SUCH PRETTY FORKS IN THE ROAD

This year will mark the twenty-fifth year since the release of Alanis Morissette's ground breaking album, "Jagged Little Pill".  And a rock musical inspired by the record called "Jagged Little Pill" which used songs from the album and other material from Morissette was created in 2018 and opened on Broadway last December. The Canadian performer was going to embark on a world tour in celebration of that milestone and promote new music yet those plans came to a crashing halt due to the pandemic which has continued to keep the entire planet shut down. 

Morissette has chosen not to let that delay her new music and has released "Such Pretty Forks in the Road", her first album in eight years. The singer has been working on this project since 2018, trying to squeeze time in between marriage (to fellow musician, Mario "Souleye" Treadway since 2010) and raising children (with three to date and the youngest was just born last year). The forty-six year old Morissette (who co-wrote "Such Pretty Forks" with Michael Farrell and features production by Alex Hope and Catherine Marks) has moved on from youthful angst in her music and is now sharing her experiences on more mature subject matters like addiction, mental illness and postpartum depression. Yet these songs are still fueled with a powerful raw energy and thoughtful, urgent lyrics. 

A music video for the song, "Ablaze", which is a loving dedication to her children, was just released. It is a true family affair as the clip features Morissette's husband and their little ones at home.
