AceShowbiz - Avril Lavigne has unveiled her rendition of Alanis Morissette's iconic song Ironic for the upcoming romantic comedy Mile End Kicks soundtrack.
Lavigne's version stays true to the original, highlighting her distinctive gritty vocal style. This is not the first time she has performed the track; in 2005, shortly after releasing her album Under My Skin, she joined Morissette in a live duet of Ironic at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. That concert also featured the pair performing Lavigne's song Losing Grip from her debut album Let Go.
The song Ironic is one of Morissette's most recognized hits, originally featured on her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill. This album later inspired a Broadway jukebox musical adaptation in 2018, which earned two Tony Awards, including Best Book of a Musical, and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.
In a 2020 Rolling Stone Music Now podcast episode, Morissette shared that she was initially reluctant to include Ironic on the album. However, she eventually agreed, and the song went on to become her highest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number four.
The new cover by Lavigne is set to bring fresh attention to this classic hit while contributing to the soundtrack of Mile End Kicks, blending nostalgia with contemporary flair.
