Alanis Morissette is set to release her new album, Flavors of Entanglement, on 5/20. It is her first album since 2004’s mostly disappointing So-Called Chaos. It seems there might be hope for this one as Morissette reportedly recorded the album with producer Guy Sigworth, also of the band Frou Frou who co-wrote and co-produced several songs off Bjork’s Homogenic and Post as well as Madonna’s “Nothing Fails” and “What It Feels Like For a Girl.”
Alanis told Billboard: “When I heard the song ‘Let Go’ by [Sigsworth's band] Frou Frou, I listened over and over again. I was blown away by it. I called him on the phone myself and after a couple of conversations, I could tell we were going to be on the same page.”
The first single, “Underneath” will be officially released on 3/25 but was first heard back in September of 2007 when an unofficial video for the song was debuted at the Elevate Film Festival in LA. Morissette posted on her official website that the video was not intended for release and would not necessarily be used moving forward. The piano breakup ballad “Not as We” (”From scratch begin again, but this time I as I, and not as we“) was also heard in an early form after being featured on a 2007 episode of House.
Though not from the upcoming album, here is undoubtedly one of Alanis’ best songs, though never officially released beyond this Unplugged version, “No Pressure Over Cappucino” - download it here.
