Alanis Morissette's "Alanis" is the debut studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter, released in 1991. The album, recorded when Morissette was just 17 years old, showcases her early foray into pop music before her later success with alternative rock and confessional songwriting.
Featuring tracks like "Feel Your Love," "Too Hot," and "An Emotion Away," the album presents a youthful and upbeat sound, with catchy melodies and radio-friendly production. Morissette's distinctive voice and introspective lyrics hint at the depth and emotional honesty that would later define her music.
While "Alanis" received modest commercial success upon its release, it did not achieve the same level of recognition as Morissette's later albums. Nevertheless, the album remains a fascinating glimpse into the early career of one of the most influential and successful female artists of the 1990s.
Overall, "Alanis" serves as a stepping stone in Morissette's evolution as an artist, laying the groundwork for the groundbreaking success she would achieve with albums like "Jagged Little Pill" in the years to come.
