I Love Alanis.
Ever since “Ironic’ in 1996, I fell in love with that talented hippy chick from Ontario. We used to live in the same neighborhood in Toronto. We used to shop in the same grocery store; a very cool down to earth girl.With her new hit-started-as-spoof song, a remake of Black Eyed Peas’ “my humps”, Alanis Morissette has done it again, and is re-defining music yet another time.
Here’s how I see it:
Nowadays, a lot of the hit hip-hop, or techno songs, are remakes (remixes) of ballades from the 90s. In my modest (non-expert) opinion, the 90s weren’t the best decade in music history. Sure there were amazing breakthroughs, but I still think remixes are getting more popularity amongst crowds. Maybe because we heard them before, maybe because we get nostalgic, I don’t know; but I find it to be very true.
I think Alanis saw that, and is at it with a vengeance.
She took one of the “modern world’s” sexiest, most successful, most objectifying to women hip-hop hit, and turned it into one of her 90s ballades. She killed it, and brought it back to her era. Back when She ruled in popularity.
I think her parody remake of “my humps” is actually better than the original; although I honestly loved the Black Eyed Peas version. But I just find that Alanis’ is a better, more beautiful re-composition for the same words. (you can watch the video here).
Miss Morissette did the first step in taking new music and adapting it back to authenticity. I think many should follow. I think many will…
And that’s a new decade of music, a new era of creativity… an evolution.
