She’s here to remind you: Alanis Morissette’s ’90s cultural touchstone Jagged Little Pill is heading to Broadway. The new musical, inspired by the themes of Morissette’s album of the same title but with an original story by Juno writer Diablo Cody, is set to open in the fall. Diane Paulus (Waitress) will direct.
The musical — with songs from the catalog of Morissette, who does not appear onstage — premiered in a sold-out engagement last summer at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Ma. Casting for the Broadway production was not announced, nor was a theater or premiere date.
The Broadway staging was announced today by producers Vivek J. Tiwary, Arvind Ethan David and Eva Price.
In addition to Cody and Paulus, the creative team will include music by Morissette and Glen Ballard, with lyrics by Morissette. Movement direction and choreography is by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (the choreographer behind...

Surprise! Alanis Morissette is expecting her second child with her husband, rapper Mario "Souleye" Treadway. Married since 2010, Morissette, 41, and Treadway, 35, are already parents to son Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway, 5. The singer-songwriter did something extra special to break her pregnancy news to Treadway by recording a song with Guy Sigsworth "on the sly" before her son's birth in 2010. Once the song was completed, Brendan Huza animated a music video that she said "helped tell our story in moving pictures, bringing us up to this sweet moment."

Alison Moyet, "The Minutes" (Cooking Vinyl/Metropolis Records)
Alison Moyet is not trying to impress you. True to her punk roots, the English artist didn't make "The Minutes," her first studio album since 2007, to please anyone. And, by doing so, she has created a remarkable collection that takes her rich contralto to new edges.
Moyet, the iconic voice in the 1980s synth-pop duo Yazoo (aka Yaz), revives her electronic roots here, merging with an experimental blend of synth sounds that express modernity, technology and introspection. Producer Guy Sigsworth has built brilliant moments into the album's fabric, demanding listeners be armed with good headphones.
Moyet's voice is at its most complex and her lyrics are darkly poetic, in perfect defiance of commercial conventions. As she proclaims on "Right as Rain," an ubercool club piece, "If you can't be happy with me, be unhappy with me, stay unhappy with me."...

Alison Moyet is back after six years with her album 'the minutes'.
Despite selling more than 20 million singles in a 30-year career, Alison Moyet has always successfully resisted being any kind of pop puppet, so we can believe her when she describes this as her "happiest studio experience".
Huffington Post UK is pleased to host the exclusive stream of 'the minutes' - Listen Above.
Alison Moyet is back, sounding as distinctive as ever
‘the minutes’ was produced by Guy Sigsworth, known for his work with Madonna, Goldie, Robyn and Madonna, and gives proper foundation for Alison Moyet's unique, powerful, low voice.
“I avoided listening to anything during the process of writing and recording this album, choosing instead to be lead by my own melodic voice, the one I now find myself with 30-years-in”, says Alison. “Guy Sigsworth returns me to a programmer's world and marries it with perfect musicality.

While Alanis Morissette may or may not be one of the new "American Idol" judges (she remains a name on the ever-growing shortlist), you can get your fill of the rocker and sometime-actress on her new album, "Havoc and Bright Lights," out now.
She tells MTV News that most of her new material was inspired by her husband and her young son. Expect a lot of tunes about motherhood and marriage. "The form [of the album] is the motherhood, but the essence of it really is a deepening of intimacy and a deepening of commitment, and therefore there being a lot of healing," she says. "I'm healing a lot of wounds from my childhood, and so is my husband."
Although Morissette says her pregnancy really made it difficult to find time to write new songs, although she was feeling very inspired. "I was dying to write this record. I find there are ebbs...

Despite living a life in the public eye ever since “Jagged Little Pill” shot her into the limelight 17 years ago, Alanis Morissette has admirably kept her wounds open for all to see, as well as shared her joys. She seems amazingly aware of every emotion that flickers though her as fleeting as it may be and has no trepidation or judgment of them, only observation. She has plenty of joy and pain to share on the musically diverse “Havoc And Bright Lights,” produced by Guy Sigsworth and Joe Chiccarelli, and out Aug. 28. Since her last album, 2008’s “Flavors of...

Alanis Morissette will release her first album in four years, “Havoc And Bright Lights” on Aug. 28. First single, “Guardian,” goes to radio on May 11 and will be on sale at iTunes on May 15. It’s been a while since Morissette’s radio heyday and she’s married and had a baby since her last set, 2008’s “Flavors of Entanglement,” so it will be interesting to hear what’s on her mind. That album peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. Morissette worked with Guy Sigsworth on the set, who has also produced such artists as Madonna and Britney Spears. "This record,...

Former keeper of Ryan Reynold’s affection, pop-rock singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, is preparing to release a new studio album, her first since ‘08’s Flavors of Entanglement (which was inspired by her and Reynolds calling off their engagement).
Morissette’s newest effort will be her first release not on Warner Music Group with Collective Sounds releasing her seventh disc, Havoc and Bright Lights on August 28.
The "Ironic" singer seems to be taking a different (perhaps more current and commercial) direction with her latest release, teaming with UK producer Guy Sigsworth, an eclectic producer who has worked with Bjork, Madonna and helped start Seal’s career, and Joe Chiccarelli, who skews rock having helmed works for Young the Giant, The Strokes and Jazon Mraz, for the album.
We will have to wait until May 15 before the album’s first single, “Guardian,” becomes available on iTunes store (and four days later on radio). However,...

Australian singer/songwriter Lenka, whose songs have been featured in popular television series like "Grey's Anatomy," Ugly Betty" and "90210" is returning with her second album, "Two."
The singer's sophomore album comes nearly two years after her self-titled debut became a Billboard success, with hits like "The Show" and "Trouble Is A Friend." In 2008 VH1 named her a "You Oughta Know" artist and Spin magazine marveled at her "cashmere soft voice."
For her newest album, the actress-turned-singer headed back into the studio and worked with a power team of music producers, including David Kosten, Guy Sigsworth and Francis Anthony "Eg" White, who has worked with other beauties like Adele, Pink and Kylie Minogue.
The new album is distinctly more electronic than her last, from her dance-friendly "Two" to the infectious lead single "Heart Skips a Beat," which Sigsworth produced. The well-known producer has worked with a long list of music powerhouses like Madonna,...

Goulding told Q magazine: "Last year I worked with her before I signed my record deal because [producer] Guy Sigsworth is a friend of mine. "He was like, 'Yeah I'm working with that X Factor girl Diana Vickers, do you wanna come down?'. So I said, 'Yeah, why not?'. I unexpectedly wrote some songs for her album."
