Album:Such Pretty Forks in the Road Artist:Alanis Morissette Label:RCA Genre:RockLike most people, Alanis Morissette hasn’t had the 2020 she envisaged. Still, Morissette certainly has plenty to say on her ninth studio album. In general these are Morissette’s most honest songs to date, delivered with a confessional tone that seeps into uncomfortable territory at times. Ablaze is an emotional open letter to her children, laying her warts-and-all love on the table in a deeply affecting way. Perhaps galvanised by the truth-telling nature of these songs, Morissette’s one-of-a-kind voice has never sounded better; capable of raw tendernesss on the likes of Diagnosis, and gutsy blasts of voice-cracking emotion throughout.
