Serving as her newest sherpa guide is British electronica producer Guy Sigsworth (Bj�rk, Imogen Heap), who co-wrote and produced the album with Morissette. Nearly two dozen songs were born from writing sessions in London and Los Angeles, a baker's dozen selected for the final cut of Flavors of Entanglement. While hewing to a familiar process -- creating songs as snapshots of her life -- Morissette found cathartic support during a big transition in her life. "I often write in retrospect, but this time all was written in real time," she says. "This record helped me through some fragile moments. Every song was like a life raft."
Her penchant for eclecticism, whether musical, spiritual or otherwise, brought new sounds and styles into this latest effort, her first original studio album in four years. Eastern percussion and strings blend with electronic hues in the opening track, "Citizen of the Planet," a poetic narrative of her life story and transnational perspective. Morissette's yin/yang view of the microcosmic self being evidenced in the macrocosmic world extends to lead single "Underneath," which reflects Mahatma Gandhi's notion that "You must be the change you want to see in the world." - Does it work? Listen to "Underneath" to decide
