"I had the privilege of going on tour with Tori," she said. "A five-and-a-half-week tour in 1999. It was a really sweet journey point for me to be touring with someone who had such a big influence on my feeling liberated to stream-of-consciousness-write basically, and just write what was going on."

Morissette also revealed that along with Amos, Kate Bush provided her with a lot of musical influence.

"She was 19 when this came out in 1978, she’s English [with a] song called "Wuthering Heights" and she became the first female to achieve a UK No. 1 with a self-written song," she praised the singer.

"Kate Bush was so gorgeous to me. Her voice was so beautiful to the point where I really believed that if I could sing along with her and hit the same notes as her, that I had a tiny chance to be able to be a legit singer at some point," she continued.

Morissette also went on to talk about her husband and his writing skills, joking, "This next song is a song by my darling, gorgeous, sexy husband. He’s sitting right next to me, but I would say that about you, whether you were here or not, honey."

"It’s one of my favourite songs of Souleye’s, partly because it’s a song I adore, but it’s also a song that I was first introduced to when I met him," she said.

"I met Souleye, was very intrigued by him, to say the least," she added. "And then someone came up to me and said, 'Hey, have you heard his music?' And I said, 'No, I haven’t.' And she said, she gave me this look, and she goes, 'Oh, you’re f--d.' And as things went, I was very taken."
