Alanis

I know a lot of people cringe just at the sound of her name (or her voice or both). But I will always be a huge Alanis fan mainly for her songwriting. She is fearless in confronting her self-doubt and insecurity and what a struggle the process is. Her lyrics constantly echo what I feel about myself and the world. Yet the style is very pop, there's usually a good hook, so they're fun to sing!

This video has her explain a bit about the song she sings, which is my favorite in the new album. Her feeling of constantly running to reach a "finish line" where she will feel complete, not being able to enjoy the present. I am so there.
