Jade Bird

Canadian singer-songwriter Jade Bird first took the jagged little pill as a kid -- yes, that Jagged Little Pill. It might have tasted bitter at the time, but ever since, her admiration for Alanis Morissette and her groundbreaking album has only grown. Listen to her chat about the Morissette and her seminal 1995 record on this episode of The Spark Parade.

While Bird's first introduction to Jagged Little Pill was as a child, it wasn't until she began to embark on her own creative journey that the record's power truly revealed itself. The more she listened, the more she was in awe of the album's energetic songwriting, feminist themes, and confessional lyrics.
