Thirty Years of Jagged Little Pill

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Celebrate three decades of the ground-breaking album Jagged Little Pill with this stunning volume featuring photos, interviews, insightful analysis, and celebrity quotes. On June 13, 1995, 21-year-old Alanis Morissette released Jagged Little Pill, an existential awakening of sexuality, a rail against sexism, and a confessional catch-all of topics related to anxiety, depression, angst, eating disorders, religious dogma, and beauty standards. In an era coming off the high of the '80s and '90s pop machine, Alanis was a total about-face, peeling off the sheen of what female music leads could be. She was the voice sitting quietly within women in the post-grunge era who finally felt the freedom to let it all out. Alanis: Thirty Years of Jagged Little Pill tracks it all with:

• Interviews from Alanis's first manager Scott Welch, first publicist Mitch Schneider, and several women music journalists (Lyndsey Parker, Annie Zaleski, Amy Schroeder and Liza Lentini) who have covered Alanis' career as well as quotes from some of today's biggest names in music-including Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift-on how important Alanis and Jagged Little Pill was and continues to be
• A full rundown of every track on Jagged Little Pill, including the meaning of each song and what inspired it
• Photos tracing the rise of Alanis Morisette's career and the development of this iconic album
• An exploration of Jagged Little Pill's lasting legacy in music and pop culture, including becoming a Broadway hit musical
• A look at other highlights across Alanis' career

Alanis Morisette has become a godmother of confessional singer-songwriter styles, beloved by the new crop of talents, thanks largely to the success of Jagged Little Pill. Celebrate this unstoppable piece of music history that you oughta know!
