While promoting her new Holiday album, Canadian icon Alanis Morisette revealed she indentifies as pansexual.
The Canadian singer-songwriter made the revelation during a November 3 appearance on the Handsome podcast, hosted by comedians Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin. The conversation turned to Morissette's past relationships with men when Feimster asked whether those experiences had ever made her consider becoming a lesbian.
"I'm pansexual, so yeah," Morissette replied, adding, "I get everything."
Notaro initially questioned whether she was serious, prompting Morissette to confirm that she was. When the hosts suggested she could have opened the interview with the revelation, the singer joked that she preferred to leave it for the epilogue.
Last week, she released Good Weather for Immaculate Conception, her first full-length holiday album, which came out November 6 through Epiphany Music and Virgin Music.
The 14-track collection brings together traditional Christmas songs, reinterpretations of familiar holiday favourites and two original compositions, "To an Empath at Christmas Time" and "Christmas on the Dance Floor."
The album also features an unusually eclectic guest list. Brandi Carlile and comedian-musician Steve Martin join Morissette on "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem," while Amythyst Kiah appears on "Momma Mary." Other collaborators include Joy Oladokun, Martin Short and Trans Voices, the UK's first professional trans and non-binary vocal ensemble.
The tracklist also includes interpretations of Joni Mitchell's "River," Wham!'s "Last Christmas" and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)."
