Twenty-five years ago, Alanis Morissette became an overnight superstar because she was jilted and angry and she thought the world ought to know. Now that she’s older, she seems to have reconciled some of her demons but the embers of her angst have been replaced with generalized anxiety and depression on Such Pretty Forks in the Road, which is her first record in eight years and ninth overall. If Such Pretty Forks is to be taken as autobiography, she’s now a middle-aged mother who suffers insomnia, recognizes her addictions, trips out on acid occasionally, and, after surviving some sort of nervous breakdown, has a firm grip on irony. Her lyrics are still sharp, and there’s plenty of drama and tension throughout, but unfortunately her cris de coeur don’t translate to catchy, cutting songs.

Ballard also oversaw mixing and mastering for this collectors edition.

Singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette became one of the most unlikely stars of the 1990s on the strength of her third album, Jagged Little Pill. A former child actress turned dance-pop diva, Morissette transformed herself into a confessional alternative singer/songwriter in the vein of Liz Phair and Tori Amos. However, she bolstered that formula with enough pop sensibility, slight hip-hop flourishes, and marketing savvy to become a superstar. Jagged Little Pill, released in 1995, spun off six highly successful singles and earned Morissette several Grammy Awards the following year, including Album of the Year.

On the strength of the angst-ridden single “You Oughta Know,” Jagged Little Pill gained attention upon its release in the summer of 1995. The song soon received heavy airplay from alternative radio outlets and MTV, sending the album into the Top Ten and helping it achieve multi-platinum status. Jagged Little Pill’s subsequent singles — “Hand in My Pocket,” “All I Really Want,” “You Learn,” and “Ironic” — kept the album in the Top Ten for an astounding 69 weeks, and Morissette was nominated for six Grammys in early 1996.

The album received give Grammy awards including: Best Rock Album, Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, Best Rock Song and Album of the Year.

On Friday, the second album of the globally influential and successful producer and artist from Norway will be released.

But it will also be 15 songs strong for that! The Scandinavian, born in 1997, reveals by e-mail: “It’s been three years since I recorded my debut album ‘different World’, and I’ve had a lot of time since then to work on new music and to develop the Walker Cinematic Universe. I am happy to finally release my new album ‘World of Walker’. I especially like the new artwork, which consists of thousands of selfies of ‘hikers’ from all over the world. It is high time to die to unveil “World of Walker”, a community we have created together.“

His music, inspired by deep house, classical music and Eurodance, with or without vocals, convinces again with a great dash of melancholy and not too fast, yet extremely driving beats. “Sing Me to Sleep”, “All Falls Down”, “Diamond Heart”, “End of Time” and also “Faded” are just some of his top 10 hits. On November 26, the musical journey continues.

Whilst “the next young generation of British jazz” has been applied many times to London’s current jazz scene, this headline from Melody Maker was in fact used to describe Alan Wakeman and his band back in 1970. The young alto saxophonist, influenced by Charles Mingus and mentored by Mike Westbrook, was composing singular, large ensemble pieces at a time when jazz had long left the limelight and rock was in the foreground.

The lute often conjures images of medieval bards and travelling troubadours, but the instrument’s repertoire extends long beyond the Dark Ages. On Sylvius Leopold Weiss, guitarist and lutist Alan Rinehart pays tribute to the composer’s legacy of the high Baroque, bringing to light a collection of works that were overshadowed by the keyboard works of his contemporaries. The album exemplifies the genre’s complexity, with travelling basslines, intricate melodies, and pleasant harmony. As Rinehart’s fingers explore the frets, they bring to life the quintessential beauty and liveliness of Baroque’s climactic period and shine light on Weiss’s oft-overlooked repertoire.

Dreams Laid Down brings to life the works of several acclaimed composers, evoking a tender, reflective atmosphere. Inspired by sources from the Beatles to the poetry of Rinehart’s wife, the album creates an intimate aural experience that is as personal to the listener as it is to the artist himself. The title track, composed by Michael Karmon, is named after a book of poems by Rinehart’s wife Janice Notland. Karmon animated six of her poems with thoughtful, evocative compositions. Contrast this with composer John Oliver’s Ancient Heroes Suite. Oliver, inspired by ancient music conventions, worked with dance-oriented rhythms in experimental time signatures that recall melodies resonating through ancient halls, while filtering them through a modern context.
