You should know that I love few artists unconditionally. Everything they do is brilliant, and I'm always looking forward to what will come next. One of those artists is Alanis Morissette, and recently, I've gotten back into some of her more recent work, and off of Flavours of Entanglement comes "Torch." You all remember when Alanis was shacked up with Ryan Reynolds, right? "Torch" is what she wrote after the breakup, and listening to it, you understand that there is both pain and growth. Even though this album had a newer sound for Alanis, "Torch" reminds me of the good o' Under Rug Swept. It's slow and it's sincere, and it pulses with true heartbreak. There's hope behind the words as well, and that's what gives "Torch" its punch. Things are bad, but they will be better. Alanis, you've done it again.
