Alanis Morissette may have been making her TV reality show appearances lately, singing on American Idol with Crystal Bowersox; and becoming a mentor on last season’s The Voice. But she hadn’t produced an album since Flavors of Entanglement, an album in which critics said she showed the most individuality and growth than she ever had before. Fans wanted more; but they had to wait another four years before they got it. Now, that time is here.

Almost a year after posting on Facebook that she was back in the studio, fans can now expect a new album from Morissette — and a date for it! Being released on August 28 is Morissette’s eighth studio effort, Havoc and Bright Lights; and she’s got a tour planned to promote it as well!

The tour will be named the Guardian Angel Tour 2012, after her first hit single off the album, Guardian. She’ll stop in over thirty cities across North America, and will be bringing new tracks as well as the favorites that fans have fallen in love with over the years.

“The show covers the gamut of every chord choice and every emotion I have ever felt,” she said in a statement announcing the tour. “The songs from the last 17 years are blending together like great friends. Thankfully there is a timelessness in their content and passion for me!”

Be ready to download Alanis’ latest in less than two weeks and, in the meantime, check her tour dates and get Alanis Morissette tickets for a city near you!
