Although it wasn't immediately apparent, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie found Alanis Morissette floundering in her success, albeit ever so slightly. Like most arty collegiate types, she reacted to massive success with an instinct to experiment, and since she had sold so many records, she and producer/collaborator Glen Ballard were given free range to do pretty much whatever they wanted, resulting in a muted, fitfully intriguing album that had the feel of a sophomore slump even if it was her fourth record (but who counts those first two records as part of her discography, anyway?)…
Often, artists embrace MTV Unplugged as an opportunity to stroll through their back catalog. Not Alanis Morissette.

It's easy to see why Morissette is so intent on selling these songs. Although their meaning may be elusive at times, they're extremely personal songs, which benefit from the stripped-down arrangements and intimate surroundings…

Alanis Morissette – The Singles Box, commonly abbreviated as just The Singles Box, is an Alanis Morissette box set that includes five of her six singles from 1995's Jagged Little Pill: "Ironic", Hand in My Pocket, Head over Feet, You Learn and "You Oughta Know", as well as live tracks and alternate versions of JLP tracks spread across five maxi CDs…
