Andrea Warner
A lively collection of essays that re-examines 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
"A fascinating, fun, and infuriating read." - Tegan Quin, Tegan and Sara
In this of-the-moment essay collection, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner explores the ways in which Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, and Sarah McLachlan became bonafide 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 Celine, 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.
