Wendy Lands is a Canadian singer and songwriter, most noted for receiving a Juno Award nomination for Best New Solo Artist in 1997.

[3] While living in Toronto, she was a member of the pop band Double Dare and an understudy for the role of Eponine in a production of Les Misérables.

[5] By the time of the album's wider release, however, Alanis Morissette had risen to international fame with Jagged Little Pill, and Lands was unfairly labeled by some critics as an imitation of Morissette;[6] other critics, however, acknowledged superficial similarities in a couple of Lands' songs, but noted that the album as a whole was dominated by pop ballads rather than Morissette-style rock songs.

[11] She supported the album with a Canadian tour, both on her own and as an opening act for Jann Arden[12] and Kim Stockwood.

[15] She then moved to Los Angeles for a number of years, writing songs with Paul Williams, Melissa Manchester,[16] and Larry John McNally and continuing to do voiceover work in commercials.
