It’s a very somber tale and doesn’t reflect well on how the church would judge and ridicule. “Forgiven” is about a religious upbringing. It would seem that she is taking from personal experience how men (or one man) have treated her and now that she has gained a little success no one can take her for a joke any more. Track 5 “ Right Through You” is really one of the females. For every negative there is a positive in her personality. It’s a song which is actually optimistic. “ Hand in my pocket” is a bit of an Alanis anthem. The final line of the song is one that sticks with me: This song is about parents who push their children due to not having succeed themselves.

“It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replacedĪre you thinking of me when you fuck her?”Īfter all that anger we find out a little more about our angry but fragile character in “ Perfect”. “Does she know how you told me you’d hold meīut the line in “You Oughta Know” which sums it all up is: We all know that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Like Adele she comes off as little unstable and whilst there is a seriousness in what she is saying there is a little bit of humour. Whereas Adele is apologetic that she is aware her former partner has now moved on Morissette cannot just leave things without comment. For me it is the same story as in “Someone like you” by Adele. “You Oughta Know” is the most damning song on the entire album. He voice is snarling and this sets the tone for what is to come. She even states that she doesn’t mean to dissect everything he does but she can’t help it. It is a dissection of her partners character. But when listening to this album you wouldn’t want to interrupt Morissette for fear of possible death. It is a bit like watching an episode of Jeremy Kyle (stay with me here) in that you can’t quite believe that things that are so personal would see a desire to be made so public.

She had been hurt and she was going to call the fucker who hurt her out and air every bit of dirty laundry she could – even to her own detriment. This was as female an album as you are going to get with Morissette leaving little room for debate in what she was trying to say. People talked about ‘Girl Power’ a year later when the Spice Girls came about but if you want Girl Power you go to this album. Morissette has had a fine career in music and had a number of albums out since this release but she will be forever synonymous with the tracks on this album. “Jagged Little Pill” celebrated it’s 20th anniversary in 2015.

The Top 40 hits slowed after "Hands Clean," the single pulled from 2002's self-produced Under Rug Swept, but Morissette worked steadily, her albums reflecting an. Instead, the album gave her a lasting career, one she cultivated through emotional candor and music she gently modulated as she matured.

Spinning off a series of Top Ten singles, including "You Oughta Know," "Hand in My Pocket," and "Ironic," and winning the 1996 Grammy for Album of the Year, Jagged Little Pill became an international blockbuster so squarely tied to its time, it threatened to leave Morissette behind in the '90s. Pitched halfway between glossy mainstream pop and angst-ridden alternative rock, Alanis Morissette's American debut Jagged Little Pill caught the zeitgeist of the mid-'90s, splitting the difference between Gen-X cynicism and self-help actualization.
