À propos de cet audio
A lively collection of essays that reexamines the extraordinary legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated ’90s music and changed the industry forever.
Fully revised and updated, with a foreword by Vivek Shraya
In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Céline Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bona fide global superstars while revolutionizing ’90s music. In an era when male-fronted musical acts dominated radio and were given serious critical consideration, these four women were reduced, mocked, and disparaged by the media and became pop culture jokes, even as their albums were topping the charts and demolishing sales records.
With empathy, humor, and reflections on her own teenaged perceptions of Céline, Shania, Alanis, and Sarah, Andrea offers us a revised and expanded edition of her 2015 book, providing a new perspective on the legacies of the four Canadian women who dominated the ’90s airwaves and influenced an entire generation of current-day popstars with their voices, fashion, and advocacy. As the world is now reconsidering the treatment and reputations of key women in ’90s entertainment, We Oughta Know is definitively entering the chat.

I. Want. Nothing but. For you. To read. This book.
To say that, as a teen, I was musically promiscuous would be an understatement.
I loved musical theatre (don’t judge me) and Christian Rock (okay, judge me a little) and Great Big Sea, and The Wailing Aztecs, (I *may* have taught myself broken ASL for Take Me to the River) a folk trio from The Sault that I can find NO WHERE online.
But my whole shriveled heart belonged, in equal parts, to Alanis, Sarah, and Jann.
This book – that feels both super-niche yet universal – feeds that shriveled heart.
The author has a way better musical palate than I (much like wine, I can only tell you what I like – what doesn’t make my face squinch up – not why) and it was fascinating to hear her talk about these artists in a technical way, as well as emotional.
I loved the bits of old reviews and articles, her personal anecdotes, her stellar audio narration, and the inclusive, intersection music suggestions.
I thought my TBR was long.
Ruh-roh, Shaggy.
