In a statement, Alanis, who was recently seen as a mentor on The Voice, said, "This record, as always, is a snapshot of what I currently obsess about, care about, and what strikes me at four in the morning in my most introspective moments." She adds, "It is my emotional, psychological, social and philosophical commentary through song."

Writing on her website, Alanis notes of her new music, "I am giddy and nervous and beaming for the chance to begin to share it all with you...let these fun games begin again."

Havoc and Bright Lights will mark Alanis' first album since she got married and gave birth to her son, Ever, who's now 17 months old.  Her last album, 2008's Flavors of Entanglement, reached #8 on the Billboard chart.
