Flavors of Entanglement Totally Explained

Everything about Flavors Of Entanglement totally explained

Flavors of Entanglement She said of "Not as We", "You know how you can resist hitting rock bottom for a long time? That song just goes 'ok, I'm going. All the way down'". She has described the album as "a combination of everything" in which she's a musical interest, including hip hop beats and organic instruments. According to Billboard magazine, the album "balances world- and folk-influenced tracks against the experimental pop leanings of producer Guy Sigsworth". She mentioned her intentions for the sound of the album in a December 2005 interview to promote, saying she "would love to fuse the technological sonic landscapes with the more organic ones". In January 2006, Rolling Stone wrote that Morissette was in between "intense" writing sessions for her upcoming studio album, for which she'd enlisted multiple collaborators, including Mike Elizondo, who produced her song "Wunderkind" for the soundtrack of the 2005 film . Morissette described herself as "teeming with ideas" because she hadn't written an album in three years (her previous studio album, So-Called Chaos, was released in 2004); she said "I have more than enough thoughts to congeal together."
   In October 2006, Morissette said in an interview with TV Guide that she was going to enter the studio and start writing new material over the next few weeks, saying "at the present, I've seven journals full. I've a lot within me ready to burst out." Morissette released a cover of The Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" in April 2007, and the high quality of the recording led to speculation among fans that she was in the studio working on an album. She performed at a gig for The Nightwatchman, a.k.a. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles on April 24. There, she said that she and producer Guy Sigsworth had been "sequestered" in London and Los Angeles during the previous few months writing "a bevy of new songs". Accompanied by Sigsworth on piano, Morissette played a new song, "Not as We". Later, the song appeared in the third episode of the fourth season of the television series House, "97 Seconds", which was first aired on October 9.
   In August, Sigsworth said in an interview with arbiter.co.uk that twenty-five songs were written for the album, thirteen had been recorded, and eight more were being recorded after Morissette requested B-sides and "exclusives". Sigsworth described Morissette as "a dream to work with" and "totally into my sound world." In the same interview, guitarist and programmer Andy Page said that at one point, they were working on twelve of the tracks simultaneously, and that one contains "moshing distorted guitars" and a "'wall-of-noise'" created using Guitar Rig. Page also said that he'd used the graphical modular software music studio Reaktor on the album, saying of it that "I prefer using its granulators and weirder signal processors to its synths. Some of its physically modeled stuff is very cool, and there are some cool wavetable synths."
   A video for another new song, "Underneath", was premiered on September 15 in Los Angeles, as part of the Elevate Film Festival. The purpose of the festival was to create documentaries, music videos, narratives and shorts regarding subjects to raise the level of human consciousness on the earth. Morissette submitted the song, and then (as with the other fourteen videos) had the music video written, directed, shot and edited in two days.
   In a review of the album published on the blog website www.arjanwrites.com in December 2007, Rob Diament of the band Temposhark wrote that "Flavors of Entanglement is without a doubt a career highlight", and that "In the same way that Madonna's Ray of Light with William Orbit delivered us a new perspective of Madonna, Guy's and Alanis' meeting of minds has produced a fresh, classy, gutsy and uplifting masterpiece that will stand the test of time."
