Alanis

Alanis is the debut studio album by Alanis Morissette, released only in Canada on April 17, 1991, by MCA Records Canada. Morissette recorded the album with Leslie Howe, who also produced her second album Now Is the Time (1992), and it was certified platinum.

Time magazine said the album "brought [Morissette] modest renown ... (one presumes) among people [in Canada] who don't read lyric sheets", while Rolling Stone described it as "vaguely Madonna-esque dance-pop" and "fairly generic".The Kansas City Star labelled it "a faux Janet Jackson album", and Spin magazine wrote, "It's as if her high school yearbook picture came to life and made an album designed to haunt her forever.
