That has a lot to do with where I was at then, having met Glen, moving from Canada and moving away from any preconceived notions of how songs ‘should’ be written. It was the beginning of a new way to approach songwriting altogether,” she explains.The result of their collaboration was Jagged Little Pill (Maverick Records), an emotionally raw collection of songs that introduced Alanis Morissette to the world and sold more than 30 million units worldwide. With heavy-rotation singles like “You Oughta Know,” “Head Over Feat,” “Hand in My Pocket” and “Ironic,” it became the best-selling debut album by a female artist in the U.S., and the highest-selling debut album worldwide. Nominated for six Grammy Awards including Best New Artist and Song of the Year (“You Oughta Know”), Jagged Little Pill won four trophies for Album of the Year, Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance (“You Oughta Know”).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540872999095,"sku":"210000032671","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/81lyx9v9zvl-sl1425.jpg?v=1781154566"},{"product_id":"alanis-morissette-supposed-former-infatuation-junkie-vinyl-180g","title":"Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dark and wandering album, the mystery of SUPPOSED FORMER INFATUATION JUNKIE began on it's cover, with an image of Alanis's mouth while laughing and a text printed over that image that refers to the Eight Precepts of Buddhism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48541070262455,"sku":"210000065000","price":53.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/2603207.jpg?v=1781155291"},{"product_id":"alanis-morissette-such-pretty-forks-in-the-road-cassette","title":"Such Pretty Forks in the Road CASSETTE","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlanis Morissette's \"Such Pretty Forks in the Road\" is available on cassette, showcasing her distinctive blend of alt\/indie rock.
