Reformulated ‘Pill’ due from Morissette

Share

What do you do to mark the 10th anniversary of the all-time biggest-selling debut album by a female solo artist? If you’re Alanis Morissette, you do it again.

The singer-songwriter will celebrate the 1995 release of “Jagged Little Pill” by recording an acoustic version of the record, which made the then-21-year-old artist a pop sensation with such emotionally candid hits as “You Oughta Know” and “Ironic.” The album has sold 14 million copies in the U.S. and brought Morissette four Grammy awards, including album of the year.

For the project, Morissette will reunite with the album’s producer, Glen Ballard, for the first time since 1998’s “Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie,” and she and her band will hit the road for an acoustic concert tour of North America in June and July.

The acoustic “Pill” will be released on June 13, 10 years to the day after the original, and will be sold exclusively in Starbucks stores in North America for the first six weeks before becoming available in other retail outlets.
