many but especially to the female generation that will propel our gender to its level of truth. Love ya babe. Peace and Love from another Ottawa Hometown chick✌🏼❤️

Enjoyable

Enjoyed listening to Alanis' story told by her in her own words and the raw talent of her voice without any manipulation in her songs.

Great insight into Alanis

iIt was very well directed and edited...I enjoyed every minute of it. I followed her career for some time and lost touch after a while...I was happy to learn a lot of what I didn't know.
