Alanis Morissette recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and used the opportunity to deliver a live rendition of Wham!’s 1984 classic track “Last Christmas”.
Morissette is currently promoting her EP Last Christmas, which came out in early November. Besides the title track, the release also saw Canadian singer/songwriter cover Harry Simeone Chorale’s “The Little Drummer Boy”, traditional Christmas carol “What Child Is This?”, and John Lennon’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)”.
Wham! originally released “Last Christmas” as a single in 1984. The track, written by George Michael, was a massive hit and remains one of the most popular Christmas songs ever. It was previously covered by a number of high-profile music acts, including Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and the Backstreet Boys.
Alanis Morissette’s most recent full album was 2022’s The Storm Before the Calm. The record saw Morissette move away from her recognizable style and venture into meditation and ambient music. It received generally positive reviews from the critics.
Morissette is currently preparing to hit the road in 2024 for The Triple Moon Tour. The trip will see the singer play 20 shows between June and August, with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Morgan Wade joining her as special guests.
