From Loudersound.
Alanis Morissette is to release an album of music composed as an aid to meditation. The Storm Before The Calm will be released on June 17, and will guide fans, yogis and yoginis through 11 different meditations. The album was co-written with Dave Harrington from electronic music duo Darkside.
“Meditating rests my interior,” explains Morissette, “to the point where I can have access to ideas and visions and inspirations – I can hear my own capital-S Self. Music, for me, is like a portal in a way, an invitation into a state of being that I’m not normally in. Making the record kept me super connected and accountable during Covid, when I felt like I was just going to disappear and float away.”
Morissette has already released the first track from the album, the 11-minute Safety – Empath In Paradise, which can hear below, but be warned: it’s extremely relaxing, with gentle washes of synthesiser ushering in a muted rhythmic drumbeat, before Morissette’s vocal arrives and the track gets very ethereal. One might even describe it as celestial. Either way, it’s all very calming. So job done, we reckon.
As well as being made available on streaming platforms, The Storm Before The Calm will also be released via the popular mental health app Calm, which is available for Android and iPhone.
Next month Morissette kicks off a tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of her 33-million selling album Jagged Little Pill. Support on the North American leg of the tour comes from Garbage. Full dates below.
