"Flavors of Entanglement" is the seventh studio album by Canadian-American singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette. Released in 2008, the album offers a mix of different musical genres, including pop rock, electronica, and world music. Produced by Guy Sigsworth, the album is fundamentally characterized by its profound, emotive lyrics, focusing on themes such as broken relationships, self-discovery, and personal upheaval.
Morissette referred to the album as a recounting of her emotional journey during a particularly challenging period in her life, largely reflecting her split with actor Ryan Reynolds. Several songs in the album, including the lead single "Underneath", delve into the complexities of relationships, capturing the raw essence of human entanglements, bitterness, forgiveness, and elation.
The album received positive reviews from critics, and was praised for its evocative lyrics and multi-layered, eclectic sound. Beside its critical acclaim, it also made its way into several international music charts. The Deluxe Edition of "Flavors of Entanglement", with additional bonus tracks, was also released in the same year.
