Alanis Morissette Delivers the Equivalent of a Spiritual Awakening on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie: Introspective Themes and Compassionate Emotions on Eastern-Tinged Album Have Only Grown More Relevant

1998 Smash Plays with Enhanced Detail, Rich Textures, and Sharp Focus on Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD: Collector's Version Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies

Alanis Morissette refuses to adhere to convention on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. While most artists follow their breakthrough with an album that closely parallels the approaches that helped make them famous, the singer-songwriter stayed true to herself. As much as the preceding Jagged Little Pill put her on the global radar, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie confirmed her role as a generational voice. Notable for its balance, sophistication, and richness, the 1998 smash finds Morissette pausing, taking a breath, and learning how to navigate life in a healthy manner after enduring one of the most exhausting stretches any musician ever experienced. It's the sonic equivalent of a spiritual awakening, a call to betterment, a brave assessment of the self and humanity as a whole.

Sourced from the original master tapes and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD presents the triple-platinum LP in audiophile sound. Benefitting from an enhanced coherence and clarity that befit the album's nearly 72-minute length, this reissue plays with richer detail, sharper focus, and broader dynamics than prior versions. Those traits are key given Morissette's use of more atmospheric soundscapes, not to mention her evolution into a more nuanced singer. Similarly, the scale and reach of David Campbell's string arrangements come across as orchestrations should. Ditto the synth-based architecture shaped by producer Glen Ballard. All in all, this collectible edition simply delivers more information via transparent means.
