Alanis Morissette has revealed she “hit rock bottom” over the last few years after problems in her personal life.
“I took a break over the past two and half years. I was tending to my personal life,” she told People.com.
The Canadian singer called off her engagement to actor Ryan Reynolds in 2006 – she did not comment about news of his engagement to Scarlett Johansson
The star “hit rock bottom” due to “a personal unravelling of significant relationships in my life.”
However, Alanis was able to channel her emotions into her new album Flavors of Entanglement which is due out in the US on June 10.
“The record chronicles the rock bottom finally being hit,” she said, adding that she got through it by “pounding pillows (and) sharing with intimate friends.”
However, she is still hopeful about finding love in the future.
“Oh yeah. My nature is always hope filled,” she admitted. “It’s more about values matching now. That’s the foundation.”
