Alanis Morissette – Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie / 2LP Mobile Fidelity

On “Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie”, Alanis Morissette rejects all conventions. While most artists release an album after their breakthrough that is strongly oriented toward the musical approach that made them famous,

the idiosyncratic singer-songwriter remained true to herself and drew inspiration from a trip to India before beginning recording. As much as her previous album, “Jagged Little Pill”, had made her world famous, “Supposed Former

Infatuation Junkie” confirmed her role as an important voice of her generation—and proved that her blockbuster success was no accident. Released in 1998, the album set a record for the best-selling LP by a female artist in its first

week and remains a pop-rock classic to this day.

“Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie” is characterized by balance, sophistication, and diversity, showing Morissette at her core as she pauses, takes a deep breath and learns to navigate her life in a healthy way after going through

one of the most exhausting and fast-paced phases a musician can experience. It is the acoustic equivalent of a spiritual awakening, a call for improvement, a courageous assessment of the self. The songs are brimming with gratitude,

compassion, love, and empathy – emotions that are reflected in the predominantly gentle, contoured sounds and oriental-tinged melodies of the songs. These feelings and the singer's exploration of concepts such as divinity and acceptance

not only form the basis for “Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie”. They also reflect the personal maturity she has gained through her exploration of Buddhist culture in India and her attitude toward reconciliation, peace, and sensuality—values

that played hardly any role in late '90s pop music. Like many albums that were ahead of their time, “Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie” gained new appreciation with age, despite the critical and commercial acclaim it received upon its release.

The album now serves as a visionary beacon: a work that will never go out of style!

Lovingly mastered from the original tapes at MoFi's California studio and pressed on 180-gram vinyl (33 RPM) by Fidelity Record Pressing, this double LP, limited to 3,000 numbered copies, presents the triple platinum album in audiophile quality for

the first time -with greater detail and transparency, sharper focus and broader dynamics than previous versions. David Campbell's string arrangements now come into their own as orchestrations should. The same goes for the synthesizer-based architecture

that was shaped by producer and Morissette's most important collaborator, Glen Ballard. An absolute must-have!
