Alanis Morissette's 8th album, 'Havoc and Bright Lights', released in August

[Shaun]

Alanis Morissette has announced that she will release a new album titled 'Havoc And Bright Lights' in August.

The singer, who released her most recent studio album 'Flavors Of Entanglement' in 2008, will put out her new album on August 27. The 12-track record is the eighth studio album of her career.

The album will be preceded by a single 'Guardian', which is the record's opening track. 'Guardian' will be given its radio debut on May 11 and will be released as a single four days later.

Speaking about the album, the Canadian singer said: "This record, as always, is a snapshot of what I currently obsess about, care about, and what strikes me at 4 in the morning in my most introspective moments. It is my emotional, psychological, social and philosophical commentary through song."

Morissette will tour in support of her new album in the UK next month. The dates begin at O2 Academy Birmingham on June 25, before moving on Manchester's O2 Apollo on June 26 and finally London's O2 Academy Brixton on June 27.

The tracklisting for 'Havoc And Bright Lights' is as follows:

'Guardian'
'Woman Down'
'Til You'
'Celebrity'
'Empathy'
'Lens'
'Spiral'
'Numb'
'Havoc''
'Win And Win'
'Receive'
'Edge Of Evolution'

idk if there're any fans on here tho

I wonder if there'll be a deluxe edition like FoE, some of those bonus tracks were amazing. I'm excited for this, very excited. August is good because I still have enough time to enjoy her massive discography that I only got into in December :joker:

Apparently, "Spiral" and "Guardian" were performed at Guitar Center sessions. Nearly every tune has a monster chorus – from the ballad "Havoc" to "Celebrity," a scathing takedown of America's obsession with fame: "I am a tattooed sexy dancing monkey," Morissette sings. "Yes, it was inspired by specific people," she says. "But I'll never talk about that, 'cause it's just rude."

Has anybody heard this track that was released last week apparently as part of Starbucks’ "Every Mother Counts Volume 2" Mother’s Day compilation in support of Christy Turlington's charity? This song is produced with Guy Sigsworth as a part of the new album sessions, although it will not appear on the new album.

I heard about it but I never listened. Going to listen now. I downloaded a lot of her non-album tracks recently.

I downloaded a lot of her non-album tracks recently.

How were they?

[Doogle]

How were they?

Some of them are brilliant; it's a wonder they never made one of her albums. There were a few B-Sides I downloaded that haven't really grown on me yet but I love finding any new material from her.

-reminds everybody of how i did not like under rug swept for the 347th time-

[Doogle]

It wasn't her best but So Unsexy is amazing (although the Vancouver Sessions version was better).

Have you heard So-Called Chaos or Flavours of Entanglement yet? (you might want to skip S-CC)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

im gonna try URS again :suspect:

[Doogle]

I think it starts really strong and then just dips in the middle and sorta picks up again at the end but it never really left a big impression on me.

Alanis Morissette — or is that Fiona Apple? — looks totally at peace on the cover of her eighth studio album, Havoc And Bright Lights, out August 28. The 38-year-old singer-songwriter wrote the 12-track LP in the months following the birth of her son Ever Imre, and many of the themes on the disc touch on intimate subjects like motherhood and spirituality.

The singer sat down with Rolling Stone to discuss her new album, though she does dip into some some other areas, like her bond with other entertainers who hit it big in the 90s. “I have a unique perspective that perhaps people like Eminem and Leonardo DiCaprio share,” she says. “There are certain people who are in my generation who were in the hot kitchen the same time as me, and whether I know them or not is incidental. I just feel we have this wink with each other. There’s a kinship because we were in a similar era in the hot kitchen.”

I'm a huge ALanis fan, but i'm not looking forward to this album. it seems like self indulgent crap and very half hearted. The first song i heard from it sounded AWFUL.

I read an interview were she even admitted that her heart wasn't in it, that she was basically just focused on her child and the music was secondary.

I hope i'm wrong.
