Now is the Time - Alanis Morissette Archives


 

Now is the Time is the second studio album by Alanis Morissette, exclusively released in Canada on August 1, 1992 by MCA Records Canada. The album, which fulfilled her contractual obligations with the record label, was recorded with producer Leslie Howe, serving the same role he did in 1991’s Alanis.

As with its predecessor, four singles were released from the album – An Emotion Away on November 25, 1992; No Apologies on February 3, 1993; Real World on May 31, 1993; and (Change Is) Never a Waste of Time on September 21, 1993. Though it was certified Gold in Canada for shipping 50,000 copies, the album sold significantly less than expected, and is her lowest selling album overall.
