From Wiki:
Alanis Nadine Morissette (born June 1, 1974) is a
Canadian-American singer-songwriter, record
producer and occasional actress. She has won
twelve Juno Awards and seven Grammy Awards.
Morissette began her career in Canada, and as a
teenager recorded two dance-pop albums, Alanis and
Now Is the Time, under MCA Records. Her
international debut album was the rock-influenced
Jagged Little Pill, which remains the best-selling
debut album by a female artist in the U.S., and
the highest selling debut album worldwide in music
history, selling 30 million units worldwide.[1]
Her following album, Supposed Former Infatuation
Junkie, was released in 1998 and was a success as
well. Morissette took up producing duties for her
subsequent albums, which include Under Rug Swept,
So-Called Chaos and Flavors of Entanglement.
Morissette has sold more than 40 million albums
worldwide [2][3]. In February 2005, Morissette
became a naturalized citizen of the United States
while maintaining her Canadian citizenship [4].
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie 1998
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is the fourth
album and second internationally released album by
singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, released by
Maverick Records in the United States on November
3, 1998 (see 1998 in music).
After the massive success of Jagged Little Pill
(1995), Morissette was considered one of the
biggest music stars in the world, and many fans
anxiously awaited a follow-up album. A dark and
wandering album, the mystery of Supposed Former
Infatuation Junkie began on its cover, with a shot
of Alanis' laughing and the following text printed
over that image that refers to the The Eight
Precepts of Buddhism.
“ We ask you to abide
by the following
moral code upon
the premiess.
Please refrain from
killing
stealing
sexual misconduct
taking intoxicants
playing, music, singing
please dress respectfully. ”
The album was also an unusual project because it
featured many songs with no hooks or choruses,
confounding people who heard it. Songs such as
"Front Row", "The Couch", and "I Was Hoping"
challenged the traditional song formula.
Morissette wrote "Thank U" and "Baba" after her
trip to India. The protagonist of "Baba" goes on a
spiritual pilgrimage to India where she encounters
a guru who, like many spiritual teachers in India,
is referred to as "Baba". The word "Baba" means
"father" in the Hindi language. Morissette opened
most of shows during the Junkie era with the song,
and it was featured as an opener during her 2002
tours. It has been seldomly played since then.
"Baba" opened Morissette's performance on the
television show MTV Unplugged in 1999, but it was
excluded from the CD release Alanis Unplugged.
Another live version of "Baba" was released on the
No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees
CD.
The first single from Supposed Former Infatuation
Junkie, "Thank U", was released to U.S. radio in
October 1998. It charted considerably high in
initial airplay because of the anticipation for
the album, but many critics and listeners who had
pigeonholed Morissette as an angry woman were
surprised by the song's calm and serene feel.
Released in November, the album debuted at number
one on the U.S. Billboard 200 with the highest
first-week sales for a female artist at the time,
selling 469,054 copies in its first seven days.
She held this record for two years, until being
outsold in first week sales by Britney Spears'
Oops!...I Did It Again which sold 1.3 million
copies in 2000. It held the number-one spot for an
additional week, before falling to eighth place in
what is generally a busy shopping period because
of the holiday season. Over the next few weeks
sales for the album slowly declined, and then
faltered drastically. After twenty-eight weeks,
the album had fallen off the Billboard 200, and as
of September 2008 it had sold 2.6 million copies
in the U.S.[1], less than a fifth in sales of that
of Jagged Little Pill.
Though not an official single release in the US,
"Joining You" became a modest hit on the Modern
Rock Tracks chart; it was released as the album's
second single in the UK and Europe. "Unsent", the
second US single, peaked outside the top forty on
the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The third single "So
Pure" made the top 40 in the UK as well as certain
airplay charts in the US, though not the Billboard
Hot 100. None of the singles revived significant
interest in the album.
"Thank U" received a Grammy Award nomination for
"Best Female Pop Vocal Performance", and "So Pure"
was nominated in the category of "Best Female Rock
Vocal Performance". The album itself won a Juno
Award for "Album of the Year".
In addition, Alanis decided to add "Can't Not" to
the album. "Can't Not" had been composed during
her tour for Jagged Little Pill. The lyrics had
been re-written and re-produced and added to
"Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie".
