“Flavors of Entanglement,” which she hopes to whittle down to 11 tracks in the following weeks, includes “Not As We,” which features only piano and vocals, and “Moratorium,” which is “essentially a song about my readiness to stop repeating bad patterns. I’ve kicked some of those in my life,” she said.

Thematically, the album explores Morissette’s personal struggles over the last few years. (Earlier this year, it was announced that Morissette and fiance Ryan Reynolds had broken up.)

The set balances world- and folk-influenced tracks against the experimental pop leanings of producer Guy Sigsworth (Bjork, Madonna).

“Flavors of Entanglement” is the follow-up to 2004’s “So-Called Chaos,” which was a commercial disappointment. In 2005, she released an acoustic version of her 1995 breakthrough “Jagged Little Pill.”

Morissette will road-test the material as the opening act for the Matchbox Twenty tour that begins January 25 in Hollywood, Fla.
