Alanis Morissette Partners With Mercedes-Benz and 'Mixed Tape' for New 'Underneath' Video



MONTVALE, N.J., June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Seven-time Grammy winning artist
Alanis Morissette has partnered with Mercedes-Benz and its "Mixed Tape" online music magazine for "Underneath," the first video/single from her highly
anticipated new album Flavors of Entanglement (Maverick/Reprise Records).
Alanis, a strong supporter of environmental causes and organizations, chose
the fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTEC for the music clip.

"Making green choices on a local level is important in creating global
change," says Alanis. "I'm glad that Mercedes-Benz is introducing a great
option with the new E320 BlueTEC, and thrilled to include it in the video for
my new song 'Underneath' as it fits right in with the concept."

In the video, which was shot in Los Angeles, Alanis is sitting at a bus
stop wearing a "Save the Earth" t-shirt and distributing fliers to encourage
concern for the environment. When a Mercedes-Benz E320 BlueTEC passes by, Alanis salutes the Mercedes driver in appreciation for their environmentally
aware choice.

Flavors of Entanglement will go on sale in Italy and Germany on May 30,
and June 2 in most other countries except Japan and United States where it
will arrive on June 2 and June 10, respectively. The new video is in extra
large rotation on VH-1 following its debut on May 20. In June, the
"Underneath" video featuring the E320 BlueTEC sedan will appear online both at Mixed Tape, the downloadable Mercedes-Benz music magazine
(Mercedes-Benz.tv | english - The IPTV of Mercedes-Benz), and at the Mercedes-Benz USA BlueTEC microsite (www.mbusa.com).

BlueTEC denotes state-of-the-art engine and exhaust technology which
produces the cleanest diesels available on the market today. Utilizing this
technology, the V6-powered E320 BlueTEC diesel is able to provide the powerful torque of a large V8 engine with the low fuel consumption of a four-cylinder compact. This fall, the E320 BlueTEC sedan will be joined by a trio of Mercedes-Benz SUV's using this advanced powerplant, including ML320 BlueTEC SUV, the larger GL320 BlueTEC, and the versatile R320 BlueTEC.

Beyond their fuel efficiency, from an environmental standpoint, BlueTEC
vehicles are the cleanest diesels available in the world today. Since diesels
inherently burn less fuel than gasoline vehicles, they also produce
significantly lower emissions of carbon dioxide (C02). Also, in BlueTEC
vehicles particulate levels are reduced to levels comparable -- or better than
-- that of gasoline-powered vehicles. Last year, the Mercedes-Benz E320
BlueTEC was named the "2007 World Green Car," an awards program initiated,
organized, and conducted by automotive journalists from around the globe.

Alanis Morissette Partners With Mercedes-Benz and 'Mixed Tape' for New 'Underneath' Video

Now before I hear ANY whining about Alanis Morissette, go listen to the new album Flavours of Entanglement. It's excellent.

The only question here is who needs who more: Alanis the Benz, or Daimler the Alanis?

IMO she is the one who needs a promotion, not the Benz.


Having Janis for the inspiration?

"Oh, Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz? ... "

The only thing i don't like is the wheels

Benz needs her ofcourse!

Have you heard the album Tarek?

This is totally off-topic, but...


HER MUSIC SUCKS.




Everytime the radio stations play a song of hers I switch stations. Those few "raspy screams" I've heard sent chills down my spine.

I have never seen her face before. I thought she will look like an angry old witch, guess I am wrong, and good thing she didn't pick something like the Lexus RX400h for her video.

Her voice may irritate some, but her lyrics have substance.

No,not yet

I'm not a fan or hater of her

good for her
