- Alanis Morissette - Alanis Morissette Alanis Morissette Info With over 40 million albums sold worldwide, ALANIS’ universal appeal has led to a unique connection with fans and extensive overseas touring. During her precedent-setting summer 2000 trek through the Middle East and Eastern Europe, ALANIS documented visits and performances in 15 countries (including Lebanon, Croatia and Turkey) over the Internet. In most regions, a young ambassador escorted ALANIS beyond the usual tourist attractions to see historical, cultural and political sites while sharing native customs and beliefs. ALANIS wrapped up the tour with a special acoustic performance and question-and-answer session at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, which is dedicated to teaching youth the importance of accepting diversity and sharing cultures. Earlier that same year, ALANIS performed in Rome for Pope John Paul II and 300,000 youth at The Great Jubilee Concert For A Debt-Free World (to bring attention to the world’s poorest nations and the need for social justice). ALANIS’ worldwide travels also brought her to Cuba in 1998 on a cultural exchange journey whereby North American artists had the chance to meet the people, including students, of that country. ALANIS recently expressed her hope for a better world when she shared her song "Utopia" (written in early January 2001)--from Under Rug Swept--on her website in the wake of the September 11 attacks. In her own words, ALANIS "just wanted to share as much comfort as I possibly could through the context of music." Entertainment Weekly’s Beth Johnson described "Utopia," noting: "Atop a gentle mandolin, calming strings, and angelic harmonies, she softly croons her wish list for a perfect world, a place ‘without guilt, without fear…with room for every emotion.’" |
