.Alanis Morissette takes a look back on her album 'Jagged Little Pill' 25 years after its release.
Featuring classic hits like"Ironic,""You Oughta Know" and"Hand in My Pocket," it's an album that we still can't get enough of, all these years later. Now, in an exclusive new interview with ET, Morissette reflects on what it was like releasing the record back in 1995.
"Just before I moved to Los Angeles, I committed to myself that I wouldn't do anything other than make a record that really was a snapshot of that period of time, and that's what wound up happening," she continues."While I was writing, I was just really insulated. I would work five days a week and then I would rollerblade on the weekends from the Santa Monica Pier to Manhattan Beach and back. That's all I would do.
"Before children, before marriage, I would be doing a vocal, and if there was anything in my peripheral vision I'd freak out and say, 'I can't focus,'" she recalls."Now I'm doing vocals and my daughter's on top of my head, I'm breastfeeding, there are doors opening and closing. 'Where's the puppy,' you know? I'm doing vocals and writing and trying to eat soup ... so, multitasking has been taken to a whole new level.
Explaining the album's quirky title, Morissette says,"It's me being slightly checked out by calling it 'pretty,' and just really talking about the multiple junctures -- having lived in Los Angeles for 25 years, moving to Northern California, starting a family, and getting married was completely outside of my wheelhouse."
