Poppy Surprises Fans by Rerecording Alanis Morissette's Classic for Film and Version Divides the Internet

The singer Poppy once again caught the public's attention by releasing a new version of "Hand in My Pocket", a classic immortalized by Alanis Morissette on the legendary 1995 album Jagged Little Pill.

The reinterpretation will be part of the soundtrack for the film Mile End Kicks, a new project by Sumerian Pictures, the cinematographic arm of the Sumerian Records label.

In the new interpretation, Poppy bets on a softer and more minimalist sound, mixing delicate vocals with dry drums and rawer instrumental elements. The result creates a modern atmosphere without abandoning the emotional essence of the original song.

The track quickly began to resonate with fans of Alternative Rock and admirers of Alanis Morissette, mainly due to the way in which Poppy managed to transform the 90s hit into something darker, contemporary and cinematic.

The classic "Hand in My Pocket" was originally released in 1995 and helped to consolidate Alanis Morissette as one of the biggest names in Alternative Rock worldwide. The song was part of the historic album Jagged Little Pill, one of the best-selling albums in music history. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
