In 1990, Morissette signed with MCA Records Canada and released her full-length debut album, Alanis in 1991 with producer Leslie Howe.
Morissette improvised the lyrics on the spot, while Ballard played guitar.
The album attempted to move away from her debut album's dance-pop sound and featured the single "An Emotion Away." However, the album sold less than half the number of copies that her debut album did, and, with her two-album deal with MCA Canada complete, she was without a major label contract.

 AskMen.com - Alanis Morissette
Alanis Morissette is known for her multi-platinum, record-breaking album, Jagged Little Pill, and her angst-ridden songs of anger, heartbreak and eventual triumph.
Raised in Ottawa, Canada, Alanis got her start as a pop diva in the Canadian music industry, an industry that has seen fellow natives Shania Twain and Celine Dion also rise to international success.
The success of her debut US album Jagged Little Pill was unprecedented by a female artist, and though men will usually cringe at the lyrics of her songs, we take it all in stride and use Alanis' music as an insight into what women feel when they are hurt.

When Alanis Morissette released her breakthrough album in 1995, "Jagged Little Pill," practically the whole world stopped and watched this angst-ridden vixen whine to us.

 Tom Hoopes on Alanis Morissette on National Review Online
On the first album, Alanis had a way of deepening the clichéd gripes of her generation.
In song after stream-of-consciousness song, Alanis stumbles around in her own brain running into people who aren't supposed to be there anymore.
But then the song has almost no sense of humor and reveals Alanis to be a woman with impossibly high expectations and extremely bad syntax.
