Alanis Morissette’s debut holiday record, Good Weather for Immaculate Conception, is scheduled for Nov. 6 through Epiphany Music/Virgin Music. The preview song places her alongside Brandi Carlile and Steve Martin, the latter on banjo. The project combines well-known seasonal selections with two fresh originals, “Christmas on the Dance Floor” and “To an Empath at Christmas Time.”
Other featured artists include Joy Oladokun, Amythyst Kiah, Martin Short, and Trans Voices, a UK professional trans choir billed as the country’s first. Morissette’s previous studio album came in 2022; this year brought a Songwriters Hall of Fame induction and UK/European tour dates. Her Los Angeles YouTube Theater residency is set for November.
This announcement may reach Morissette’s longtime listeners, holiday-music fans, and followers of her guests. The inclusion of Trans Voices could offer added visibility to trans performers within mainstream seasonal releases, while collaborations with Carlile, Martin, Oladokun, Kiah, and Short may attract different audiences. Its broader impact could depend on playlist placement,
