Alanis Morisette - "Uninvited"

With fans clamoring for something new from Alanis Morisette following the success of 1995's Jagged Little Pill, fans received something new in 1998.  "Uninvited" was Alanis' contribution to The City of Angels Soundtrack.  With the song's angst, it picked up where Jagged Little Pill left off and stoked the flames for Alanis' sophomore album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, (that dropped later in 1998).  While critics praised the album, it disappointed commercially.  The album produced just two moderate hits as compared to five from Jagged Little Pill.

Alanis Morissette - "Thank U"

After the huge success of Jagged Little Pill, the world anxiously waited for Alanis Morissette to release a new album.  The wait ended in 1998 when Alanis released Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie.  Those expecting another album filled with anger and grit were severely disappointed.  "Thank U", the album's first single, was a mid-tempo song that no one could quite figure out ("Thank you India..." huh?).  In fact, the video was more memorable than "Thank U" but only because it featured a naked Alanis in various public locations).  If anything, Alanis was well ahead of her time in coming up with an expression found in text messages all over the world: "thank u".
