While most artists follow-up their breakthrough with an album that closely parallels the approaches that helped make them famous, the maverick singer-songwriter stayed true to herself and drew inspiration from travel to India before she began the recording sessions.

Benefitting from defined grooves that befit the album's nearly 72-minute length, this pressing plays with enhanced detail, refined clarity, sharper focus, and broader dynamics than prior versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose traits are key given Morissette's use of more textured and atmospheric soundscapes, not to mention her evolution into a more nuanced and controlled singer. Similarly, the scale and reach of David Campbell's string arrangements come across as orchestrations should. Ditto the synth-based architecture shaped by producer and principal Morissette collaborator Glen Ballard. All in all, Mobile Fidelity's collectible edition simply delivers more information via transparent means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotable for its balance, sophistication, and richness,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eat heart finds Morissette pausing, taking a breath, and learning how to navigate life in a healthy manner after enduring one of the most exhausting and rocket-to-fame stretches any musician ever experienced. It's the sonic equivalent of a spiritual awakening, a call to betterment, a brave assessment of the self and humanity as a whole. As such, the tunes on her second international (and fourth Canadian) release teem with gratitude, compassion, love, empathy — emotions that lend themselves to the largely mellow, contoured scope and Eastern-tinged melodies of the songs themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you,\" Morissette sings on the lead single \"Thank U.\" \"How 'bout grieving it all one at a time.\" Those sentiments, and the vocalist's embrace of concepts such as divinity and acceptance, not only provide a foundation on which\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erests. They also reflect the personal maturation she gained from her embrace of Buddhist culture in India and a mindset bent toward notions of reconciliation, peace, and sensuality that were nearly absent in popular music in the late '90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose themes continue on \"That I Would Be Good,\" a confident reflection that takes stock of one's mental, physical, and emotional state in the face of both changing and unpleasant circumstances — and concludes with Morissette performing a flute solo, further exposing the raw intimacy of the introspective tune. She channels relatable simplicity and joy on \"So Pure,\" with her invocations of \"dance\" and \"freestyle\" speaking to the freedom of expression that courses throughout\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie\u003c\/em\u003e. And perhaps no song finds Morissette showcasing her refreshed attitude toward life and opening up more than the relationship-themed \"Unsent,\" whose unconventional structures and lack of a chorus only add to its directness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkin to many albums that were ahead of their time, and despite the critical and commercial accolades afforded it upon release,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eattracted new appreciation and perspective as it got older. Issued during an era where its ideas of serenity, absolution, tranquility, and contentment seemed largely alien, the record — akin to the ways its predecessor foreshadowed a movement — now functions as a visionary beacon that foretells of way to maintain sanity, dignity, and goodness amid a contemporary landscape filled with constant distractions, polarizing views, and incessant calls to purchase, promote, and produce without questioning the what-for purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSupposed Former Infatuation Junkie\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edares to ask the questions and, at its best, supplies meaningful answers and alternatives that lead to longed-for enlightenment, healing, and laughter.
