Why Alanis Morissette Matters by Megan Volpert

3.0

Not wholly what I was expecting, based on the blurb. This was less of an Alanis bio and more of a dissection of Jagged Little Pill. Alanis' inspirations for each song are discussed, more surface level than with great depth. Subsequent albums and tracks are used to illustrate that while Alanis has matured, she is still an advocate and ally- which all goes against the argument some make that Alanis "sold-out" and drastically changed her musical style. Artists may grow & change, but lyrically, Alanis is still on fire.

Thanks to the publisher for making the eARC available through Edelweiss.
