It's been almost two decades since Alanis Morissette first told us what's ironic and recommended "walking around naked" in our living rooms.
Yep, the 40-year-old Grammy-winning Canadian alternative rock singer is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her iconic third studio album, Jagged Little Pill, which was released in June 1995 and spurred top hits such as "You Oughta Know" (which may or not be about ex-boyfriend Dave Coulier), "You Learn," "Hand in My Pocket" and yes, the radio favorite, "Ironic."
On Wednesday, Morissette performed several songs from the album at the 2015 ELLE Women In Music Celebration, presented by eBay, at Boulevard3 in Los Angeles and shared with E! News her thoughts about the music industry today and new artists she finds "exciting."
"I think there's a zeitgeist fame wildness that's going on right now that was really different 20 years ago," she said. "But I think in terms of the artists that are exciting to me are the ones not chasing fame; they're chasing their own expression and fame is a lovely...aspect of it."
"When I brought 'You Oughta Know' to radio stations I was told, 'We already have Tori Amos and Sinead O'Connor,' Morissette told a packed house at Boulevard3, according to ELLE.com. "Now you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a woman in music."
Morissette announced in 2013 that Jagged Little Pill will be adapted into a Broadway musical. The show is still in the works and its composer is Tom Kitt, who worked on Green Day's hit American Idiot production, Billboard reported in March.
"We're just in the beginning phases of it so I can barely share anything about it because we haven't created it yet," Morissette told the outlet, "but the story is going to be fictionalized and then at some point down the next 10 years, I can envision myself creating a one-person show where I can really get into the subtleties and the stories, but for this particular musical it will be a fictionalized story and we'll add songs and change lyrics."
Morissette attended the 2015 ELLE Women In Music Celebration with husband and rapper Mario "MC Souleye" Treadway. The pair, parents to 4-year-old son Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway, will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary on Friday.
Morissette, whose most recent album was the 2012 record Havoc and Bright Lights, is keeping busy nowadays. She told E! News she's currently writing a book and working on new music. She also plans to go on tour.
"You know, making sure I'm an artist, first and foremost," she said.
Also, between Aug. 30 and Sept. 4, Morissette and friends will host a wellness workshop in Big Sur, California titled "Hurtling Toward Wholeness," presented by the Esalen Institute and Esalen Center for Theory & Research, in which guests will be invited to "explore, define, express and deepen" their connections with "self, spirit and other."
