Album: Alanis Morisette, Havoc and Bright Lights (Sony)
Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Morissette is the sort of woman who does yoga to ensure she can still gaze at her navel.
Four years after her last album, she's back with self-obsessed lines like "I am seduced by my own wilfulness". Lead single "Guardian" is American Idol fodder, setting the tone for more tedious MOR. On "Woman Down" she asks a misogynist, "Why must you vilify us?" Don't hide behind your sisters, Alanis. No one's vilifying women. We're vilifying you.
