Alanis Morissette rose to worldwide fame on the back of what is still considered to be one of the greatest angst rock albums ever recorded.
JAGGED LITTLE PILL proved to be an unlikely commercial mega-hit in 1995, her raw and emotional vocals hit the spot with a massive female audience who took to her unpretentious and powerful anti-men lyrical sentiments.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of the
angst rock genre, hearing peeved off chicks letting rip about how bad the men in their life have been to them is not exactly an ear pleasing experience if you ask me.
But in 1998, Alanis recorded this song off the CITY OF ANGELS soundtrack by the name UNINVITED. A truly adorable and sweeping rock epic with a Kashmir like orchestral
accompaniment, the song proved only too
well that Alanis Morissette could really sing
and not just whine and rasp about the rotten
men she had dealt with, it was very hard to
believe this was the women who delivered
JAGGED LITTLE PILL to the world.

There are a couple of live versions of this song on the internet, in this instance I think the studio one rules. Alanis dropped off the radar almost as quickly as the movie did after this movie soundtrack was released, over a decade later it remains to be seen if she makes a big comeback.
