Alanis Morissette launches her new video for latest single 'Guardian'

Rewind back to the '90s and Alanis was selling millions of albums with ground-breaking songs fueled by bitterness and spite. Nowadays the Canadian lady is a much more mellow artist singing songs about angels and motherhood ('Guardian').

All that said and done, she may have lost her bite but she does still have one of the most distinctive voices out there.

"Guardian" is the first single off Alanis Morissette's upcoming album Havoc and Bright Lights, available for pre-order on iTunes on July 31.

Check out Alanis' new video for 'Guardian' that was shot in Berlin.

Jagged Edge

How do you follow an album that sells 26 million copies? Since Jagged Little Pill, this is the dilemma that has haunted Alanis Morissette. A decade on, she feels able to come to terms with her whirlwind success.

Jagged Little Pill Acoustic

Ten years and 30 million sales after she first burst onto the scene urging self-empowerment, the Canadian songstress returns to the album that made her an overnight star.

Hand In My Pocket

In a last-ditch attempt to regain some of her initial commercial success, Alanis has re-recorded her 30-million selling Jagged Little Pill as an acoustic album. ‘Hand In My Pocket’ is the first fruits of such an uncalled for exercise, and it sounds like the sort of terrible cover version you’d hear on something like You’re A Star.

Chaos Theory

What would the old bishop of Down have made of the avowed feminist who made her name singing about blow-jobs in public places? The answer is open to debate, but as Colin Carberry discovers, maybe the bishop and Alanis Morissette have more in common than you might think.

So Called Chaos

Is there any other artist in the history of pop music who has used the words “I”, “Me”, “My”, “Mine” with such regularity? No wonder one UK critic was recently moved to describe Alanis Morissette as “the Queen of self-absorption”.

Under Rug Swept

Under Rug Swept starts promisingly with the toothy guitar hook of '21 Things', but it isn't long before the groove fractures under a shopping list of Alanis' requirements in a lover, a bunch of cumbersome lines that probably scan better than they sound.

MTV Unplugged

While her recent visit to the Point Theatre met with mixed reviews, the show containing perhaps a little too much material from her last album, the critically panned (and rightly so . . .), Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, this unplugged offering is, well, alright.
