Straying from the original, this cover nevertheless adds its own story on top of Morissette’s. Despite less overall edge than the original, there are times where the requisite angst peeks out in lines like “I’m here, but I’m really gone” and “I’m green, but I’m wise.” Just Her & Kieran Fowkes – Hand In My Pocket (Alanis Morissette cover) The deeper tune of the verses interweave with the lighter choruses. The guitar opening is personalized, a riff inspired by the original but unique to Velloso’s version. Velloso’s vocals start strong, but come off less biting than Morissette at first. We get another acoustic cover from Belô Velloso, a Brazilian artist. Belô Velloso – Hand In My Pocket (Alanis Morissette cover) The acoustic guitar adds to this homely sound, and the bandmates’ background harmonies support and augment lead singer Dan Reynolds’s voice. Great choice! The essential beat of this song is played as if it was being tapped out on a box, and I love that rustic feel. When Imagine Dragons stripped down three of their big hits for an acoustic session, they added this cover to close out the studio session. Imagine Dragons – Hand In My Pocket (Alanis Morissette cover) And to all of you musicians out there, keep the Alanis covers coming! I dream of a Full Albums post for Jagged Little Pill. These five artists appreciate the song’s depth, paying their homage via a cover. “Hand In My Pocket,” the second single off of the album, followed another classic, “You Oughta Know.” It was Morissette’s first number one single in Canada, but it did not make the Hot 100 in the USA (it was never released as a CD single there, though it posted high on other US charts). Hit me up, Pitchfork Editorial Staff, I’m happy to do it. The album hasn’t yet been featured on Pitchfork’s Sunday Reviews, but it is destined to be. One was like being at a protest, and the other is like being in therapy - different impulses, but both about making conscious changes. The riot grrrl ethos was “girls to the front” - a communal taking up space - while Morissette’s was more like “girls to your car,” where you could process your baggage in private. Not bad!Ī New York Times Magazine feature by Rachel Syme sets the scene for the release of the album: Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road, Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A., and Nirvana’s Nevermind. Here are just a few albums that Jagged Little Pill has sold more copies than: The Beatles’s Sgt. That album, her international debut, won five Grammys and made Morissette the first Canadian to have an album go double diamond (selling 20 million copies). Alanis Morissette is back to remind us that “everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine” with a (super relatable) new single, the promise of a new album in May, a new tour featuring guests Garbage and Liz Phair (“all I really want” is a ticket to that show), and the debut of the Broadway musical based on her iconic album, Jagged Little Pill. As 2020 gets off to a rocky start, if you “haven’t got it all figured out just yet,” that is okay.
